Carrie Underwood Covering Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff”!

Ok, I did NOT see this one coming.

Carrie Underwood covering Limp Bizkit?

Really?

Now, I know the woman can ROCK- I mean, she opened up for Guns N’ Roses a few years back, and she really slayed it. And she’s also a Heavy Metal fan, which I think is awesome.

I just didn’t see her trying to cover Limp Bizkit, but props for thinking outside the cover song box!

Here she is at the Velocity Festival in Dyersville, Iowa, over the weekend:

Well, alrighty then…

She also went on to perform songs from Linkin Park, Collective Soul, and Papa Roach, but her take on Limp Bizkit is what’s getting the most attention.

I love how she cut out the curse words… because, well, Carrie.

I think it would have been cooler to cover “Nookie”…

Anyhow, the performance is getting mixed reactions, but I think it’s fun.

I mean, good for her for doing something different.

Also, I want her legs…

Chris Stapleton Dolly Parton Tribute

I’m still not properly processing the passing of Dolly Parton, who left this world this past Tuesday.

Still doesn’t seem real.

The tributes have been pouring in, and the most impressive one in my book?

Chris Stapleton covering “I Will Always Love You” live in concert this past week in Jones Beach.

Behold:

Damn, sonnnnn…

 

Ok, can we just release that as a single and all proceeds go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?

Just call me the Good Idea Fairy.

Megan Moroney Performing With The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!

 

What Texas dreams are made of…

This past Friday night, Megan Moroney played in Dallas, TX.

It only makes sense that she’d bring out the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, right?

I mean, duh. :

@kayleemasonphotography Just when we thought Megan Moroney’s show was over, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders came out to perform with her!! ⭐️💙 Megan Moroney + DDC 🙌⭐️💙 The energy in that stadium was INSANE. 🔥✨🎤 #MeganMoroney #Dallas #DallasCowboys #DallasCowboysCheerleaders @Megan Moroney ♬ Am I Okay? – Megan Moroney

Real talk: I LOVE the DCC.

I couldn’t care less about the actual football team, but I love the show, and this performance just made my heart happy.

Is 43 too old to be a DCC?

Oh, and I can’t dance.

Guess I’ll live vicariously through these talented ladies.

Also Megan Moroney’s “Cloud 9” tour continues through the Summer.

Kaitlin Butts “I Wanna Be Bad”

Country music is on fire in 2026.

The two biggest artists in America are Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen. For the first time EVER the Top 5 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 are Country songs. Top 40 Radio is playing Ella Langley’s “Choosing Texas” and Stella Lefty’s “Boston” in heavy rotation.

It’s pretty damn glorious, if you ask me.

Next up on your playlist?

Kaitlin Butts.

She’s one of Ella Langley’s friends- she even makes a cameo in the “Choosing Texas” music video- and has been on the scene for awhile.

Well, now it’s her time to strike.

She just released her new song “I Wanna Be Bad” and it’s so dang fun.

I have a feeling I’ll be playing this one a lot…


How cool is she? I really just want to party with her.

Ok, maybe I’m too old to get down, but I could come out of retirement for a night.

Here’s another one of her songs that hit big earlier this year- which went viral thanks to Ella Langley using it on a Tik Tok video and it being used on an episode of “Landman”.

“You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me):

I love how unique she is as an artist- and funny as hell.

Her new album “Hello, Honky Tonk” drops October 30th, and she’s on the road big time in 2026.

Get ready for more of this woman. She’s comin’ in HOT!

Guns N’ Roses AND Chris Stapleton!!!

Well, this happened…

Two of my favorites- Guns N’ Roses and Chris Stapleton collided.

GNR and Chris were both playing Toronto this past week,.

So, it only made sense that they would pop up at each other’s shows, right?

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!

First, Chris joined GNR for a version of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” which was glorious:

 

And if that wasn’t enough badassery, GNR joined Chris for a version of “Patience” at HIS Toronto show the next night!

Ahhhh… my little Country and Rock heart is happy.

It would be even happier if they had done “Sweet Child of Mine” or “Paradise City”, but what can ya do?

I’ll take it.

 

Now if Chris could just make a full Rock covers album, I could die happy.

 

Universe, ya hear that?!

Ashley McBryde Interview!

Why was this week awesome?

Because I got interview one of my favorites Ashley McBryde, that’s why!

She called into the show, and I think I just want to be her best friend.

Seriously. the most fun I’ve had with any interview!

How awesome is she, though?

You never know what someone is going to be like in an interview, but Ashley surpassed all expectations.

Also, she’s currently on the road, and is just as good live as she is on her records.

Miranda Lambert “Til’ The Goings Gone”

You know I love me some Miranda Lambert, and I am REALLY into her new “Country Disco” era.

Her new song that just dropped today- “Til’ The Goings Gone”- is a perfect throwback to the 70’s Country vibe:


YASSSS QUEEN!

Miranda always delivers.

Also, she announced this week that her new album “Crisco”, which will have more of that Country/Disco sound, will be out October 2nd.

 

2026 is THE year for women in Country music, and it’s a beautiful thing.

Jelly Roll “Hands Up”

Jelly Roll- fresh off the heels of filing for divorce from his wife of 10 years Bunnie XO- has just released a new song called “Hands Up”.

It’s definitely in keeping with his newfound faith, and goes along with his usual narrative of redemption:

Even if you’re not a fan of Jelly Roll, you have to give the man props for turning his life around.

And let’s be real, his music is pretty catchy. I don’t know much about his prior rap career, but his Country and Rock releases are pretty good.

I’m sure “Hands Up” will be an anthem for many, and as someone who is definitely not perfect, but I keep trying just to do my damn best, I can relate.

Jelly Roll is currently on the road with Post Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” and on his “Little Ass Shed Tour”, and you can get the dates here: https://jellyroll615.com/

Brad Paisley and Miranda Lambert “Someone Else’s Arms”

I’m all here for this!

Brad Paisley teamed up with one of my favorites Miranda Lambert for a Classic Country-tinged duet called “Someone Else’s Arms”- enjoy!

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the resurgence of the Classic Country sound in modern-day Country Music.

It was much needed…

“Someone Else’s Arms” is a part of Brad Paisley’s “Tacklebox” which is a collection of old and new music that keeps getting added to, like musical dropbox.

We need more in this in 2026!
