Miranda Lambert is the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Game Halftime Performer!!!

Well, this just made my Sunday.

It was announced today that one of my all-time favorites Miranda Lambert will be headlining the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show!

Every Thanksgiving for the past 30 years, The Dallas Cowboys have played a game on Thanksgiving Day, and the halftime show has been a big deal every year, and coincides with the Salvation Army’s “Red Kettle Kickoff”.

The past few years, performers have included the likes of Dolly Parton, Post Malone, and Lainey Wilson.

This year, it’s Miranda Lambert.

Here’s the announcement from the DCC on instagram:

Oh, HELL YES.

I love Miranda AND the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

I don’t care about the actual Dallas Cowboys, but for some reason I am mildly obsessed with the DCC, and I’m not even a little ashamed.

Catch the Game and performance Thanksgiving Day on FOX.

Bad Wolves Feat. Dolly Parton “Jolene”

And the tributes keep rolling in…

This one is by rock band Bad Wolves, who are known for their covers (like their badass version of The Cranberries “Zombie”)  and they just released their version of the late, great Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” with approved vocals from Dolly on the track.

They had been working on the song prior to Dolly’s passing, with hopes to have her on the track.

Sadly, that didn’t happen. For obvious reasons.

But after her passing, her estate approved previously recorded vocals, and it was mixed down to a pretty cool version of the Country classic.


Now, all proceeds to this version of “Jolene” go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. And all the teens featured in the music video are from the Nashville School of Rock, as Dolly would have wanted.

Get the song, and more info here: https://badwolvesnation.com/

Kacey Musgraves “Weekend in Texas”

Kacey Musgraves isn’t making us wait for new music.

She put out her latest album “Middle of Nowhere” earlier this year, where she gets back to her Country roots, and this week just announced the second part of her album.

“Middle of Nowhere Vol 2: Tex Mex Tapes” will be out next year, and she released a couple of songs off the 16 song project including “Weekend in Texas”- check it out below.


This is the Kacey Musgraves I fell in love with. That smooth, honey-tinged voice, clever, fun lyrics, and just a total vibe.

The riding the disco ball testicles are a bit much for me, but her music? Especially lately? I’m all for it.

“Middle of Nowhere Vol 2: Tex Mex Tapes” drops January 15th.

More info, tour dates, etc here: https://kaceymusgraves.com/

Carrie Underwood Performs “I Will Always Love You” at the CMA Dolly Parton Tribute

Did you watch the CMA Dolly Parton Tribute last night?

It was SO dang good.

So many stories, tributes and stellar performances by some of the biggest names in Country Music.

The icing on the cake?

Carrie Underwood performing Dolly’s iconic “I Will Always Love You” at the end, and all the other performers join her at the very last part.

Chilllllssssss…


Carrie’s voice is something, isn’t it?

Not fair that she gets that AND those legs…

If you haven’t seen the tribute yet, it’s definitely worth a watch this weekend- it’s streaming on Hulu.

I’m sure Dolly is smiling in Heaven at this.

Miley Cyrus Dolly Parton Tribute

This past weekend, Miley Cyrus performed for the first time since 2022, taking the stage for two nights at The Hollywood Bowl, and she did a sweet tribute to her Godmother, the late, great Dolly Parton, who sadly passed away this past August.

First she told a pretty cool story involving her experience with Dolly at the Hollywood Bowl:

She then followed up her story by performing “Jolene”:

Soooo good.

Miley is one of those artists who has definitely grown on me these past few years, and has really proven herself as an incredible talent.

Also, rumors are swirling that she could be the next Super Bowl Half-Time Show performer…

I’d totally be down with that.

Lainey Wilson “Kinda Love It”

Lainey Wilson just dropped a new song inspired by her husband Devlin “Duck” Hodges called “Kinda Love It” and I kind of do, too!

Lainey and “Duck” got married earlier this year, and they just seem like the funnest couple ever. He reminds me so much of my own husband, especially with the outdoors obsession, and I can totally relate to the song AND the video.

Check it out below:

How fun are they?

I can tell you, that’s the real love right there.

What I’m wondering is, with this new song, is Lainey planning a new album?

I thinking maybe, as tomorrow is her last concert that I see on her calendar until May…https://www.laineywilson.com/tour

Stay tuned!

Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley “Snakeskin Boots”

I’ve been waiting for this album for months, and it’s finally here!

Miranda Lambert released her latest album “Crisco”, as she’s officially entered her “Country Disco” era, and it did NOT disappoint.

I mean, it’s Miranda.

She never does.

She teamed up with her friend and songwriting partner Ella Langley for a collab called “Snakeskin Boots”, and it’s so damn fun:

You can’t go wrong with Miranda and Ella.

They co-wrote “Choosin’ Texas” after all, which is spending a 24th week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100- more weeks than any other song in history.

So, why not keep that magic going?

Check out “Crisco” available everywhere now.

Dolly Parton Final Commercial

Well, this is… bittersweet.

First off, it’s National Coffee Day, and in conjunction with the holiday, Dolly Parton’s team released her “Cup of Ambition” coffee line nationwide, as well as it’s commercial.

It just so happened to be Dolly’s final commercial ever, as it was filmed a month prior to her passing.

Ugh, that hurts.

Watching that commercial- knowing now that she was battling cancer at the time- hits hard.

But you have to hand it to Dolly for continuing to work until the very end.

We will always love you, Dolly!

Kacey Musgraves Honors Dolly Parton at the MTV VMAS

This was STUNNING.

Last night, the MTV Video Music Awards went down, which honestly, I’m not really a fan because, let’s be real.

What’s the point?

It’s not like MTV actually shows videos anymore.

But I digress…

Kacey Musgraves took to the stage to honor the late Dolly Parton with a gorgeous tribute:

Flawless.

I like this version of Kacey way better than the one that rides on disco ball testicles.

Guess I’m old fashioned after all.

Seriously though, a gorgeous performance, and a fitting tribute to the QUEEN.

Lainey Wilson “Phone, Keys, Wallet” Music Video

I’m not sure if this is creepy, hilarious or both.

Ok, Imma just go with both.

Lainey Wilson just released the music video for her latest hit song “Phone, Keys, Wallet”, and I was NOT expecting this.

Lainey is pretty much decapitated the entire time.

I mean, it’s creative, if nothing else?


Ok, I laughed a lot, but I’m still creeped out.

Disembodied heads are always a no for me.

But, again, props for creativity, and I do love Lainey’s sense of humor and her ability to not take herself seriously.

Maybe headless Lainey Wilson Halloween costumes will be hot this year?
