We’re COUNTRY and NEVER apologize for it
Man’s best friend is showing the world the best diet.
Move over ozempic. This is where you eat the smell of the food and not the actual food. German Shepherds and dogs in general are special creatures to say the least.
If it’s okay for Stella Lefty to get #1 song on country radio copying other artists songs…and I love Stella by the way…then this parody of “Boston” is a hit.
Now I say that considering there’s also a lot of garbage on country radio and this parody is in way shape or form a kid friendly song, but it’s catchy. It’s explicit adult content and vulgar, but it could be nice to hear between the “pretend country music” that they play on mainstream country radio to be honest.
I believe this parody is called “Run A Back To Boston”…but I could be wrong.
It’s hard to imagine candy corn getting more divisive, but this could do it. There’s now a candy corn…beer ladies and gentlemen.
So, the fighting begin. Shock Top has unveiled a new “Candy Corn Wheat“…a limited-edition beer they’ve created with Spirit Halloween. It’s a 5% ABV, so yeah, this is definitely an adult thing.
They say it’s already available at “select beverage retailers,” and it sounds like there’s a chance it could become a regular…seasonal thing if it sells.
As for the flavor, someone who tried it said, “the sweetness is surprisingly restrained while still very much tasting like a wheat beer. The candy corn flavor is definitely present, but it’s more of a little ‘Halloween flourish’ than something beating you over the head with a plastic pumpkin bucket full of sugar.”
In the comments, people shared some thoughts…
One said, “that is diabolical.” Someone else said, “bro, I’m so ready to try this,” while one solid beer drinker added, “I neeed to try it.” God bless them too.
And there were also plenty of grimacing and vomiting GIFs that made it abundantly clear where they stood. The candy corn hate is real y’all.
Someone is asking for them to make a non-alcoholic version . . . and someone else said, “So sick!” It’s unclear if they said that because they thought this was awesome, or if they’d just drank a bottle and weren’t feeling great.
The other part of the collab is that Spirit Halloween’s website is carrying a “Wedgehead Costume,” featuring Shock Top’s mascot. It’s priced at $70. I know…that’s f*cking expensive.
To be clear…neither of these will be available at Spirit. The costume is an online-only exclusive (possibly because it’s a beer mascot). And as for the Candy Corn beer…it’s at select stores that sell alcohol. Obviously.
I love this news.
This should’ve happened years ago…but it’s better late than never. Neal McCoy was finally invited to become the newest official member of the Grand Ole Opry on September 22, 2026.
Pam Tillis surprised Neal on stage at the Grand Ole Opry House during the special “Opry 100 Honors Charley Pride” show. Charley Pride’s widow, Rozene Pride, joined the emotional, full-circle moment on stage too. Charley actually helped jumpstart Neal’s career in the 1980s by taking him on tour as an opening act. Neal literally learned from one of the best.
Neal deserves this invite due to his love, respect and representation of country music. Not to mention his love for the country. He does the pledge of allegiance live on his Facebook ever morning and he’s been doing that for years now. The man is a country music saint to me.
An official induction date has not yet been announced…but as soon we know…we will share that date.
Riley Greenmade his coaching debut on “The Voice” Monday night…and he’s doing whatever he can to build his team.
The competition is on now. He and Kelly Clarkson playfully fought to win over a teenage contestant who auditioned with Travis Tritt’s “Anymore”. Kelly pointed how she and her team has winners. And that’s because her team has won the show before. Which was a hell of a sell.
When the contestant told Riley that his favorite song of his is “My Way”, Riley got out of his chair, got his guitar, made Adam Levine hold his hat and went onstage. He played guitar while the hopeful contestant sang a few lines. Of course, he chose Team Riley.
I almost feel bad for Team Kelly. Team Riley is here to win y’all.
This was not on my bingo card in 2026.
Dolly Parton’s Estate fired her nephew Bryan Seaver, who was the head of her security. He’s the same one who broke the news of her passing. The Estate was also granted a temporary restraining order against him.
They allege that he threatened to smear her legacy and made violent threats toward her employees. He also told Dolly’s entertainment attorney, “I’m not an entertainment person. I’m a killer.'”
This is sounding more like a movie in the making. I mean Bryan called himself an international arms dealer and mercenary. Who in the hell is this man and why in the hell was he allowed to tell the world that Dolly passed away?
If you’re wondering how to channel Patsy Cline, Miranda Lambert showed us how to.
Miranda released the video for “Two Things Can Be True” on September 18, which is a standout classic country heartbreaker from her studio album, “Crisco”.
The song leans heavily into a vintage, classic Patsy Cline-inspired sound. It features a lush, old-school arrangement built around strings and a prominent pedal steel guitar. It’s that classic Nashville sound.
The lyrics are what country music is about. It’s about painful relationship where affection and emotional distance exist at the same time. It describes a partner who’s all about commitment…but looks completely checked out.
My prayers have been answered and it’s really damn good to be Ella Langley too.
Ella’s song, “Choosin’ “Texas”, is officially the longest-leading #1 hit in Billboard’s HOT 100 history as of this week (9/20/26). It was written by Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor. And there was a kangaroo involved as well…but that’s a different story.
The song has now spent a record-breaking 23rd week at #1, passing up Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” And that news alone fills my country music heart.
You can also take a look at the longest-leading #1 hits of all time here.
Cody Johnson officially released the fan-inspired music video for “Take Me Back (Leave Me There)”, from his 2026 album, “Banks of the Trinity”, on September 17, 2026.
It’s being dubbed as the “COJO Nation Edition,” the project features a compilation of personal memories, photos, and videos submitted by his fans. After Cody put out a call for submissions, over 17,000 clips were actually sent in over just a few days.
While the song itself was originally written about a deeply personal romantic memory of Cody’s, the final video expands that sentiment into a celebration of life’s best, unforgettable moments shared by his community.
It’s a nice twist for a video to a hell of a song.
As a kid who grew up on country music and southern rock…I welcome this project. If it’s really happening of course.
Apparently, Carrie Underwood is thinking about putting out a rock album. At least according to TMZ, and she’s been getting guidance from none other than Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose.
Carrie has loved and covered rock songs for years, so this is nothing new. But she’s never put out rock music of her own.
She even joined Guns N’ Roses this past weekend in Atlanta…and on tour dates in 2023. She also sang with Axl at Stagecoach in 2022. She’s got the voice to sing literally anything too. Don’t worry though, she’s not leaving the country music world. Next year, she’s set to headline the Barefoot Country Music Fest in New Jersey.
