Heart Performing “Janie’s Got a Gun” at The Hollywood Bowl

This past week- 10/29 and 11/1- Aeromith held their “Aerosmith and Friends” concerts at The Hollywood Bowl, which had an absolutely incredible star-studded line-up.

I’ve really enjoyed watching all the videos that are popping up from the shows, and one that really got my attention was Heart’s rendition of “Janie’s Got a Gun”.

Check this out:

By the way, Ann Wilson of Heart is 76 years old, and still sounds amazing.

She has even recently battled cancer, and still sounds like a freaking goddess.

No autotune needed.

Now, THAT’s how it’s done kiddos.

 

Also, Steven Tyler rebutted what comedian Bill Burr said about it being Aerosmith’s final two shows.

He said Aerosmith will never die.

 

GOOD.

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.

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.

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/

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?

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?!

Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks Performing “Landslide” at the Met Gala!

The 2026 Met Gala was this past Monday night in New York City, and it’s basically a gathering of super rich and famous people showing off how much money they have.

Which, cool, if I were rich, I’d probably do the same.

Anyhow, this video surfaced of pop singer Sabrina Carpenter and the QUEEN Stevie Nicks performing “Landslide” together, and it’s pretty dang impressive:

Stevie still looks and sounds incredible, and I sometimes forget how talented Sabrina actually is.

Most of her recent hits don’t show off her vocal skills (just her overt sexuality) and I want more of this from her in the future.

But also, Stevie Freaking Nicks.

So cool to see these two major artists from different generations share the stage.

Talent never goes out of style.

Prince “With This Tear”

10 years ago today, we lost the iconic artist Prince.

To commemorate the occasion and to honor the legend, Prince’s estate put out a previously unreleased song from the vault called “With This Tear” which Prince had recorded in 1991:


Dang.

I’m really loving that.

What an incredible talent gone too soon.

Also, how has it been 10 years already?

Oh, and fun fact: Prince offered “With This Tear” to Celine Dion, who then recorded it, and put it on her debut album in 1992.

Wild, right?

Here’s her version:

Prince’s version will be on an upcoming Vault album, which will be coming out in the future.

A “Celebration of Life” will be held at Paisley Park in June.

Carly Pearce and Riley Green “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”

Is it hot in here, or is it just this damn music video?

Country hotties Carly Pearce and Riley Green have teamed up for a sexy new song called, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”.

The song is, in my opinion, just ok.

But the video?

Get ready for some thirst trap action:

Well, ok then…

Between this and Kacey Musgrave’s “Dry Spell” that came out this past week, Country Music is getting all kinds of sexy over here.

And before you go thinking that Carly and Riley are hooking up, they’re not. At least that I know of. Carly is very openly showing off her new boyfriend on instagram.

Although, when I saw her last April, she did say that Riley Green is the “most beautiful man”.

She’s not wrong.

 

P!nk “Time After Time”

This is soooo good.

Pop star P!nk filled in for Kelly Clarkson as the host of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” this past week, and like Kelly always does, she covers different songs in each episode. Instead of “Kellyoke” she called it “Cameo-oke” and did one heck of a version of Cyndi Lauper’s 80’s ballad “Time After Time”.

She pretty much nailed it:


I’ve always loved that song, and P!nk did her own thing on it, and made it her own.

Her voice is just next level.

Andddd… the rumor is that P!nk very well could be replacing Kelly when she leaves the show after it’s current 7th season. Hence, why she’s filling in- kind of a trial run with NBC.

If that’s the case, I think she’d be a great fit.

Stay tuned!
