HARDY and Nate Smith: Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend

Country music is all about collabs lately, and I have a feeling the guys are going to LOVE (and totally relate to) this song.

Country/Rock artist HARDY has teamed up with fellow Country artist Nate Smith for a new banger called “Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend”, and both the song and video are hilarious.

Especially as we all know a guy with a girlfriend that no one likes, am I right?


So much yes right there… and I love that Kevin James is in the video as well.

As one of those girls who always had a bunch of guy friends, even I can relate to this song.

And guys, let me tell you, if no one likes your girlfriend, bail.

In my years of experience- I’m 42 now- it NEVER works out.

Both HARDY and Nate Smith are on the road this year, and you can get dates and info at https://hardyofficial.com/home/ and https://www.natesmithofficial.com/.

Also, having seen HARDY live before, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.

 

Morgan Wallen Previews New Song About His Son

Well, dang.

Another future hit from Morgan Wallen has arrived…

Morgan Wallen has a new album called “I’m the Problem” which we’re still waiting on the release date and track listing. In the meantime, Morgan is sporadically putting out songs from the upcoming project, and he has his first song on there about being a dad to his song Indigo.

He wrote on his socials, “Been trying for a long time to write a song I loved to my son. None of them ever feel good enough because of how perfect I want something like this to be. And not saying this is perfect, but I am very proud of it. Here is a clip; It’s called ‘Superman.’”

Enjoy:

Yeah, I’d say he hit that one out of the park. I especially love the references to the hot mess that Morgan can sometimes be. But, hey, at least he owns up to it!

I seriously cannot wait to hear this album.

Morgan will also be on the road with Miranda Lambert this year, which is going to be all kinds of amazing. Get dates and info at  http://morganwallen.com
 

Black Sabbath “Take Me Home Country Roads”

Now THIS is how AI should be used.

One of my favorite creators- There, I Ruined It- made an AI version of what Black Sabbath covering John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home Country Roads” would sound like, and you know what?

It works.

It shouldn’t, but it does:


Yep. That’s cool as hell.

If you know anything at all about me, you know that I love all genres of music, and can totally appreciate these kinds of things.

AI is terrifying, but when used for fun purposes like this, I can totally get down with it.

Lainey Wilson “Livin’ On a Prayer”

CRS (Country Radio Seminar) was this past week in Nashville, and sadly, I wasn’t able to make it this year.  It’s an insane few days in Music City with all the Country artists and industry peeps, and I’ve been having major FOMO these past few days seeing all my radio friends’ posts about it on social media.

One of my favorite parts of CRS is the performances… and one that has been making the social media rounds these past 24 hours is Lainey Wilson’s performance of the Bon Jovi Classic “Livin’ on a Prayer”.

She did pretty dang good:

@thetraveladdict.com Lainey Wilson covers “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi in Nashville. @Lainey Wilson @Bon Jovi #nashville #nashvilletennessee #countryradio #country #countrymusic #CRS #laineywilson #livinonaprayer ♬ original sound – thetraveladdict

Not too shabby. That is a hard song to sing, especially with the octave jump at the end. I think the band got confused once or twice on where the notes were, but that’s ok. Pretty sure they were just having a good time, and that’s what it’s all about.

I used to sing in cover bands, and this was always a staple.

Don’t believe me?

Panama City 2010.

What a time to be alive:


I can’t even log into that YouTube channel anymore…

Oh well.

Anyhow, back to the subject at hand.

Lainey Wilson is a baddie, and you can catch her on the road this year – get dates at http://LaineyWilson.com

Miranda Lambert “Run” Music Video

Damn, I love me some Miranda Lambert.

She just released the music video for her new single “Run”, and of course, it’s gorgeous, and chock full of horses and badass Western fashion.

Enjoy:

LOVE!

Then again, I love most of what Miranda does. She’s an incredible songwriter and vocalist, as well as a fellow horsewoman who likes her wine.

I’m telling you, we should be friends.

She is hitting the road this year with Morgan Wallen (which will be an AMAZING show), and you can get your tour dates here: ://www.mirandalambert.com/

 

Cher Performing “Turn Back Time” at the SNL Homecoming Concert

Cher is 78.

I just want to remind you of this before you see the video of her performance at the SNL Homecoming Concert from this past weekend.

This 78, ya’ll:


Woman has definitely still got it!

I have always loved that song, and I have so many memories of singing it in the car with my mom when I was a kid.

Kudos to Cher for pulling it off.

Also, I still really want that outfit.

Just for Daycare Drop-Off…

 

Chappell Roan “Pink Pony Club” Grammy Performance

The Grammy Awards were two weeks ago, but they’re just finally releasing full videos of the performances on YouTube.

Which, I get it. They wanted people who didn’t watch it live to stream it for a couple of weeks. I mean, it makes sense.

Anyhow, in case you missed it, Chappel Roan did one HELL of a performance of her massive hit “Pink Pony Club” and it’s pretty much the energy I want to give every day of my life.


I mean, WHATTTTT???

She performed it totally live and absolutely KILLED it.

And having a horse that is very similar to the props in this performance, I’m thinking I know what Angel and I are going as for Halloween.

What I loved most about this performance is the sheer joy that Chappel Roan brings to the stage. You can tell that she thrives there.

And her guitarist.

Hot Freaking Damn!

I absolutely love this song and performance, and I literally wake up with “Pink Pony Club” on loop in my head.

I’m not mad at it, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post Malone and Nirvana “Smells Like Teen Spirit”!

This is pretty damn cool…

Last night, it was the SNL 50th Anniversary Concert Special, and Nirvana reunited again with the surviving members (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear) and… Post Malone!

I mean, why not?

Dude is everywhere lately.

Check out their performance of the iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” below:


I mean… nothing compares to the original, obviously, but I thought that was pretty cool.

Is there anything that Post Malone can’t do? Rock, Hip Hop, Country… what’s next… Opera?

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked.

Also, how cool is it that we got two Nirvana performances is the past month?

 

Maybe more in the future?

A girl- ok, a middle-aged woman- can hope!

Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton “Please, Please, Please”

Earlier this morning, Sabrina Carpenter dropped the deluxe version of her Grammy Award winning album “Short n’ Sweet”, and it features a remake of her hit song “Please, Please, Please” with none other than the ICONIC Dolly Parton on it!

And of course, it’s stinking adorable.

Aaaahhh! LOVE it!

And I love the reference to Sabrina’s ex- actor Barry Keoghan- at the end.

Perfect.

And in case you missed it, here’s Sabrina’s full 2025 Grammy Award performance. It finally got released to YouTube:

I freaking love her.

Again, her deluxe version of “Short n’ Sweet” is out now, and I highly suggest you check her out if you’re not up on how awesome she is!

Riley Green “Worst Way” Music Video

Is it hot in here?

Could be my hot flashes… or maybe it’s just this music video for Country star Riley Green’s new single “Worst Way”.

All I can say is… DAMN.

Yeah, Riley Green doesn’t work out or anything.

Also, is anyone getting major Spencer Dutton vibes from him? (Hello, “1923”!)

Either way, Riley is easily the sexiest man in Country Music right now.

Fight me.

You can also catch him on the road this year- get the dates at http://Rileygreen.com
Really, my only complaint about this video is that he tossed the wine before showing up.

Bad call.
