I genuinely don’t have the words to describe the heart-wrenching loss the world has experienced today. After facing health complications over the past year, country music legend Dolly Parton had been forced to miss several events in recent weeks, including the grand opening of her new Dolly Parton Night Flight Expedition ride. Earlier this year, she also canceled her Las Vegas residency. Today, August 25, her nephew Bryan Seaver shared the tragic news that the iconic 80-year-old singer-songwriter had passed away in Nashville, Tennessee. In the official video shared to Dolly’s social media accounts, Seaver revealed that his beloved aunt…

What an absolutely tragic day for country music and beyond. The iconic queen of country music, Dolly Parton, sadly passed away today, August 25, at the age of 80. Her nephew officially announced the heart-wrenching news to the “Jolene” singer’s social media accounts today, noting, “Dolly is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in heaven.” Her fellow female icon and duet partner, Reba McEntire, also took to social media today as well to express her condolences, stating, “There will never be…

I’d just like to let it be known that I’m the number one cheerleader for an officially released Koe Wetzel ’90s country cover. While it may come as a shock to some, the Texas native known for his grungy red-dirt rock-country blend has been known to throw a few curveballs on stage, covering some country classics. In the past, he’s put an epic spin on Sammy Kershaw’s “Queen of My Double Wide Trailer” along with Toby Keith’s “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” and while this is way outta left field from the ’90s country genre, he also did a bad*ss rendition…

I cannot tell a lie; unfortunately, I’m not an average daytime television watcher. However, boy am I gonna miss seeing Kelly Clarkson’s Kellyoke segments pop up on my social media feeds. The American Idol season one winner turned mega-star is preparing to wrap up her self-titled talk show in just a week— and no, it’s not because Gen Zers like myself have killed regular television viewership (sorry, Kelly and NBC). On the contrary, the “Since You Been Gone” singer’s show was quite the hit, and I’m sure the network is kickin’ its feet as we speak now that its final…

My respect for Cody Johnson as an artist continues to skyrocket day by day. The 39-year-old Texas native is no stranger to standing firm on his pride in his country, his faith, and his dedication to the fans as a performer. With that being said, pretty much every show of his is bound to be a stellar experience with vocals damn near identical to the recorded version and delivering an unforgettable performance. Per fan demand, this year on his Live ’26 tour, Johnson’s been listening to the many begs and pleads from people wanting to hear his beloved covers, including…

Can someone get the David Allan Coe documentary in the works already? It’s been over four months since the country music icon passed away, and every time I learn something new about him, my mouth still continues to gape open more and more. Good ‘ole DAC, who died this past April 29 at the age of 86, left behind a decades-long career and a legacy of outlaw antics that continue to precede him Well, thanks to another famous country music star’s booking agent, I learned a few other fun facts about the “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”…
