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?

 

NeNe Royal ROCKS “Seven Nation Army” on “America’s Got Talent” Finale

Well HOT DAMN.

I missed out on “America’s Got Talent” this Summer because, well, life.

Apparently, a winner was crowned for the 2026 season, and the title goes to 16 year-old NeNe Royal from Thailand.

Oh. My. Goodness.

This performance during the finale of her covering The White Stripes “Seven Nation Army” is… woah.

I was NOT expecting this level of badassery.

Want more?

Here’s her cover of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” from a few weeks ago:


Again, she’s 16.

I can’t wait to see what happens next for this baddie.

Keep up with her on her insta here: https://www.instagram.com/neneroyalmusic/

George Strait Wrangler Ad

Well, damn George.

Country LEGEND George Strait just did a new ad for Wrangler, and at 74, it’s safe to say that The King of Country still has it going on.

Enjoy:

First off, I’m a huge fan of both George and Wrangler… I have a ton of their Willow Riding jeans.

Also, I love that George is the real deal. He is a rancher, grew up ranching, and is the perfect person to represent the brand, as he has done for decades.

For instance, his ad from 1995:

Some things are just timeless… like Wranglers and George Strait.

Long Live the KING!

Carrie Underwood Joins Guns N’ Roses in Atlanta!

Damn, Carrie Underwood can ROCK.

I mean, most of us were already aware as she has performed many rock covers in the past, and has even joined Guns N’ Roses on tour as an opener a couple of years ago.

Well, this past weekend, she joined GNR again in Atlanta, and DAMN, did she slay…

That is a hard, hard song to sing. Not for Carrie, though.

Oh, and here she is on “Sweet Child of Mine”:

Ok, why Axl Rose didn’t just let Carrie finish out the song is beyond me, as obviously, he’s not capable of the vocal pyrotechnics that it takes to do it as he used to be.

Anyhow, rumor is that Axl is now Carrie’s “mentor” and is helping her get into the Rock genre.

Does that mean a full shift from Country? Or perhaps just something like a covers album?

I’d honestly prefer just a cover album… but hey, it’s her call.

I just think it’s a cool juxtaposition to see someone all sweet and holy like Carrie rock the face off people.

Also, her legs.

Just, woah.

What do you think? Should Carrie cross over to Rock or not?

Think she could pull it off?

Miranda Lambert “Two Things Can Be True”

I am ALWAYS here for new Miranda Lambert.

She’s getting us ready for her upcoming “Country-Disco” era with her new album “Crisco”, which comes out October 2nd, and she just released a perfect Country heartbreaker with “Two Things Can Be True”.

Getting alllll the Patsy Cline vibes with this one:


YESSSSSSSSSS.

The song is written by Miranda, Jesse Frasure, Natalie Hemby, Ilya Toshinskiy and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin – who was super rude to me at a concert of her last September.

But whatever. I don’t care about him. Just the fact that Miranda Lambert is a certified Country baddie, and I absolutely cannot wait for her new album.

Also, I’m sure that you probably are aware the she co-wrote the MASSIVE hit “Choosing Texas” with Ella Langley, right?

One hell of a year so far, and this album is shaping up to be damn good, like pretty much everything that she does.
