Dylan Scott and his son are doing the Lord’s work out on the road.

When you’re a parent you’ll find that your kid…or kids like to be included in things you do. Dylan’s son has been seen on stage with his dad at a number of shows over the summer in 2026. I’ve seen quite a bit of videos on socials that show Dylan’s boy getting actual dollars given to him on stage by people in the audience.

This video on Dylan’s socials is really touching though. Mainly because I’m “Team Coors/Shiner” (Coors Banquet, Coors Light…and Shiner are damn delicious)…as it’s the Lord’s water to me.

Dyal Scott has his boy handing cold Coors Lights at his show in this video. And I don’t mean to get ahead of myself here…but this what saints do.

Kacey Musgraves just released the music video for her new song “Mexico Honey”…and her grandma is not a fan.

Kacey has previously joked that Nana wasn’t a fan of songs like “Dry Spell”.  She said that she skipped that video altogether. But this time, Kacey’s manager is stirring the pot by dropping a link to the “Mexico Honey” video into a family group chat.

And Nana’s review was short and sweet. She said, “this song will never be on my favorite list!”

Some critics are tough. Especially grandma…the can be the toughest of them all. Mainly because they have strong morals.

This is America’s real sport y’all.

NASCAR is celebrating America’s 250th birthday with a new three-part docuseries called “NASCAR Americana”. It’s being produced by Peyton Manning and his Omaha Productions…and it’s premiering August 9th on USA Network.

The series explores the sport from its moonshine-running roots to its place as a major part of American culture.  The episodes feature stories and interviews with Richard Petty, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Darius Rucker and many more.

His family and estate have up to two years from the announcement date to schedule the official star placement ceremony.

Megan Moroney was recently spotted hanging out with U.S. soccer star Christian Pulisic. 

They were at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Nashville, and of course fans are now in the assuming position. The two have some history already, as they follow each other on Instagram and Christian previously went to one of Megan’s concerts with his cousin.

Right now, there’s no indication they’re anything more than friends, but they were seen in Whiskey Row’s VIP area. It seems whatever man Megan hangs out with always makes news.

For anyone who didn’t follow this year’s World Cup, Christian was one of the biggest stars of the U.S. men’s national team. Mainly because he’s the guy with the Captain America nickname. They’ve been calling him that for a few years too.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a sports personality released a country music album? Well, you’re about to find out. Pat McAfee has officially announced his debut country album.

It’s called, “The Diary of a Polarizing Figure”…and it’ll be released on August 14th.

The former Indianapolis Colts punter and host of “The Pat McAfee Show” has been teasing the project for a while, and now it’s finally becoming a reality. But one of the best moments from the announcement came courtesy of Luke Combs. After seeing the news, Luke commented on the post and said, “not calling me on this?  Unforgiveable.”

Pat answered back with a few laughing emojis and clarified there are actually no featured artists on the record. But Ernest did help him with songwriting.

When you have two night stops to play in every city in their respective stadiums…this is not surprising.

Morgan Wallen’s “Still The Problem Tour” is on track to make more than $500 million in gross revenue from its 23-show run. If those numbers hold, it will set a new record as the highest-grossing country tour of all time.

And it would be the only country tour ever to cross the half-billion-dollar mark. What a hell of a nice problem to have from your tour.

Morgan has just a handful of dates remaining before wrapping up his 2026 tour in Philadelphia on August 1st.

Morgan Wallen's "Still The Problem Tour" is estimated to gross a staggering $500m from 22 shows in 2026 (via @HITSDD)

This would put it far into the lead for highest grossing tour in the USA for 2026

Woody Harrelson is producing a documentary on the legendary music venue, Armadillo World Headquarters, in Austin, Texas. It’ll be about its rise, cultural impact, and its legacy.

The venue saw some amazing talent over the years. It welcomed artists like Willie Nelson, Jerry Garcia, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, and Talking Heads.

Woody said, “The Armadillo wasn’t just a music venue.  It was where all kinds of worlds came together under one roof.  Careers got started there, genres mixed, and made people feel like they belonged.”

Walker and Rucker sound and look completely different to me…but that’s just me. I also have eyes and ears. And that helps in knowing some things too.

ESPN college football analyst Darius Walker received a free hotel upgrade after he was mistaken for Darius Rucker. He joked about it in a post on his socials saying, “apparently there’s another famous Darius…and today we both won.”

Mr. Rucker even commented on the video of the experience and said, “you’re welcome!!  Hahhahahahhaha.”
