We’re COUNTRY and NEVER apologize for it
This is how you know you have too much money. And at least her horses are well travelled.
Shania Twain took her horses with her on the road…and even across the sea.
Shania opened for Harry Styles’ on his London dates. She said, “I ride in my pajamas in the mornings, just barefoot. It’s just a great escape. It takes some planning…or when in London, ride in Hyde Park.”
his last album, “I’m The Problem”, was released May 16, 2025. Which has done him well to say the least.
So, it’s time for some new music. And Morgan Wallen is doing his part in giving fans a little taste of what’s coming. Morgan is fact releasing a new song on Friday (7/24/26) called “Been by Now”.
He’s been teasing it his socials, and he performed it live for the first time on Saturday (7/18/26) in Maryland.
Willie Nelson is releasing a new memoir in November in honor of his wife Annie. It’s called “The Last Leaf: Reflections on Late-Life Creativity and My Longest Love Affair”.
He said, “the backbone of this book is a love story. The heroine is my wife, Annie, who kept me alive when I was sure I was gone. COVID nearly got me [in 2022]. I was hurting so bad I wanted out. But Annie wouldn’t let me go.
The years I’ve lived since then are because of Annie. And so is this book.”
Willie has definitely lived a lot years of life and this book should be a good read.
Gavin Adcock is in the giving spirit after being on the road with Morgan Wallen the past couple of years.
He actually got a special gift for Morgan as a thank you for having him on tour as an opener. It’s a taxidermied creation that is pretty much nightmare fuel. And after seeing it…I can’t get it out of my head.
He said, “I been calling this thing right here Roofus. It’s a buck ass mount made into a little critter, with some eagle’s claws, some turkey feet, and some bullhorns on the top.”
Gavin hasn’t shared what Morgan thought of his gift. I’m sure he loved it…I mean hopefully. As they say. It’s the thought that counts in gift giving.
The year of this woman continues on.
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” tops Luminate’s midyear songs report with 629,000 streams. Her song “Be Her” also made the Top 10 list at #4 with about 312,000 streams.
And speaking of Ella, she’s also the face of American Eagle’s summer campaign.
She posted a photo in Daisy Dukes and said, “this July, AE is supporting Bring Change to Mind to help create more connected, supportive, and stigma-free conversations around mental health.”
I’m not sure if this tour is actually ever leaving Indianapolis, but there are more tour dates for this man’s tour now.
Garth Brooks added two more dates to his “Blame It All On My Roots Arena Tour” stop in Indianapolis. His new opening night will now be August 20th, and he added a matinee performance on August 23rd.
There has to be additional cities for his tour coming soon right? Of course we’ll keep you posted when we hear of more zip codes hosting Garth and his tour.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo recently finalized their divorce.
A source says Jelly is, “a very generous person by nature and wanted to make sure the divorce was handled fairly and respectfully.”
They also added that he’s doing really well and he’s been focused on his tour and his health. They said, “he’s in a good place.”
The exact details aren’t known, but they’ll be splitting things like homes, cars, and an aircraft. Jelly will also make a one-time, confidential lump-sum payment to Bunnie, so there will be no alimony claims made in court.
Their agreement also includes a provision to prohibit them from trash-talking the other.
Bunnie seems to be doing well, too. On Friday she posted a tour of her new home.
This man has had a hell of a career.
Darius Rucker is considering retiring in two years. He said, “I’ve been really looking at it, and I played 110 shows last year, I mean, what am I doing?”
He says he still likes making music, but he enjoys being home. And as I get older…home is a beautiful place to be too. So, I completely understand what he’s saying.
He also said , “I’m looking at maybe doing a tour, one more big Hootie thing.”
Megan Moroney was recently asked what the best form of revenge on an ex is. Her answer subtly referenced her song “Who Hurt You?”, which fans suspect is about a fling with Riley Green.
Megan said, “the best form of revenge? I would say probably having an arena full of people scream ‘God, I hate how gross you are,’ every single night. Louder than I could ever imagine.”
She also added that her exes haven’t necessarily tried to get back with her right away after hearing a song about them, but they have months later. And she said, “I honestly think my exes like when I write songs about them. I think it makes them feel special, unfortunately.”
Wishing your friends a happy birthday is the absolute right thing to do.
Lee Brice and Ernest are friends worth having too. Jamey Johnson celebrated his 51st birthday on Tuesday July 14th. So, the Grand Ole Opry helped celebrate his birthday with some friends where him and Tracy Lawrence even performed the TikTok version of “Time Marches On”. Which was definitely needed.
Jamey also got some birthday messages. Lee and Ernest had a birthday that was pure comedy gold. And they went the “disappointing, supportive, sarcastic and flirty” approach video message.
