This past weekend was essentially the ultimate country music crossover event of the century, with all of the genre’s biggest stars gathering in Nashville for one of the most iconic festival events of the year. Practically every major artist was in town for the 2025 CMA Fest, making for countless opportunities to collaborate, and there were certainly some standout performances. On Saturday night, June 7, the third day of the festival, two country music powerhouses came together for a performance that perfectly captured the spirit of what country music is all about. Wynonna Judd, legendary 1980s icon and one-half of…

Long before the internet-breaking, shaved-head Morgan Wallen era, there was the questionable dangly earring-wearing Wallen era. In case you’ve also erased it from your memory, Wallen used to sport a gold cross earring out of his left ear around 2019, in between the transition of his 2018 debut album If I Know Me and the 2021 release of Dangerous.  It was an iconic look at the time for the Tennessee native who was rocking a grungier country-rock look alongside the classic mullet. There are certainly some mixed opinions about the style, but one thing is for sure: the story behind…

The original ‘Redneck Woman’ herself, Gretchen Wilson, is speaking out to clear the air about the misconstrued definition of her namesake. Over the years, the word has sparked a slew of negative connotations, but Wilson is here to remind us where it truly comes from and what it really means.

Anyone who listens to country music knows that the term goes hand in hand with the genre. Originally coined…

Fresh off the release of their acoustic album The Talco Tapes, more than midway through their headlining tour, and recently nominated for Best New Duo or Group at the 2025 ACM Awards, Treaty Oak Revival is on a record high. But you’d never guess any of that by looking at lead singer Sam Canty’s truck. Given their affluence and fame, many expect their favorite artists to have the best of the best. In country music, this leads to the assumption that you’ve gotta have a lifted, souped-up truck. However, Canty pretty much proved that stereotype false on a recent appearance…

There’s no denying that being an artist in the spotlight comes with constant scrutiny. The job title requires being either on stage or active on social media 24/7, leading to a nonstop, relentless level of criticism. This reality is something Priscilla Block knows all too well, and it’s the basis for her new song, “Couldn’t Care Less.” Earlier today, May 21, Block shared a preview of the track on TikTok, opening up about the struggles she faces as an artist. Though rooted in her personal experiences, the song explores themes that are universally relatable. The song centers around her typically…

The speculations can finally be put to rest about Ella Langley’s love life because she made it very clear that she is not here to play any games.  During a recent TikTok live, Langley chatted with fans while getting glammed up (her classic bangs set in a curler, of course, too). For those unfamiliar with these iconic chats, Langley is the queen of get-ready-with-me, unfiltered lives with fans on both TikTok and Instagram. Every time she goes live, it literally feels like a FaceTime with your favorite big sister. During the session, she answered a few fan questions from the…
