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:

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”.
A woman has been arrested for soiling her entire neighborhood, and it has nothing to do with spring gardening.
A 50-year-old woman in Florida named Alexis Weber was arrested on Tuesday, after she was linked to multiple incidents of defacing by defecation. Local homeowners reported seeing human feces on vehicles, mailboxes, community food pantries, and private yards.
It didn’t take long for people to figure out Alexis was behind all the poop. She was caught on security cameras, and a detective even witnessed her popping a squat in her own yard, in public. It’s unclear why she was doing it.
One homeowner said he was happy that the neighborhood worked together to get to the bottom of it.
He said, “if you call and say, ‘Hey, somebody is ‘feces-ing’ on my car,’ it’s Florida, you’re not going to believe it.”Not sure what he means by that. You shouldn’t be surprised by anything in Florida. I do like the term ‘feces-ing’ though.
