Last night, May 17, Riley Green and Ella Langley reclaimed their title as the ACM Music Event of the Year winners for the second time in a row, this time around with their 2024 duet, “Don’t Mind If I Do.” The back-to-back feat earned them the title as only the second pair of collaborators to win the category in two consecutive years, joining the likes of husband and wife duo Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The only difference being that McGraw and Hill’s acceptances were surely a lot less drama-filled. Continuing the never-ending saga of the Riley Green Casanova mystery,…

To no one’s surprise, Ella Langley absolutely dominated this year’s 61st annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Within just the first half of the night at MGM Grand Arena, the Alabama native swept the floor, winning both Single and Song of the Year with her smash hit “Choosin’ Texas,” followed by claiming the award for Music Event of the Year alongside duet partner Riley Green with “Don’t Mind If I Do,” and of course, her previously announced win as the Artist-Songwriter of the Year. Continuing her hot streak as 2026’s leading lady in country music and beyond, Langley stepped on…

Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson sharing the same stage needs no explanation– it’s bound to be a great performance. And that’s exactly the case with this 2007 ACM throwback, where the two female powerhouses teamed up for a vocally unmatched duet of Clarkson’s 2005 single, “Because of You.” Now, for those who aren’t highly obsessed with celebrity family trees, it may come as a shock that these two ladies actually share much more than just impeccable voices. While they may not technically be blood-related, Reba was actually Clarkson’s mother-in-law for almost ten years. Back in 1989, Reba married her manager…

With his debut album officially arriving on the country music scene, Braxton Keith announced this afternoon that he’ll be heading out later this year for his coinciding 2026 Real Damn Deal tour. Following a number of viral career builders from “Cozy” to “A Little Bit Closer” and, of course, his most recent trending hit, “I Own This Bar,” Keith delivered his first full-length project of 15 songs today, May 15. Taking these tracks on the road with him, the Texas native will make 12 stops across the country starting on July 25 in Silver Springs, Maryland, and wrapping up with…

Fitting to the promises of its title, Braxton Keith’s debut album is, in fact, the “Real Damn Deal.” The Midland, Texas native further cemented himself today, May 15, as a staple of the rising class of young artists bringing back the classic country sound with a modern twist. Following the viral success of the project’s second single, “I Own This Bar,” to its subsequent ballad “Don’t No More,” Keith set the precedent for a range of honky tonk earworms to heartache-heavy traditional sad songs. While fans right now might be a little more familiar with the 26-year-old songwriter thanks to…

If there’s one thing about Zach Top, he’s going to enjoy an ice-cold beer… in moderation, that is. The country music star never lies, especially about his opinions on alcohol consumption. As a good ole boy from Washington and given the avid beer drinking themes throughout his music, obviously, he’s not one to stray away from having a drink every once in a while. Top couldn’t help but hold back these lifestyle opinions on a recent appearance on Bert Kreischer’s podcast, joking with the comedian that people need to stop taking their alcohol consumption SO far that they feel like…
