Dolly Parton is postponing her December run of shows at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum in Las Vegas.
In an Instagram post yesterday, Dolly explained that she’s been dealing with ongoing health issues, and her team has recommended several medical procedures. She assured fans she’s taking their advice.
Of course, Dolly lightened the moment, joking that she told her doctors, “Guess it’s time for my 100,000-mile checkup.”
She emphasized that these procedures are not cosmetic, but they will prevent her from properly preparing for her shows.
And Dolly wants everyone to know this is NOT a retirement announcement. She said maybe it’s just God reminding her to slow down a little. While she recovers, she’ll continue working on projects back home in Nashville.
The six December concerts have been rescheduled for September of next year.
Get well soon, Dolly!

Last week, the Grand Ole Opry hit the road for a special performance in London. During its international debut at Royal Albert Hall, Carly Pearce and Luke Combs performed their first live duet of “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”
After Carly and Luke wrote the song together, the timing wasn’t right for Luke to be featured on it. “Even Though I’m Leaving” was already his single, and he just released a collaboration with Brooks & Dunn, so Carly recorded it with Lee Brice, and the rest is history.
Carly shared footage of the performance on her Instagra,m writing, “Many of you don’t know that I wrote ‘I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Luke Combs. tonight in London, we sang it for the FIRST time since we wrote it six years ago. Thank you Luke for this full circle moment!”

Miranda Lambert was at the Ryder Cup Celebrity Match at Bethpage Black this week, repping Team USA and bringing her A-game to the green. The country superstar was paired with television host and former NFLer Michael Strahan on the links, but turned heads on her own in a custom pair of guava-and-white Nu Retro 1G Air Jordan golf shoes made just for the tournament.
When she agreed to play in the event, Miranda said she’s only ever played 22 holes in her life!

Jordan Davis just did his first show ever at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. But he also had a special guest join him up there.
It was none other than NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.

The latest viral moment? You ask someone super athletic, “Do you wish you were more athletic?” and watch the confusion unfold. Hannah McFarlane just tried it on country star Chase Rice, who by the way, was a college football player in North Carolina. His reaction? Absolute disbelief. “What do you even mean? I am athletic!” The whole thing is hilarious and has TikTok rolling.
Warning NSFW language.

And Zach Bryan just put himself in the record books. On Saturday night, he headlined the first-ever concert at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, performing in front of 112,408 fans—a record for the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history.
The previous record was set by George Strait’s 2024 Texas show, which drew 110,905 people. Zach’s three-hour, 27-song set was his final scheduled show of 2025, and fans said it felt more like a festival than a single concert. In total, six acts performed, with music lasting more than seven hours.
