Besides maybe Dolly herself flying down from heaven and making an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage, I truly can’t think of a better way to round out her special tribute night than with Carrie Underwood performing “I Will Always Love You.” It takes a lot of guts, not to mention some seriously impressive vocals, to do Dolly’s 1974 hit justice. Famously re-recorded by Whitney Houston, the song has become one of those classics that only a select few artists can truly pull off. And when it comes to country music, there aren’t many singers capable of delivering the…

As if 2026 couldn’t get any heavier, last night the shocking passing of legendary artist John Anderson shook the country music world and beyond. At just the age of 71, the “Swingin'” singer and neotraditional staple sadly passed on October 21, just a couple of months before his upcoming birthday, December 13 (born in 1954). The Apopka, Florida, native, married for over 40 years, had also just attended the Country Music Hall of Fame’s latest induction this past weekend, adding to the unexpected timing of this news. Late last night, his family announced the official tragic statement on his social…

Somebody get the popcorn and cooler full of cold beers packed because Zach Top is headed to the big screen. With its impressive grandeur and breathtaking Colorado backdrop, the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre has become a go-to spot for artists looking to film a live concert special. And considering Zach Top played two back-to-back sold-out shows at the venue last September, it only makes sense that he’d follow suit. Top’s momentous two-night run from September 28 and 29 in 2025 is officially being combined into his first-ever concert film. Featuring a massive 30-song set across both shows, adding to the…

Glad to see Jon Pardi’s divorce hasn’t killed his good spirits completely. In fact, I think the 41-year-old “Dirt On My Boots” singer is on quite the post-breakup redemption arc. He’s back to vlogging his tour stops, constantly posting updates on his Instagram stories, bought a new puppy, and is back in the gym working on his fitness journey. Don’t worry, Pardi, we haven’t let the consistent Pilates classes and gym sessions go unnoticed. But in case you haven’t been as tuned in to his recent social media antics, Pardi decided to show off his shirtless bod to the fans,…

As the self-proclaimed guru of bad self-tans…I fear it’s my public duty to step in and speak on Tim McGraw’s new viral look. I’m not sure why the 29 No.1 hit-maker pulled up to his Country Music Hall of Fame induction looking like a 17-year-old southern girl attending her first prom, but fans were not letting it go unnoticed. Sunday evening, the “Live Like You Were Dying” singer celebrated a career-defining moment as he was finally inducted into the CMHOF by none other than Alabama’s Randy Owen. The night was filled with dedicated performances from Parker McCollum, Lady A, and…

Safe to say, Megan Moroney has got to be feeling like she’s on cloud 9 these past few days. Sorry to everyone who just rolled their eyes egregiously at that painfully obvious pun, but nonetheless, it couldn’t be more fitting. The recently turned 29-year-old not only made history by becoming one of the first country artists to perform during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show but also followed her viral 3-song medley with a surprise guest appearance at Kacey Musgraves’ night 2 Los Angeles show. If you happened to tune into any of Moroney’s press interviews surrounding the release of her…
