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.

Some people really know how to ruin the fun, huh? A Treaty Oak Revival fan has gone absolutely viral on TikTok after posting a clip of his truck bed littered with trash and cans and with his back window smashed in. The 18-year-old, who’s garnered nearly a million views on the post, captioned the video, which later shows him being forced to clear the massive mess out, “all because I stayed sober at Treaty Oak.” Like many other viewers, my jaw was on the floor when I saw the absolute monstrosity that was this poor fan’s truck parked outside Cincinnati’s…

While we’re only two weeks into Season 30 of The Voice, like many fans, I’ve been sitting back and patiently waiting for someone to make the obvious joke about Riley Green’s rumored love triangle drama. After Green inadvertently added fuel to the rumors surrounding him and Megan Moroney by teasing “P.O.S.” on social media the very same day Moroney dropped her Cloud 9 album (even though he’s denied on multiple occasions that there was any connection between the two), fans haven’t exactly stopped playing into the speculation. Including The Voice, who I have a feeling knew exactly what they were…

Looks like Luke Combs is making the most of every bit of his off-season from touring. And apparently, in between wrapping up his massive 2026 headlining stadium tour and hitting the road again in spring 2027, the country music superstar has some pretty big personal milestones to celebrate too. It’s no secret that the openly gluten-free “Hurricane” singer has been on a weight-loss journey for quite some time, admitting back in February that it’s something he’s struggled with for most of his life. Well, judging by his latest appearance in Leupold Optics’ hunting vlog, Combs is looking noticeably slimmer— and…

Yeah…I’m gonna need about twenty more installments of Koe Wetzel’s recent Vevo Studio performance. Earlier today, the 34-year-old Texas native dropped a surprise rendition of “When I’m Gone,” and the crispness of the audio is on a whole different level. Bringing the Night Champion single to the Vevo Studios in New York, which, as someone very fittingly pointed out in the comment section, could easily pass for the backrooms, Wetzel delivered a stunning rendition of the album’s fourth track alongside just one other guitarist from his band. And fitting for this fresh era following the release of his June album,…

There’s no denying Riley Green’s got a thing for the ladies…75 and older, that is. If you’re wondering why the 37-year-old country music heartthrob hasn’t settled down yet, it might be because he’s too busy swooning grandmas in the crowd. Over the weekend, Green embarked on a string of California show dates, rounding out his stops in Mountain View on Saturday, September 26. While crooning to the Shoreline Amphitheatre crowd, the “Worst Way” singer just so happened to spot his new replacement for his original duet partner, Ella Langley. Putting his classic Southern charm to work, Green pointed her out…

I’m convinced at this point Riley Green just doesn’t know how to slow down. Following a jam-packed summer on the road, filming for his new coaching gig on The Voice, and still preparing to wrap up his 2026 Cowboy As It Gets Tour in December, I don’t even know how the 37-year-old has had a chance to breathe. Not to mention he’s been preparing for the highly anticipated release of his fourth studio album, That’s Just Me, which dropped just a couple of weeks ago on September 18. Riding off of the project’s momentum and Green’s standout year in the…
