Lainey Wilson’s Nashville story came full circle Thursday night when she headlined a sold-out Bridgestone Arena—a milestone 14 years in the making. For an artist who’s spent years grinding, writing, and touring, the moment wasn’t lost on her.
“I’ve sat in almost every corner of this place,” she told the crowd. “I always believed this would happen, but now that it’s here, it’s really blowing my mind.”
Lainey surprised fans with FOUR special guests. Ella Langley joined her for “Good Horses,” Ernest for “Would If I Could,” and Muscadine Bloodline for “Pieces.” But the loudest cheers of the night came when Jelly Roll appeared to sing “Save Me.”
After their duet, Jelly Roll paused to deliver one of his signature inspirational speeches to honor Lainey. He is the ultimate hype man!

Fans headed to Las Vegas this December were expecting to see Dolly Parton at Caesars Palace, but after Dolly postponed her shows to focus on her health, another country superstar is stepping up—Tim McGraw.
The residency, titled “Tim McGraw: Live in Vegas,” will be a special limited engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on December 4th, 6th, 12th, and 13th.
The timing couldn’t be bigger—it lands right in the middle of National Finals Rodeo week, one of the busiest and most exciting weeks in Vegas.
McGraw’s shows take over several of the dates originally planned for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas.” While Dolly focuses on her recovery after medical procedures, fans will still get a dose of country magic.

Stop what you’re doing and give this a listen: Alan Jackson’s country classic “Chattahoochee”—but with a British accent. TikTok can’t get enough, and honestly, neither can we.
The viral video comes from comedian Michael Rhys, who has made a name for himself with hilarious skits, but this one might be his best yet. Donning a set of intentionally “bad English teeth,” he reimagines Jackson’s Southern anthem with a British twist—swapping out lyrics for UK-inspired references.
One running gag? His undying love of beans. And then there’s the line that’s got TikTok quoting him nonstop: “Yeehaw mate, innit right?”
Even Alan Jackson once joked that people outside the South probably don’t know what “Chattahoochee” actually means—but we bet he never pictured it being sung across the pond in a British accent.

Kane Brown and his wife, Katelyn, are taking their smash duet “Thank God” to the small screen this holiday season. The couple has just signed on for a Lifetime Christmas movie inspired by their song, titled Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch.
In a joint statement, the Browns shared: “The song ‘Thank God’ is so special to us. We also really love Christmas and celebrating as a family. So for these two worlds to collide, we couldn’t be more excited!”
The film will include “Thank God” featured three times throughout its soundtrack.
The story centers on a pro hockey player sidelined by an injury just weeks before Christmas. He heads to Keller Ranch as part of his rehabilitation and meets an equestrian-assisted therapist who also happens to be a single mom. Sparks fly, and the holiday magic begins.
While the Browns won’t appear in the film as actors, Billboard reports that both will serve as executive producers, ensuring their special touch is woven into the project.
Lifetime has not yet announced an official release date for Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch.

If you read any of the entertainment magazines or visit their websites, then you’ve probably seen rumors and stories from anonymous sources regarding Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman‘s split. There’s even speculation that Keith is involved with a member of his band after performing “The Fighter” with her.
But, to put things in perspective…Keith has sung “The Fighter” with many female singers over the years and has often found a way to personalize it to them. Check out when he performed it with the song’s original collaborator, Carrie Underwood, at the ACM Awards.
A three-year-old just had a George Strait–themed birthday party, and it’s going viral online.
It’s proof you’re never too young to have classic country taste.
The TikTok shows a little boy named Smith, dressed in a Stetson hat, denim shirt, and cowboy boots, sitting proudly next to a cardboard cutout of George.
A banner nearby read, “Dang Strait! Smith is 3.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of it. One person commented, “I’ve been in love with him since I was 4. I’m 44 now. Happy birthday, little man!”
