Kelsea Ballerini released one heck of a new song this past Friday- it’s called “I Sit in Parks”, and I really feel like it’s one of her best yet.
It’s the plight of the modern woman:
That song hits different, right?
Very honest and vulnerable… and having had a child later in life (at 38) after establishing my career, I definitely relate to the subject. Sure, my career isn’t an iota as to what Kelsea’s career is, but still, I get it.
It’s something that so many women struggle with internally… do you get married and have kids first? Or work to fulfill your potential in the working world? Or both?
Both is hard, but it can be done. I’m proof of that.
Lord, it’s a lot of juggling and constantly restructuring, yet extremely fulfilling at the same time.
I hope Kelsea- and every woman in this situation- can find the happiness they long for.
That being said, Kelsea has really upped her game as a songwriter this past decade, and I can’t wait to hear more from her.
Luckily, that’s not a long wait… her new EP “Mount Pleasant” drops this Friday, November 14th.
Chris Young- one of my favorite voices in Country Music- most likely had a few too many prior to taking the stage at “Boots in the Park” in Tucson, AZ over the weekend.
A couple of videos have gone viral on Tik Tok of his performances, and… yeah. Definitely not the live caliber that I expected:
It’s been reported that people were leaving the show early, and I totally get why. Fans are accusing him of being way too drunk to perform, and a few are saying that it’s sound issues.
Honestly, sounds more like a few too many tequila shots to me.
Chris Young has yet to address the issue.
I honestly can’t judge, as when I used to sing in cover bands in Memphis in my early twenties, I have had a few boozy performances myself. I’m just glad social media wasn’t a big thing at the time, and that smartphones didn’t exist.
Thank you Baby Jesus for that.
Then again, people weren’t shelling out mega-bucks to see me perform. And there was never a cover… so it IS a little different.
I feel like if your fans are paying to see you perform, keep it together for that hour/hour and-a-half that you’re on stage.
Hopefully this is a one-off for Chris, and that he keeps the Whisky shots till after the show.
Still… one of my favorite voices for sure… and I hope this is just a bad night.
Morgan Wallen just released the music video for his latest single “I Got Better”, and I have a feeling the ladies will be all about it…
Someone has been hitting the gym, am I right?
I think the appeal of Morgan Wallen as a sex symbol is that he looks like your average guy. Seriously, he looks like he could be my husband’s cousin or something.
Also, his latest album “I’m the Problem” is by far the biggest-selling album of 2025 so far. The only person who can beat him is Taylor Swift- who drops her new album “The Life of a Showgirl” on Friday.
It’ll be fun to see who ends up winning the sales battle. It’s going to be close.
Ella Langley is quickly becoming one of the best new Country artists on the Nashville scene, and this version she just released of the Toby Keith classic “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” proves why she’s here:
Oh damn girl…
I’ve always loved this song (90’s Toby Keith was IT), and Ella made it her own, and seriously, this should just go on and be a radio single.
