I knew this day would come…but this fucking hurts.

Dolly Parton, who rose from an impoverished upbringing in the mountains of East Tennessee to become the “Queen of Country” music, a Hollywood star and a beloved American icon, has sadly died, her family announced on Tuesday.

She was born on January 19, 1946 in a one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee and August 25, 2026 will officially be her last day on earth. Dolly’s nephew, Brian Seaver, announced the heartbreaking news in a video posted on her Instagram. He did not provide details about her death though, which is expected.

He said…

“My name is Brian Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next.

This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it til now.”

Seaver then added that Dolly “lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others.”

She’s definitely going to missed. Rest in peace Queen.

Not only did she ride in on a giant disco ball sack the opening night of her tour, she also said some pretty silly shit.

Kacey Musgraves kicked off her “Middle of Nowhere Tour” on Friday at the United Center in Chicago, after cancelling the original opening night in Chicago along with three other scheduled shows. And the cancelling of her shows was probably due to waiting on her giant disco ball sack…because it takes time to build disco balls y’all.

During the same show in Chicago, Kacey took some time to get serious and address the crowd about immigrants, urging her fans to donate in honor of her birthday to an organization that helps the children of immigrants who she says have been “deported unfairly”.

“It’s a wonderful organization, and they help give aid, legal aid, and money to children whose parents have been deported unfairly. It’s not a political thing, it’s just these kids need help.”

She tried to point out how it’s not political, but it is. I also don’t know what’s unfair about being deported when you’re in a country illegally. It happens in every damn country on earth. If you brake into my home and in you’re literally my home illegally, I’m going to force you out of my home aggressively if need be. It’s that simple.

I welcome legal immigration with open arms though. If you want to visit or live in any country…it’s best to knock on the front door to be invited in first to not “deported unfairly”.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is #1 for a 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100 and counting.

She is officially tied for the second-longest leading song. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas Xfeaturing Billy Ray Cyrus also have 19 weeks on the Hot 100.

The longest-leading song is Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”with 22 weeks. So, “Choosin’ Texas” needs to keep the streak for four weeks to break Mariah’s record and set a new one. I really hope it happens too. Mainly because that song has ruined holiday season for me and it’s it reason why I kind sort of hate Christmas music.

Now you’d think for such a dominant song, everyone would have heard of Ella before. But that’s not the case for Doja Cat, who ever the hell that is.

Have you ever wondered how much alcohol is sold at a Morgan Wallen show? These are not rookie numbers neither.

To get an idea, he performed two shows at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina in June, and the numbers are in. It was lot more than “Fifteen Beers”. I mean this would make Johnny Paycheck proud y’all.

It was reported that 135,931 alcoholic beverages were sold, and a total of $2.1 million in net revenue from alcohol, food and beverage sales. And we need to thank the hangovers that happened the following day for those impressive numbers.

Reading can be hard. I know, because I too avoid certain words as to not embarrass myself too much in public.

I’m also not sure what this woman was trying to order. Mainly because the “analhilator” is clearly not on this menu.

When it comes to some people, you really can’t take them anywhere.

Now I can’t actually confirm rather or not this person attended the Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean’s show in Washington D.C….but is how they were found outside of National Park. Which is how you probably should leave their concert to be honest.

I’m also wondering if they’re concert friends just left them laying on the ground like that? Either way. The show looked like it left this possible concert goer lit.

I’m not sure when this happened exactly…or where. But it showed up on my for you page on TikTok and it’s worth sharing.

Kevin Fowler is a class act and Texas Country Music royalty in my eyes. His catalog is stacked with some of the finest country music I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. “Lose, Loud and Crazy”, “Beer, Bait and Ammo”, “Hard Man To Love”, “100% Texas”, “The Lord Loves the Drinkin’ Man” and “Ain’t Drinkin’ anymore” to name a few of his songs are certified country twangers.

His “Best of…so Far” album that was released in 2010 has all of the music you need from Mr. Fowler in your life.

Kevin was obviously working and in of a classic of his when drunk decided to play chase with the law onstage. Kevin was in middle of playing “Ain’t Drinkin’ anymore” when it happened too. It was also to perfect song for drunk to be chased onstage to be honest.

Some people wouldn’t be caught dead entering a Buc-ee’s bathroom. Others are apparently willing to die to get to one. Mainly because they seriously clean and prestigious y’all.

And this apparently knows that too. A 30-year-old man in Florida named Omar Soliman was arrested for speeding on the interstate earlier this month…and he was hauling ass. He was clocked at 117 miles per hour in a 70 mile-per-hour zone. And this was at 2:45 P.M.

Omar reportedly told deputies that he was trying to make it to the bathroom at Buc-ee’s. But the nearest Buc-ee’s was roughly 61 miles away in Daytona Beach. Which is why he was trying to cut down on travel time.

He was charged with reckless driving and super-speeding.

In a Facebook post, the Sheriff’s Office said, “while we all love the clean bathrooms, and the variety of tasty snacks at Buc-ee’s…if you’re going to use that as an excuse for speeding, you should probably make sure you’re actually close to it!”

It all started June 20, 2018 and it’s been great for the western retail world too.

Taylor Sheridan, Paramount, and NBC Universal are all being sued by a writer who claims Taylor Sheridan stole her idea for a TV show and used it to create “Yellowstone”. The timeline of her allegations add up too.

The writer says she submitted a pilot script, show bible, and pitch deck for a show called “Sovereign Nation” to Taylor’s reps in late 2016 and early 2017. She says “Yellowstone” used her plot details and casting recommendations.

She’s seeking damages and profits tied to the alleged copyright infringement and wants to stop future and continued infringement.

If you don’t like dogs…you’re not good person. Let’s be real here.

Carly Pearce once broke up with a guy who was mean to her Shih Tzu, Johnny. She wrote a song about it called “He Don’t Like My Dogs”. It’s on her upcoming album, “Honest Woman”, which comes out August 28th.

She said, “I was in a relationship where somebody was not nice to Johnny and that was it. Johnny and I talked. We kicked him out of the family.  And my favorite thing about this is he will know exactly that this song is about him when he hears it.”

And in case you’ve forgotten, Carly’s dog is named after Johnny Cash and June Carter. Her Shih Tzus are Johnny and June.
