Lord only knows how drunk you have to be to make a mix-up like this. Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, or for the ladies, Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is pretty much the summation of how you’d expect an overzealous football player to act. While his counterpart, Jason Kelce, takes on the fatherly, mature yet still rambunctious role out of the two brothers, Travis has always tended to be the much more goofy, overgrown-toddler, golden retriever type of guy. Beyond their love for football and their co-hosted New Heights Podcast, there’s one other thing the two brothers have in common:…

Celebrating his influential 30-plus-year career in the country music industry, next month, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will introduce their latest exhibition honoring Kenny Chesney. Presented in partnership with the “American Kids” singer’s Blue Chair Bay Rum, the ‘Living in Fast Forward’ addition will display a range of items displaying Chesney’s “path to stardom, from his early years playing in his university’s bluegrass band to becoming one of the top touring acts of this century.” Officially opening its doors on July 23, regular admission museum-goers will be able to view the exhibit throughout June 2027. Recently inducted…

Over the span of 68 years since Billboard’s debut of the Hot 100, only a handful of country singles have managed to skyrocket to the top of the chart upon their debut. For a song to do so, essentially within just the first week of a singles release, it must accumulate more chart points than any other popular track in the United States alone. These points are calculated each week by pulling data from the songs’ sales, radio airplay, and, in more recent years, streaming to combine a “trade-secret formula” to give each single a final score. Insanely, the first…

Who knew this was even a debate? Somehow, somewhere out there in the world, there are genuinely people who believe that John Denver’s hit, “Take Me Home, Country Roads” (a song that, mind you, repeats “West Virginia” five times) is not actually about the state of West Virginia but rather the western part of Virginia. Leave it to someone on the internet to be a conspiracy theorist even about the 1971 classic tune. If anyone beyond John Denver himself could settle the debate once and for all, it would have to be West Virginia native and massive WVU fan, Charles…

Zach Top is practically making it unbearable not to beg for a full-blown cover album at this point. Mirroring the classic sounds of ’90s country with his own trendy modern-day flair, Top built his career on posting cover videos to Facebook and has kept the tradition alive as his career continues to grow. From “Two Dozen Roses” to “Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her,” the Washington-native can do no wrong and put a glorious spin on just about any song. While Top has a wide discography of his own certified fan favorite tracks, I think he’s finally starting…

Talk about an unlikely friendship. Twenty-four years after being convicted of adult felony robbery charges, Jelly Roll is now partnering with the prosecutor who put him behind bars. One-time juvenile court prosecutor Jim Todd was in for quite the surprise when he received a call from the three-time Grammy award winner whom he sent to juvenile detention in 2002 after the 17-year-old Jason Deford was involved in an armed robbery. DeFord robbed $350 in cash from a man’s and a woman’s house near the Nashville airport. Despite being unarmed himself, he still served one year in prison, followed by a…
