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…

If I had a dime for every time Zach Top has been compared to artists like Alan Jackson… The Washington native has quickly solidified himself as the face of the neo-traditional country revival. A majority of people have fallen in love with him thanks to the fact that his music sounds like something you would flip your radio to on a ’90s Bob Kingsley countdown. Not to mention the never-ending goofy lore that fans joke he’s the “Chattahoochie” singer’s long-lost son. While that rumor has certainly been shut down by both Jackson and Top, fans continue to draw likenesses, pretty…

Everybody’s got to start somewhere, and for Ella Langley, that was playing gigs in dive bars and covering Randy Houser songs from her bedroom. As the 27-year-old Alabama native continues to dominate the country world and beyond with the unstoppable success of her sophomore album, Dandelion, it becomes increasingly mind-blowing to see where she was in her career just a few years ago. As of today, her lead October 2025 single “Choosin’ Texas” has spent a whopping nine weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, and you’ll be pretty hard-pressed not to find her face plastered all over your feed. However,…
