When the say, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, in this particular case it absolutely needs to stay in Vegas.
A Las Vegas country singer named Cali Tucker is going viral for her bizarre performance of Luke Combs’“Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma”. Now her vocals are great, but her stage setup is what had people disturbed.
She sang while sitting on an acrobatic performer who was walking around on all fours…on stilts…while dressed like a horse. One fan commented, “what in the sleep paralysis is happening?”
I mean seriously, what in the actual hell is this?
Here’s a cure for your case of another day of adulting. This adorable weenie dog went viral for all of the right reasons. This dog likes dancing to Alabama’s“Mountain Music”. He’s propped up on his hind legs and pumping his paws to the beat of the music in the video.
His owner captioned the video saying, “when your dog hears ‘Mountain Music’ and turns into a full-blown road trip hype man.” God bless this little dog too.
When you’re a word traveler…it’s good to try some new things while you’re in a foreign country.
Jake Worthington was Australia for CMC Rocks QLD, which is Australia’s premier international country music festival and the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The 2026 festival, which recently concluded, took place from Friday, March 20th to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich, Queensland.
Jake decided to try some local food while he was there, as he tried some vegemite on toast. And I’ve never personally heard of that. So, he’s a brave man to me…and it went exactly how you’d except.
After taking his first bite he said, “this is not chicken on a biscuit buddy.” And being from Texas myself, I felt that.
At least no one can say Jake didn’t try something new while he was in Australia.
This is what the future and America is really about.
Charlie Daniels will be resurrected to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. A hologram of Charlie will headline a 4th of July concert at the Fort Campbell military base in Kentucky.
There will also be performances from Aaron Tippin, Eric Lee Beddingfield, and the 101st Airborne Division Band. Fort Campbell is one of five locations across the country that will host a block party for America250.
Charlie unfortunately passed away at 83 years old on July 6, 2020 from a hemorrhagic stroke. And the man is still missed everyday.
His son said, “this show is kind of a dream come true for me. We also couldn’t think of a better place to unveil it than on America’s 250th birthday among the brave men and women of our armed forces and their families.”
Ashley Monroe had a lot to say in how she feels about Nashville.
She just dropped her seventh album, “Dear Nashville”, on Friday March 27, 2026. And it’s more of love and hate relationship with Nashville. Ashley has had a pretty good career over the past 23 years to say the least. She’s written and released 4 albums with Pistol Annies, co-written two songs that were number 1 on country radio, nominated for 3 Grammys, released 7 solo albums as of this past Friday, and she’s watched a lot of her dreams come true.
With that being said…Nashville along with mainstream country music seems act like Ashley doesn’t exist at times and she’s now saying something about that. And rightfully so.
She posted a long note she wrote on her socials saying….
“For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of coming to Nashville to live out my dream. A couple years after daddy died, me and mama left Knoxville and headed west… with a fire and an unwavering faith inside my broken little heart that would not let up.
Over the past 23 years, I have met some of the cornerstones of my life in this town (one being Sir Vince). I have been signed and dropped by several labels, written and released 4 albums with Pistol Annies, co-written two songs that were number 1 on country radio, nominated for 3 Grammys, released 6 solo albums, and have watched a lot of my dreams come true.
I make music because I love it with every fiber of my being. I believe God gave this gift to me, and with it I want to create art that helps heal the places words alone cannot reach.
I am forever thankful to everyone who has supported me and unconditionally loved me on this journey.
Yet, I have also felt underestimated, let down, and taken for granted. Last fall after attending an industry event, it hit me so hard it took my breath away…’they’re never gonna see me…’
In that moment, I finally let myself feel how sad that makes me.
Nothing has inspired me more, or hurt me more than this place. I feel like I’ve earned the right to say that. Yet, every morning there’s this hope of a miracle on that Batman horizon that I’m unable to shake.
After years of trying to focus on the bright side and pretending this town doesn’t break my heart, I figured why not let em know… what do I have to lose?
If someone is hurting us, and we don’t let them know, isn’t that on us?
-Ash
P.s. is there anything better than Paul Franklin?
P.s.s I love you John Grady, Sally Barris, and Ree Guyer. My northern(er) stars forever.
To my beautiful Nashville, I wish you loved me as much as I love you.”
In a recent appearance on Dale Brisby’s “Rodeo Time” podcast, Cody Johnson talked about this insane moment back in 2019 when his jet was in complete free fall for tens of thousands of feet.
He was flying from Haddysburg, Mississippi, to Austin, Texas, to perform the national anthem at the NASCAR Cup Series in 2021. And this was actually the first time he was traveling via private jet. Here’s the interesting part. The flight took off just fine, then soon after flying over the crash site of Lynyrd Skynyrd (of all places), the plane started plummeting downward.
“It was very ironic because we were going over the crash site where Lynyrd Skynyrd went down. The alarms go off and the plane just starts plummeting. And you want confidence out of a lot of people, like your surgeons, you know, the guy pulling your bull rope. But I think your pilot [is another one]. When you can see true, unadulterated fear in a man’s eyes and he’s the one controlling the aircraft, [it’s terrifying].
Even more ironic compared to the fact that they started going down around the Skynyrd crash site, Cody said he was really enjoying the flight before the alarms started going off.
“So I get up, and we’re kind of plummeting through the air. You can feel like the drinks are starting to kind of move around. We were actually playing cards, and I’ve never said this on a plane ever again. I said, ‘Well, this don’t suck,’ [and the alarms went off].”
Clearly sensing something was wrong, Cody went up to the cockpit to ask the pilots what was wrong. That’s when they informed him that the plane was going down and it wasn’t going to be an emergency landing. The plane was literally going down in a free-fall. After being told the terrifying news, Cody began looking at pictures of his kids next to his wife, Brandi, both thinking they might not make it out of the plane alive.
“I ran up to the pilots, and I said, ‘What the heck is going on?’ and he was white as a sheep. He looked at me and said, ‘You need to sit down and make yourself ready. We’re going down.’ And I said, ‘Where are we putting it down?’ He said, ‘We’re not putting it down, we’re going down.
I turned around and Noe and Jackson and Brandi are looking at me, like eyes wide open… I went and sat by Brandi and we started looking through our phones and looking at pictures of our kids. [We were like], ‘Look at what we did.’”
Cody’s wife started praying, and during Brandi’s prayer in the back of the plane, the plane finally leveled off at 10,000 feet after losing tens of thousands during its free fall. And I believe that’s where divine intervention came into play. Cody went to say…
“She gathered us around that back table in the plane, and we held hands. She went to praying out loud, speaking over that plane, and at 10,000 feet, it leveled off.”
Now after Cody, Brandi and the rest of the crew ended up landing in Austin, Texas safely…they found out the entire situation was completely on the fault of the pilot…not an engine malfunction or any mechanical problem.
“This is the power of prayer right here. They did diagnostics on that plane; there was nothing wrong with the plane. I truly, to this day, believe she prayed that plane into the air.”
I’m guessing Cody’s first time flying on a private jet won’t ever be forgotten. Especially after an incident like that…and God is definitely good.
Carrie Underwood has two sons, an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old. And She was recently asked on “The View” if she would ever let them go on a singing competition show.
Carrie says they both can sing, and the older one is big into his music, but it’s a hard no.
She said, “he’s mini-me in so many ways, but I don’t think I would. He would need to be older and more established in himself before I would give my blessing on getting into it.”
Parker McCollum sat down for an interview with the “Ten Year Town Podcast”to talk about life and music.
His last album, which was his fifth studio as well being a self titled album, was released last June and I wasn’t as popular as his others to say the least. And that kind of upsets me personally a little considering how this album of Parker’s was a phenomenal project from him.
But he said, “I don’t give a shit one bit. For one reason. For one reason, because I love that record so much. I knew going into it, man, this record’s for me.”
As a real fan of this album in discussion here…a passion project like this is some of the best music any artist can release. Mainly because it doesn’t get more real and honest than an album like that. And thank you for releasing this album, Parker.
