Billie Eilish really thought she was saying something poetic and intelligent. But in reality…she was saying something stupid again.

Aaron Watson is the king of responding to people on the internet in country music. That’s also the reality I’m proud to be alive in to witness. Billie Eilish made some statement regarding eating meat and how if do you obviously don’t love animals.

Billie’s exact words in a recent interview were , “I love all animals so much and I eat meat. You just.. they’re just.. you can’t do both, sorry. You can eat meat, go for it. You can love animals, but you can’t do both”. Well she actually sang the last few words of “you can’t do both”.

Regardless of what she said…it was more stupid shit from the Eilish camp for me. Luckily Aaron Watson responded with a video on social media with the caption, “@billieeilish but can we “inherently” chew on puppy ears? Girl you are silly…”. And he further commented in the video, “also, ‘Inherently’ 63% of animals eat other animals so…”.

Dolly Parton canceled her Las Vegas residency because of health concerns. She said in an update on her socials that she’s responding well to meds and treatments, but it makes her too “swimmy-headed” (lightheaded) to perform.

Dolly said, “I have great doctors and I’m doing really well, and they assure me that everything I have is treatable, so I’m going with that. I’ve told you before that I’ve always had problems with my kidney stones. 

Lord, they dig more stones out of me a year than the rock quarry in Rockwood, Tennessee.”

Dolly also said her doctors are trying to strengthen her immune and digestive systems. She compared herself to a classic car that’s being restored. She’s been keeping busy though and is still recording music. 

She said, “I’m working hard on getting my museum and my hotel open in Nashville later this year. And I am spending a lot of time writing and reworking on my Broadway musical.  It’s called ‘Dolly, a True Original Musical’.”

Country music is alive and doing very well y’all.

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen’s duet, “I Can’t Love You Anymore”, is the first song by two country artists in “lead roles” to debut in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. The single literally starts at #7 on the Hot 100 dated May 9th too.

Regardless of the debut position, it’s the first Hot 100 Top 10 by two country artists in lead roles, since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton did it over 40 years ago with “Islands in the Stream”.

Of course, there have been other country duets in the Top 10, but those were technically “features”, like “I Remember Everything” by Zach Bryan featuring Kacey Musgraves.

And in other related Ella news…her song, “Choosin’ Texas”, also scored an eighth week atop the Billboard Hot 100.

Kacey Musgraves all dressed up to do some personal shopping for herself.

She dressed up as an armadillo to shop for her new album, “Middle of Nowhere”, in Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Target. If you’re going to shop…you have to hit up all of the stores.

When she asked a worker in Walmart if they had her new album, the worker responded, “I don’t recognize that name”…but held her phone like she was filming?

At one point during the filming of this armadillo film Kacey even laid down in the middle of a road and played dead. Well done on the whole shopping in an armadillo costume. It was perfect…and classy. Of course that’s the Texas upbringing talking here.

Emails, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook is where all scams…I mean good relationships start.

A woman called into the “Big D and Bubba” show to say she met Riley Greenon Facebook. They started texting 20 to 30 times a day, and she’s convinced they’ll be getting married soon.

She swears she’s actually talked to him on the phone, too, so it’s obviously not a scam. Especially since he hasn’t asked for money…yet.

Luke Combs is having another fantastic week in his career.

He has officially become the first artist in history to replace themselves at #1 at US Country Radio (Mediabase) on two separate occasions. The first time he replaced himself on the chart was back in 2024 with Riley Green when “Different ‘Round Here” was replaced with “Where The Wild Things Are”.

Now here we are in 2026 and “Days Like These” was just replaced with his now 22nd number one song, “Sleepless In A Hotel Room”. Additionally, the latter two songs make him the first to achieve self-replacement with solo songs.

Congrats to Luke on this nice chart achievement and I’m sure the suites in Nashville who thought he wouldn’t make in country music feel like jackasses by now.

It was a big in Dallas, Texas on May 1, 2026.

Kid Rock launched his 2026 “Freedom 250 Tour” on May 1st in Dallas, Texas, with a high-profile opening featuring a video cameo from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and military helicopters. Which makes since considering it’s a tour honoring our country’s 250 years.

The tour celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence with shows spanning from April to June 2026. Openers include Brantley Gilbert, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum and Big & Rich on select dates.

Now with the of the news of country music outlaw legend, David Allan Coe, passing away Kid posted a note on his socials talking about their friendship.

He said…

“Spent so much time with David over the years, touring, writing songs and just hanging out. I knew a side of Dave most people never got to see. He was such a deep thinker, kind and about as real as an outlaw can get!

He did not give a damn what anyone thought of him. Always loved this cover of ‘Only God Knows Why’ he recorded on his tour bus. He also wrote ‘Single Father’ for me after spending a few days at my Ortonville, MI home years ago with me and my son. I still have piles of songs I need to dig up we wrote together.”

RIP David Allan Coe – Spent so much time with David over the years, touring, writing songs and just hanging out. I knew a side of Dave most people never got to see. He was such a deep thinker, kind and about as real as an outlaw can get! He did not give a damn what anyone thought…

Then on Friday night in Dallas, Texas, Kid paid tribute to DAC on night one of his “Freedom 250 Tour” with a cover of “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”. It would’ve been David Allan Coe approved too.

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.”
