Cardinal rule of buck hunting with Luke Combs: Don’t let him get a hold of gluten beforehand. The country music mega superstar who recently wrapped up his highly successful 2026 My Kinda Saturday Night Tour this past month also so happens to be openly gluten-sensitive. So, for all you gluten-intolerant and celiac-suffering fans out there, you can officially add Combs to the “celebrities, they’re just like us” list alongside Billy Bob Thornton, Zooey Deschanel, Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, and former NFL star Drew Brees, who have all reportedly followed gluten-free diets. Given the fact that Combs shifted to a gluten-free…

Here we go again… Chris Young is making the rounds on social media again, and unfortunately it’s not thanks to a viral song trend or an act of kindness. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some mid 2000’s Chris, but the “Tomorrow” singer doesn’t necessarily hold a current reputation for stellar live performances. A TikTok User captured a snippet of Young “serenading” the crowd at the Concert in the Corn festival this past Saturday, August 29, with his 2015 No.1 hit, “I’m Comin’ Over.” Based on this Wisconsin performance, though, I think Young needs to pack it up and…
I think Boots In The Park might’ve just pulled off THE ultimate festival lineup. The massive New Mexico-based country bash hosted by Activated Events just announced its lead lineup for 2027, returning to Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta Park this May. Following their highly successful 2026 production, this time around the fan-favorite festival will head into its fourth year in the state, kickstarting the weekend of the 14th through 16th by inviting some of country music’s biggest names to the stage. This year, they’re truly embracing the statement, “three generations of country. one legendary weekend,” with an unbeatable list of five massive…
For all y’all trolling Luke Bryan online…keep one eye open at night. Just kidding, the 50-year-old country music staple hasn’t quite yet entered his villain arc to that extent after being blasted for his recent goofy hit “Fish Hunt Golf Drink.” For the most part, he’s actually taken the hate pretty gracefully (except for a few internet clapbacks of his own). Bryan sat down with the one and only Theo Von today for his This Past Weekend podcast, and the combination of those two southern boys went just about how you’d expect it to. The two hour long episode is…
Zach Bryan is catching strays left and right on Gavin Adcock’s 2026 tour. I just know that somewhere in the crowd, a proud parent was hootin’ & hollerin’ after Adcock’s most recent on-stage call-out of the “Pink Skies” singer. And in Adcock’s defense, he himself didn’t spew any slander at Bryan this time around. At this point, you’d think the Adcock-Bryan feud would be a long-gone fence-jumping memory of the past— but nope, the legacy lives on. Around this time last year in September, the rowdy boys went viral after Bryan attempted to hop a barbed-wire fence at the Born…
If this isn’t the definition of a cinematic-level-full-circle moment, then I don’t know what is. Like, c’mon, you can’t tell me that this story isn’t a Disney Channel Original movie in the making. Earlier this month, a high school teacher from the same school Alabama native Ella Langley attended went massively viral thanks to his touching story about how he helped inspire the then-budding country music star. A Hooper Academy legend, history teacher Maury Popwell, aka “Coach Pops,” shared his heartfelt tale with WSFA12 News in Montgomery. While Langley had been singing for most of her life, putting on at-home…
