We’re COUNTRY and NEVER apologize for it
Every country news outlet talked about it…and even us.
Morgan Wallen poked fun at his broken piano incident in a TikTok. He said, quote, “Hey, I just want you guys to know, that right now, this piano is working. And that’s what they told me last night, too.”
He also added in the caption, quote, “Can’t you tell I’m so distraught over my piano.”
Zach Top was ready to play baseball in Nashville.
The sixth annual Folds of Honor Tennessee Rock ‘N Jock Celebrity Softball Game took place on Monday, June 1, 2026, at First Horizon Park in Nashville, Tennessee. The game was between Team Military with their Riley Green and Team First Responders who team captain Zach Top.
And Zach showed up like that one uncle at family reunion would. He came to the game with cold beer and chain smoked cigarettes during the game like a true country legend.
The event was a massive success, drawing a sold-out crowd of over 9,000 fans and raising a record-breaking $701,460 to provide educational scholarships for the families of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders. Ultimately Team Military, captained by country star Riley Green, took home the victory over Team First Responders..
The boys are getting back together y’all.
It looks like Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard have officially made amends and are teasing a Florida Georgia Line reunion. They updated their social media accounts with a logo of, “FGL LFG”. And LFG stands for “Let’s F*cking Go” by the way.
Billboards have also popped up in Nashville, and when fans text the listed number on it, they get a message that says, “turns out, some things are just better together. Much more to come. FGL LFG.”
There’s also rumors they might be making a surprise appearance at CMA Fest on Friday.
A woman in Florida was recently arrested for calling 911 to complain that they wouldn’t serve her a Jell-O shot. That isn’t the most absurd reason someone has called the cops…but it’s up there.
Buzzfeed put out a list of the dumbest reasons people have called 91…straight from 911 dispatchers themselves. Here are some highlights:
1. This one might deserve a BIT of a pass: A 96-year-old woman called 911 to report a missing child…because her 68-year-old daughter hadn’t gotten back by dark. (Yeah, but the woman was 96, after all.)
2. A lady called in from a Wendy’s drive-thru, because they wouldn’t sell her a Whopper. (Whoppers are sold at Burger King by the way.)
3. A guy called during a power outage to ask for the score of the USA / Canada Olympic Gold Medal game. The dispatcher said, “I’m Canadian. Obviously, I told him.”
4. Someone called to report that their neighbors were “dropping pebbles” into her pebbled driveway. Turns out, it wasn’t happening, and she had actually been harassing them for months.
5. Someone called 911 because they were a tourist and bored, and didn’t have much money…so they wanted some tips on what to do.
6. Someone called to report a missing Amazon package, despite it showing as “delivered.” The caller later found out that it was delivered to the wrong floor of their apartment building.
7. An adult admitted that they got in trouble for calling 911 when they were a child, because their grandparents were insisting that they eat a hot dog.
(Most of us have heard about a KID calling 911, accidentally or not. Does your story beat the hot dog one? Would it matter if that hot dog had been boiled? Grandparents have been known to do that.)
8. An older lady called to complain that a random man “didn’t hold the door open for her.”
9. One dispatcher said, “I got yelled at once because no one turned on the Northern Lights.”
10. And there’s this amusing story from a retired cop: “A woman would call four or five times a week because of a ghost in her attic. We finally gave up on telling her to stop, and went over there with a mason jar . . .
“We said, ‘We’re going to fix your problem.’ We went up, shuffled around, lit a cigarette, blew the smoke into the jar, and put the lid on. We went back down, and said, ‘We got him!’ She was thrilled. And we never heard from her again.”

Megan Moroney kicked off her “Cloud 9” tour last Friday (5/29/26). It doesn’t end until October so to prepare for the grueling schedule, she was intentional in how she trains.
For starters, she says her glamorous outfits weigh between 10 to 15 pounds. So, to make sure she can maintain stamina and an energetic stage presence, she wore a weighted vest to rehearsals.
Megan would also sing while using a treadmill with a weighted vest. To help with recovery, she’d also use the sauna and do a cold plunge every day.
When Luke Grimes was contemplating a music career and going through Imposter Syndrome, he received some very simple advice from his “Yellowstone” costar and fellow musician Ryan Bingham.
He said Ryan told him, “’hey man, if you got good songs…you know.’ I was like, that’s really cool, that’s a good thing to hang onto…it can be that simple.”
And luckily for the country music world, Luke did in fact release his debut EP, “Pain Pills Or Pews”, in 2023. Now we have three projects from Luke that are solid country songs to listen to on any given day.
Tim McGraw is back with two new songs y’all.
They’re called “Song for America“ and “Pawn Shop Guitar“. I mean he definitely had a few issues that had him putting everything on pause. He said, “it’s no secret that over the last few years I got sidelined with back and knee issues.
“That time was challenging on so many levels, but one of the positive things that came out of it, aside from physically being back to 100%, was that it gave me time to reflect on my life and to write songs.”
”Song for America” is perfect timing for America’s 250th birthday this year too. And welcome back, Tim.
Riley Green’s upcoming album, “That’s Just Me”, comes out in September, so naturally he went ahead and extended his tour.
He announced fall dates with support from Randy Houser, Kashus Culpepper, and Hannah McFarland on select nights. And the fall leg of his tour starts up September 10, 2026 Denver, Colorado at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater. For dates and tickets, please visit rileygreenmusic.com.
And just one day before his new album’s announcement, Riley teased a collaboration with Alabama‘s frontman Randy Owen and performed that unreleased song from the album called “Lookout Mountain”.
Morgan Wallen rolling into Denver, Colorado for a two night stay at Mile High and he got a little upset.
It was all over technical difficulties at his show in Denver Friday (5/29/26) night, that he shoved his piano and flipped it over. He was performing “Sand in My Boots”, and couldn’t hear the piano.
He finished the song a cappella and with an audience sing-along. Then he went ahead and broke the piano after his final note.
Morgan made light of the incident at Saturday night’s show. When it was time to perform the song, he said, “let’s see if this piano works tonight.”

Eric Church’s “Stick That In Your Country Song” is sitting at #20, George Strait and Alan Jackson “Murder on Music Row” came in at #18 and Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North Of Richmond” landed at #16. And those should’ve been much higher on this list.
