Hillbilly LiveLeave a Comment on Jelly Roll Broke His Silence About His Divorce With Bunnie Xo On Stage In Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Jelly Roll and podcaster Bunnie Xo finally broke their silence following the news earlier this week of their divorce. 

While onstage at the Saratoga Springs, N.Y., stop of his “Little ASS Shed Tour” on Thursday, Jelly Roll took time to address online speculation about their split.  

“I wasn’t going to talk about this tonight … but the internet is a liar, too. It’s the only time, and the only city I’m going to talk about this. So, break your camera phones now.

Me and my wife are best friends. We will always be best friends.”

He added that “nobody cheated on nobody,” though that contradicts an interview he gave last year, in which he admitted to having had an affair. Of course he thanked Bunnie Xo for their “incredible” 10-year marriage too.

In other Morgan news, his dad is starting a faith-based segment on his SiriusXM channel called “Tommy’s Sunday Seven “, which is a seven minute devotional. If Morgan keeps breaking records like this…he might just win an ACM award someday. Maybe.

This One English Soccer Fan Discovered Shiner Bock & Brisket While In Texas For The World Cup: “Love This Beer, Best Beef I’ve Had In My Life”

Hillbilly LiveLeave a Comment on This One English Soccer Fan Discovered Shiner Bock & Brisket While In Texas For The World Cup: “Love This Beer, Best Beef I’ve Had In My Life”

The World Cup in the United States of America is actually proving once again that sports is the great unifier here.

I still remember when all those miserable human beings were worried and bitching about the U.S.A. being one of the three countries (along with Canada and Mexico) hosting the 2026 World Cup? They kept peddling the idea about how racist, violent, terrible and unhospitable Americans are? That’s all been proven to be utterly false now considering all of the hospitality that visitors have been met with.

International World Cup fans from all corners of the world are having an absolute blast here in the good old U.S.A. They’ve been introduced to some our wonders here like Buc-ee’s, Shiner Bock and Texas brisket.

England’s team is staying in Kansas City, Missouri, but a group stage game against Croatia had them and their fans visiting Texas. And it was there in Dallas where one England fan stopped to talk to Fox 4 News, and this man had a lot of good things to say.

He was also wearing one of the biggest hats he could purchase and he kicked off his interview saying…

“I love this beer in this country. It’s really good… the hospitality has been amazing as well.”

The Fox 4 News reporter went on to ask him if he’s been able to dive into the Texas cuisine, and the English soccer fan didn’t hesitate in saying…

“I had Texas barbecue yesterday. I had a lovely bit of brisket. I went fatty, I went to slow bone, picked it up, put the sauce on it, dropped it into my mouth, melted in my mouth. It was absolutely beautiful. It’s the best beef I’ve had in my life.”

He sat down to talk with Tracy Lawrence on his “TL’s Road House” podcast. Jon said, “you know, he’s a West Coast guy too, and it just happens when you sing country music all your life, you’re gonna have a little bit of twang, that’s just how it is.”

In other Zach Top news, he recently confirmed he’s releasing a few new songs at the end of the summer and a new album next spring. So, there is that.

Disney is celebrating America’s 250th birthday with a star-studded concert special out of Nashville. And it’s called “Disney Celebrates America: Nashville’s Star-Spangled Bash”.

The lineup includes Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, Brothers Osborne, Clint Black, Lauren Daigle, and Little Big Town. There’s also non-country artists like Nick Jonas, Sublime, Ne-Yo, Boyz II Men, and The All-American Rejects. I mean it’s not the real Sublime…and I don’t know which one of their songs is really suitable for children…but it should be a fine family friendly show.

Ryan Seacrest has been tapped to host. The special will also include one of the largest fireworks and drone shows in the U.S. and will be set to a live performance by the Nashville Symphony.   

It airs live on the Fourth of July at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC, Disney+, the ESPN app, Freeform, FX, Hulu and NatGeo.

Travis Kelce Actually Mixed Up Jimmy Buffett With Warren Buffett to His Face

Hillbilly LiveLeave a Comment on Travis Kelce Actually Mixed Up Jimmy Buffett With Warren Buffett to His Face

To be fair. This man’s expertise is in football. Not music…but I’m to say I know who Jimmy Buffett is. And God rest his soul.

Travis Kelce shared an embarrassing story about how he once mistook the Jimmy Buffett for business mogul Warren Buffett at a music festival. He said he had too much to drink, and was told that “Buffett” wanted to meet him.

Travis said, “he tells me a story from high school (about) how he picked up the guitar for the first time. I said, ‘No way, Warren Buffett played the guitar?’ And his face went from smiling from ear to ear to not smiling at all.  

“And then he got tapped on the shoulder because he had to sing ‘Margaritaville’.”

There have only been 32 country songs in Billboard history that have been able to hit #1 on the all-genre Hot 100 chart. Now quite a bit of these songs fall into the “pretend country music category” for me…but that just me.

The first to ever do it was Johnny Horton’s “The Battle of New Orleans” in 1959. Which is a damn fine country song too. I know this cause my mom introduced me to that class song as a kid.

1. “I Knew It, I Knew You”, Taylor Swift 

2. “Choosin’ Texas”, Ella Langley

5. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, Shaboozey

6. “I Had Some Help”, Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen

8. “I Remember Everything”, Zach Bryan featuring Kacey Musgraves

9. “Rich Men North of Richmond”, Oliver Anthony

10. “Try That in a Small Town”, Jason Aldean

11. “Last Night”, Morgan Wallen

Brett Eldredge Is Married To A Mysterious Bride

Hillbilly LiveLeave a Comment on Brett Eldredge Is Married To A Mysterious Bride

Brett Eldredge is officially a married man now y’all.

He shared the news with two photos of his mysterious bride, along with a snippet of an unreleased song.

He said, “Over the last several years, life and my perception of it have changed dramatically. I met an amazing woman who truly loves me for me, way beyond the fella with a microphone.

Someone who’s just as goofy as I am. Someone who loves weird barefoot dance-offs in the living room, looking up at the night sky and wondering what lies beyond what we cannot see. Someone I can have rolling belly laughs with, cry with, and go through life’s tilt-a-whirl of emotions with. Someone who inspires me with her big, beautiful heart.

Along the way, we got married.”
