Lainey Wilson Performs “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” at the 2023 CMA Awards

Dude.

Lainey Wilson.

That is all.

Check out her performace of her  song “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” at the 57Th Annual CMA Awards last night.

Dammnnnnn…

First off, I love this song. Possibly one of my favorites of hers.

Second of all, she’s an amazing human who deserves all of the good things.

All I can say is, “Goooo Lainey”!!!!

And the best part is, she’s just getting started.

Future legend right here!

Cody Johnson Performing “The Painter” at the 2023 CMA Awards

I’m watching the 57th Annual CMA Awards on ABC just now, and I was already looking forward to Cody Johnson taking the stage. Well, this performance solidified why I am such a fan.

I’m ugly crying over here.


Hot damn. You can tell he loves his wife.

Guys, take note on how to make your woman feel special.

I mean, maybe you can’t do it on this scale but still….

 

That being said, I have a massive cold right now, and my husband brought home Fireball Whiskey and Apple Cider to help make it better without me asking for it. He just knew.

Maybe it’s not a painting of me while he’s performing at the CMAs, but still… it’s something.

Here’s to love, and Mucinex and Fireball.

 

That really should be a Country song in itself.

Queen and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders “Fat Bottomed Girls”!

Queen and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?

You KNOW I am here for ALL of it.

I LOVE Queen, and for some reason, I have a minor (not creepy) obsession with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I was addicted to their show “Making the Team” on CMT, and I’m still salty that it got dropped after 16 seasons. RUDE.

Anyhow, last week in Dallas, Queen took the stage at the American Airline Center and was joined by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!!!

Eeeeee!!!!

How cool was that.

Yes, I know it happened 4 years ago as well, but nevertheless, I’m still giddy.

And I LOVE Adam Lambert on vocals, and I still have a crush on Brian May.

Also, I still want to be a DCC.  Some dreams never die.

Carrie Underwood Pays Tribute to George Michael

Carrie Underwood never fails at a live performance.

Especially when it’s honoring one of her heroes, the late George Michael.

On Friday night, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held, and George Michael was recieving a posthumous honor of being one of this year’s inductees. Carrie Underwood has always been a fan, and had in several interviews mentioned that George was her dream collab.  So, in a way, that dream got realized Friday night when Carrie honored him with a version of his song “One More Try”, and she just nailed it, as always.


Dayummmm, girl…

Such an incredible talent.

Also, I need her leg workout routine. I really need to start hitting the gym again…

A few other notable performances from Friday night’s ceremoney:

Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton:

Sheryl Crow and Olivia Rodrigo:

Missy Elliot!!!


Those are just a few of the performances, and I can’t wait to see them on the actual broadcast! That will be airing on Jan 1st on ABC.

Olivia Rodrigo “Can’t Catch Me Now”

Ooooohhhh… this song came out today, and I am LOVING it!

Pop Star Olivia Rodrigo just out out her song “Can’t Catch Me Now” off the new “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and wowza. It’s creepily, hauntingly fantastic!

Take a listen:

To me, a good song is one that presents itself with a visual in your mind when you hear it, and this one did just that the first time I listened.

Also, she wrote the song, which just proves her prowess as a songwriter.

The full soundtrack comes out the same day as the movie- November 17th.  I can’t wait to hear more!

Seriously, though. Props to Olivia for this one. It just made me love her as an artist that much more.

Cody Johnson Feat. Jelly Roll “Whiskey Bent”

Cody Johnson just released his highly anticipated double album “Leather” this morning, and there was a collab I was really excited to hear.  It’s with Jelly Roll (because who isn’t teaming up with Jelly these days?) and it’s called “Whiskey Bent” and it’s really good:


Solid work, guys! At first, just seeing the title, I thought it would be just another drinking song. And, it is, but not in the way I thought. Great play on words, and very relateable topic for many.

Whiskey = Trouble. At least in my experience, which is why I stick to wine.

Cody’s doule album “Leather” is out now, and so is the new Jason Aldean “Highway Desperado” and Toby Keith’s “100% Songwriter”.

So, a Happy Friday for Country Music!

The Beatles “Now and Then”

This one has been a LONG time coming…

The FINAL Beatles song!

Thanks to technology, a song that John Lennon had recorded a demo of finally gets to see the light of day with his vocals on it!

I have been waiting on this for months now, as so many others have since hearing that this was going to happen.

And it’s well worth the wait! Such a beautiful, haunting song. What a gift!

Check out “Now and Then”:

Ok, yeah, that was really, really good. Times like these are when technology is definitely our friend!

And the story on how this song came to light is pretty amazing as well. Check it out at https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/arts/music/beatles-now-and-then-last-song.html

Again, what a gift!

“Mean Girls” Wal-Mart Commercial

Ok, like most women my age, I absolutely LOVE “Mean Girls”.

It’s 20 years old, this year, by the way.

So, yeah, that movie was total FIRE to me at 20 years old. I rememvber seeing it in theaters with my best friend Erica and thinking, “Omg, best movie EVER.”

Is it really? Nah. But to 20 year-old me, it was freaking Oscar-worthy at the time.

Anyhow, Wal-Mart just made a brilliant -albiet, expensive- advertising move with an upated version of the movie “Mean Girls” to prote their Black Friday deals, and Holy Moly, it’s perfect.

I laughed so damn hard, and it made my heart happy to see this.

Also, where the HELL is Regina George? I guess Rachel McAdams had better things to do. Her loss.

This absolutely made my day.

Now, if only Wal-Mart could hire some checkout people, and they’d be golden.

The Mudpuddles “Lake Beach”

In case you missed it… on “Saturday Night Live”, there was a skit with comedian Nate Bargatze and SNL cast members making fun of Country Music with a song called “Lakebeach” sung by a band called “The MudPuddles”.

I snorted coffee up my nose I laughed so damn hard, and I may now have to go to the ER.

This is freaking GOLD.

Anyone who grew up in the Country knows about the damn Lake Beach.

For me, it was Piney Lake in West Tennessee.

Don’t knock the damn Lake Beach until you’ve tried it, ok?

Also, how awesome is Dave Grohl in the sketch?

Seriously, I had to watch this seven times already, and it’s so perfect and hilarious. Only because it’s 1,000% true.

God Bless Lake Beaches and Country Music!
