Stella Lefty has officially made it to prime-time TV— aka the update desk on Saturnday Night Live. Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a good SNL skit here and there, but it’ll never fail to amaze me how long internet trends take to finally surface on the hit late-night comedy show. A prime example? Colin Jost and his skit co-star Veronika Slowikowska taking a jab at Stella Lefty’s “plagiarism allegations.” The NBC show shared an un-aired clip today that didn’t make it onto the show last Saturday, August 26, where Jost invites Veronika, who portrays “Thefy”— I mean Lefty—…

Casey, a New Jersey native raised on country music, graduated from the University of Delaware with a BA in Communication and minors in Journalism, English, and Advertising. With her strong journalism background and love for country music, it was only natural for her to start writing about the genre she’s most passionate about. She has been contributing to Country Chord since January 2025. A quick look at her playlists reveals favorites like Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, ERNEST, Zach Top, and Turnpike Troubadours.
Currently kicking and screaming over the fact that I could’ve easily cleared $6,000 off the Jeopardy! board last night, yet every contestant somehow fumbled the bag. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more passionate about a Jeopardy! category than I did last night when, sandwiched between trivia about business and finance history and gem knowledge, the show honored the legendary late country music icon Dolly Parton with a category of her very own. And look, I get it— we all have our strengths and areas of expertise…But the fact that not one person on that panel seemed to know a…
Megan Moroney officially has a new title to add to her ever-growing collection of accolades. But unfortunately for the pink-loving Georgia star, she’s already well aware of how some people are going to view the accomplishment. At just 28 years old, Moroney has spent the year traveling the world, selling out arenas and building a fiercely devoted fan base of “emo cowgirls” who essentially participate in group therapy every night on her Cloud 9 Tour, screaming back every word to her diary-like hits. Hence why, as the “Tennessee Orange” singer prepares to wrap up the final European stop of her…
I’m only slightly butt-hurt I didn’t get an invite to the “Choosin’ Texas” celebration party last night. Especially since I account for about 75% of the song’s streams nearly a year after its October 2025 release— but I digress. Congrats to Miss Ella Langley, who got to celebrate the monumental milestone yesterday evening in lieu of not just becoming the record holder for the longest-running No.1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, but further extending the record to a whopping 24 weeks. Rallying together some of her close friends, industry buddies, and of course those who helped make the accomplishment possible, Langley…
Turning to social media for a non-music-related message, Lady A’s Charles Kelley sat down with his wife Cassie today to share an unfortunate health update with his fans. Sitting in front of the camera in their Nashville home with his wife of 17 years wrapped around his arm, Kelley announced, “Just wanted to give a quick update on some health issues I’m dealing with.” He continued, noting that he had endured a couple of “random rib fractures,” which led to a few different blood tests. Per one of the most recent panels, the doctors discovered that Kelley has a rare…
I know it’s not even 2027 yet, but I have a good feeling Gulf Coast Jam is about to be one of the best weekends of the year. And luckily for fans, Country Chord has an opportunity to get in on the fun with FOUR tickets to give away. This means you and three friends could very well find yourselves partying it up on the Panhandle Coast with an absolutely stacked lineup of country music staples in store. Returning for its 15th year in June, this time around the Panama City Beach, Florida-based fest will welcome to the stage none…
