Post Malone announced some upsetting touring news. Especially if you were planning on going to his “Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2”.

Posty said that he was pushing back the start of his “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with Jelly Roll by canceling the first month of shows including the opening night in El Paso, Texas as well as stops at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas…Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana…Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama…Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida…and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi have all been canceled.

In a statement posted to his Instagram, Posty said that he would be pushing back the start of the tour to focus on finishing up his upcoming double album…

“Looking at the upcoming schedule after stagecoach, I came to the realization that what we were trying to do, and what’s possible, isn’t really lining up.

Truth is, I promised y’all beautiful people new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts. We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.

That being said, I’m so sorry to the folks who were planning on coming to the few canceled shows. I was looking forward to going nuts with y’all.

Now he’s also been teasing his upcoming double album, “The Eternal Buzz”, over the past month including a post last month revealing that the album would feature a whopping 40 songs.

But I feel this news of the cancellation of the first month of this tour is more of a reflection of the low amount of ticket sales that happened. That’s just my opinion though.

Is Kenny Chesney’s 2005 hit “Beer In Mexico” part of your tailgate party playlist? It is for mine.

Apparently after all this time, Kenny finally revealed that it’s not actually a party song and it’s a bit more introspective than you’d think. So, he’s basically ruining everyone tailgate party by bringing this little fact up now.

He wrote it when he was 36, while out in Cabo San Lucas for Sammy Hagar’s birthday. Kenny said he was looking at how all his friends and people he worked with had families and kids, except for him.

Kenny said, “here I was, 36 years old, I didn’t have that stuff.  But I was building what I was building. And so I went, ‘Wow, maybe I don’t have to figure it all out right now. It’s okay enough to be playing Sammy’s birthday party.’ 

I don’t have to figure out all of that stuff out at the moment. I thank Sammy for that. That was a true, autobiographical song.”

Kacey Musgraves says there very much was beef with Miranda Lambert and it was “grass-fed, grade A.”  But that’s over. And now they have a song together called “Horses and Divorces”.

It’s on Kacey’s new album, “Middle of Nowhere”, that’s out now and its country music song title is simply perfect for a country music song too. I’m actually in love with it too.

Kacey said, “I love this song, because it’s not coming from some contrived place in a writing room. We’ve come together after years of really, honestly, not being friends. 

I had this idea one day when I saw her on Instagram, riding one of her horses, and I thought, ‘Well, I guess we have two things in common: horses and divorces.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, that’s a song.'”

Kacey also announced the album’s tour, which kicks off in August. She said, “I want it to feel like you’re walking into an outdoor rodeo when you’re in there. There’s gonna be dirt, and it’ll feel like you’re outside.”

She has a few album release shows next week in Texas too. She’ll be joined by the Mariachi Brothers, after previously advocating for their release when they were detained by ICE, because Kacey still thinks she’s an activist at times.

The detention of the Mariachi Brothers was obviously a mistake (a wrong place and time situation) or they interfered in an arrest. And interference in any investigation (as in someone being arrested) can get you arrested…because it’s against the law to interfere with law enforcement’s active work. It’s a nice gesture to have to have them play a show with her…but it’s slightly ridiculous to me.

Carrie Underwood and her family live on a 400-acre farm in Tennessee, and she says if they had to, they could be self-sustaining. 

She said, “I love growing things. I love our chickens. We have cows…sheep…donkeys…horses. I have my garden, and it’s a great way to connect with the earth. That’s my contribution to the family.”

In another interview, Carrie also said when she’s not working, her home life is the polar opposite. She said, “I’m like, covered in dirt [and] poop…cleaning up after everybody and barefoot in the kitchen. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Ella Langley has been gaining popularity lately, so much so, that she’s surpassed every country artist on Spotify with one exception…Morgan Wallen. 

She now has 27.6 million monthly listeners, while Morgan has 34.3 million. It was only in February that she ranked #6 with 19.9 million. Now she’s at #2.

As for the rest of the Top 5…Luke Combs is at #3 with 27.3 million, followed by Zach Bryan in fourth with 26.3 million, and Chris Stapleton at #5 with 25.9 million.

On a related note, Ella was asked how she feels about her recent success on the red carpet for Billboard’s Women in Music event.

David Allan Coe fans have new material to look forward to.

His longtime manager, Ken Madson, owns it and wants to release it on September 6th, which would’ve been David’s 87th birthday. The album was recorded in 2017, but got shelved by record executives (because they are assholes like that). Madson says the final album will include previously unreleased songs and new material. 

He also shared that Johnny Knoxville began a documentary about David back in 2018, but it’s up to Johnny if it’ll ever be released. And hopefully he does.

Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan aren’t done playing stadiums in 2026. The pair just announced a co-headlining the “Double Down Tour” which includes baseball and football stadiums across America.

The announcement comes five days after Jason and Luke played for 63,000 fans at Sanford Stadium on the University of Georgia. Taste of Country was on site for the weekend and had the chance to talk to both guys about their friendship and their new duet, “Songs About Us”.

The first three of the four new dates fill a gap in Jason’s “Songs About Us Tour”, which kicks off in Maine this coming July. The final date (Dec. 11) is for now his last touring commitment of the year. Then Luke also has a major tour planned for 2026. His “Word on the Street Tour” is set to begin May 29th in New Hamphshire and runs through September.

The “Double Down Tour” begins August 1, 2026 in Montana with two additional shows that month. The Las Vegas show serves as the final concert of the tour. Gavin Adcock, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, Dasha, Chase Matthew, and Lauren Watkins will open at select shows.

“Songs About Us” is the title-track of Jason’s just-released album. And it’s their second collaboration for them, after “The Only Way I Know” (with Eric Church) in 2012. That song was and is a certified banger too.

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan Double Down Tour Dates:

Aug. 1 — Missoula, Mont. @ Washington-Grizzly Stadium
Aug. 16 — San Diego, Calif. @ Petco Park
Aug. 20 — Washington DC @ Nationals Park
Dec. 11 — Las Vegas, Nev. @ Allegiant Stadium

This is a different way to remember your loved ones.

I know everyone wants to remember their loved ones they way were and to each their own…but what is this? I mean if this is way funerals are going to go…I’m in.

I’m also going to see if my wife can set me up at a beer with a couple of drinks in front of me at the bar, because that’s the least my family can do for me.

Everyone pronounces things differently. Especially depending on where you raised.

Opelousas, Louisiana is obviously not pronounced Like “o-piece-of-loose-a$$”…but this is funny as hell. Of course there are more than likely people who live in the state of Louisiana that pronounce this town like that in life.

People in Louisiana and the South in general have their language. Which is called “Southern English”.
