This is one of the reasons why Maren Morris has lost half of her fan base.

It’s absolutely acceptable to not like a politician. And rather they’re playing for the blue team or the red team, they are all a waste of taxpayer dollars. Mainly because they usually take care of themselves before they care of the people they work for.

Maren put down country music as whole while distancing herself from mainstream country music, citing discomfort with the genre’s, in her view, conservative, misogynistic, and racist, and homophobic elements according to her views. She literally announced her departure from the genre like she was moving out of her moms house for the first time.

Placing blame of people as a whole is immature, hateful and shows a person’s lack of intelligence. But here we are.

Now she’s decided to hate on more people in video rant on TikTok…

“I don’t have forgiveness for any of the Trumpers. You voted for this. He is a dementia-ridden, diaper-clad, cornball, ex-TV host, bankrupt to fuck. And you got bamboozled, and I get it, like, Fox News is a propaganda machine of just Cocomelon brain rot for boomers.”

This is also coming from a woman who whole heartedly supported Joe Biden. The same politician who started in politics back in 1970. And the same politician who did nothing to help the average American citizen in any meaningful way. The only thing Biden was good at…is lying to American people in hopes to gain more votes.

It’s sad how politics brings out the worst in all of us somedays.

If you’ve ever been to a Buc-ee’s, you can see why it has a cult-like following with a cute beaver mascot. 

It’s a gas station with spotless bathrooms and a convenience store that offers smoked brisket. It’s literally like heaven on earth. Of course I’m from Texas…so I’ll always be team Buc-ee’s.

While it’s mostly in the south, it’s expanding to eight states by the end of 2027. Those eight states are…Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

I’m still a little pissed off the town of Palmer Park due to Buc-ee’s withdrawing its proposal for a 74,000-square-foot travel center near I-25 and County Line Road in Palmer Lake, Colorado. They withdrew after following an intense community opposition over traffic, water, and, for some, the town’s small-town character. It would’ve been literally minutes from my house and I needed this in my life…and in my neighborhood. So, the people who were against it in Palmer Park can kiss my ass by the way.

These two definitely have their hands full now…and in a beautiful way.

Dylan Marlowe and wife, Natalie, recently welcomed twin boys. They welcomed Case and Huck Marlowe into the world recently in an Instagram post on Monday, March 2, 2026. Dylan and wife said in a joint post, “thank you Lord for this double blessing, our hearts and laps are full.”

Congrats to the Marlowe’s on becoming a family of four!

A smaller version of the famous Sphere venue could be headed to Nashville.

The Sphere Entertainment Company is reportedly in early discussions with local business leaders about bringing the venue to Music City. The company is exploring ways to expand to other cities too. And now it appears that Nashville is one of the places being considered. It’s known as “Music City USA”, so it would make absolute sense to have a Sphere venue.

The idea being discussed would be a scaled down version of the original venue. It would still feature the same high-tech visuals, but it would be smaller and designed to fit the Nashville market.

The conversations are still in the early stages, and there’s no official formal plans that have been announced as of yet. But it certainly would change the skyline in Nashville.

Bobby Bones recently interviewed Kelsea Ballerini’s ex-husband Morgan Evans on his podcast. Well, Kelsea’s latest ex-boyfriend, Chase Stokes, made it known he wasn’t a fan.

Chase commented on Bobby’s interview saying, “this is about the most pathetic excuse of masculinity I’ve ever seen. Get [an f*cking] life.” Then deleted it.

Of course that was too late, Bobby saw it, and shared his thoughts. He said, “if you’re gonna come that hard then maybe don’t take it down.” Which I absolutely agree with that too.

He also said Morgan, who’s rarely spoken about the divorce, was kind in his version of things. He also speculated that people who say things like “you’re less masculine” are projecting and could be insecure in their own masculinity.

Bobby added, “I just felt it was weird. Why would you challenge someone’s masculinity? By the way, Morgan Evans is like 6-foot-2 and freaking strapped.”

Morgan and Kelsea split in 2022 after five years of marriage. And, Chase and Kelsea broke up last month by the way.

The really weird part was how Chase Stokes decided to talk crap to Evans by implying…that he’s not masculine? Now despite the fact that Chase deleted his comment, Morgan obviously got wind of it and had a hilarious response that pretty much put an end to any of the “masculinity” debate in an Instagram post.

His caption was priceless…”feeling pretty masculine today. Album out in 2 weeks!”

Last April, Kacey Musgraves had the internet talking after she tweeted the following statement…

“Is it possible to die of horniness? Asking for a friend.”

Is it possible to die of horniness? Asking for a friend.

And now on X, Kacey retweeted her on a tweet from almost a year ago, and she even answered a fan’s question about her sixth studio album, referred to as “KM6” for now.

“Care to share more about KM6?”

Kacey replied with a cow, hinting that she has something up her sleeve…

She also put up some billboards…which fans have obviously spotted that reads…

“Dry spell? Call for a real good time.”

There’s even a phone number listed, and when you call the number, you hear a teaser of what I’m assuming will be the lead single of her hopefully forthcoming album. The lyrics certainly point to the fact that she might be ready to answer her own question when it comes to her aforementioned tweet.

“It’s been a real long 335 days, And the last time, it wasn’t good anyway, I’m so lonely, Lonely with a capital ‘H,’
If you know what I mean…”

When you call the number, you also get a text that says fans are entering the “middle of nowhere”, which could potentially be the name of the song or even the actual album.

“Hi, it’s Kacey. Click the link before you lose service… Welcome to the Middle of Nowhere.”

Needless to say…this is genius marketing.

They obviously had an incredibly successful, sold-out inaugural event in 2025, the “Music City Rodeo” will be back at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena May 28th through the 30th.

The “Music City Rodeo” will run across all three days, and each night will be capped off by can’t-miss performances from some of the biggest names in country music, which include Miranda Lambert, Charley Crockett and Jon Pardi. The Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) is returning to Downtown Nashville filled with broncs, barrel racing, team roping, and country music y’all.

This is the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi and the largest in the entire Southeastern Circuit, and it’s important to note that the 2026 “Music City Rodeo” has been designated as an official Cinch Playoff Series Rodeo.

This means this designation will undoubtedly bring in the top rodeo stars like Rocker Steiner, Stetson Wright, Hailey Kinzel, and well over 30 other World Champions to compete in the “Music City Rodeo”. There was well over $292,000 in prize money was paid out in last year’s inaugural event. This year there will be over $330,000 up for grabs. So, there’s a lot of money on the line when “Music City Rodeo” comes to Nashville at the end of May.

Last year’s “Music City Rodeo” sold out all three days…so you’ll might want to make sure you to get your tickets here before they’re gone.

Tickets are on sale now!! Join us May 28-30 for three nights of PRCA ProRodeo action and full arena concerts from @mirandalambert, @CharleyCrockett, and @JonPardi… Lock in your seats while they're still available! pic.twitter.com/n8N4mDEtop

John Rich wasn’t having it.

There’s a lot of money in music memorabilia and celebrity autographs. If you look on eBay…you’ll see hundreds of thousands of autographs for sale. And you’ll see some going for big money and others…are not selling for much.

This one autograph seeker posted a video of one half of Big & Rich turning down the man’s request outside of the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. John was apparently thinking the guy was planning on selling it on eBay as he told the guy…

“No, I don’t sign guitars you’re going to sell on eBay.”

The guy tried to relate to John, by telling him he was a “patriot” like him, but John didn’t care about that at all as he told him…

“It’s going on eBay… I know what eBay.com is and I see it on there all the time.”

John was obviously suspicious of the guy holding a cheap guitar that was still in the packaging and he insisted that he only signs expensive guitars saying…

“I only sign Gibsons… Bring me a Gibson or a Martin and I’ll sign it. I ain’t signing sh*t guitars.”

John was pretty nice to the guy despite refusing to sign his guitar. And he even assured him that he’d still be able to make some money without his signature in the guitar.

“You’ll get some other stars on it, you’ll be able to make some money on it.”

John ultimately stood by his words to not sign the guys guitar and parted ways without signing it too. So, if you want a guitar signed by John, it better be a Gibson or a Martin.

The Faster Horses Festival in Michigan has been canceled for a second year in a row. 

Now there’s no official word if the festival is gone for good, but seeing how it’s been for two in row is not a good sign. The official statement just thanks fans and artists for their support over the years…and that’s it…with not further explanation.

It said, “Faster Horses Music Festival will not return in 2026. While the festival will not place this year, we are proud of the memories created and the impact on live music in Michigan. We remain grateful to the fans, artists, partners, and the Michigan International Speedway community who have supported Faster Horses over the years.”

The last time the festival went down was July of 2024, and the headliners were Hardy, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson. Hopefully we see it come back.
