Megan Moroney “You For Me”

Ok, this is totally my new music pick for this weekend.

Country star Megan Moroney released a beautiful new song called “Me For You” (Smoky Mountain Demo), and I have a feeling you’ll be hearing it at a lot of weddings in the future:


How pretty is that? Very simple, sweet, and I love Megan’s smoky alto on this.

It’s kind of a nice change from her sassy, upbeat songs that she has on the radio like “Medicine” and “6 Months Later”.

Hopefully, there’s more from where that comes from, since it seems like it may have been part of a writing session (the Smoky Mountain Demo part).

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:

A post shared by Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys)

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.

 

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.

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!

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?

 

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!
