Zach Bryan says his new “fair” ticketing policy has been a huge success.  If you haven’t been following it, he didn’t like Ticketmaster and scalpers price-gouging people. So for his “Burn, Burn, Burn” tour, he’s been using a lottery system instead, and selling tickets through AXS.com.  He posted an update yesterday and said it’s going well. “Who knew you could sell tickets at a reasonable price to real fans in a fair way?”  His shows haven’t sold out in 30 SECONDS like usual.  But every ticket has cost between $40 and $130. He says no one’s paid more than $156, including taxes and fees.  Thanks to overwhelming demand, he also announced he’s adding a few more shows in Philadelphia, Tulsa, Duluth, and New York City.

It’s kind of nerve-wracking to be the first one in a relationship to say, “I love you.”  It’s even tough for famous people like Ashton Kutcher who needed a COUNTRY SONG to help him say it to Mila Kunis. He talked about it on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.  Quote, “I came into her house, and I was singing this Kenny Chesney song.  I was like, ‘You and tequila make me crazy’ . . . because there had been a little too much tequila consumed.” It was obvious to Mila that his courage was “beverage enhanced” so she told him to sleep it off.  He did, but the feeling was just as strong the next morning, so he woke HER up and said it again.

Lindsay Ell was recently diagnosed with an eating disorder.  She’s been in denial about it for a long time, because she didn’t LOOK like someone who was sick.  But when it started “taking over her life” she knew it was time to confront it. She’s sharing her journey with fans in hopes that her experience can help someone else . . . just as other stories helped her.

Justin Moore and Priscilla Block recently released their “You, Me, And Whiskey” video.  Justin says it’s the “spiciest, sexiest, and most sultry” video of his career, which is why he hired two actors to play the married couple. “I thought it was kind of cool that I didn’t have to take my clothes off and get in bed.  It wouldn’t have been [so cool] if I had to do that.”

Tracy Lawrence and Gary Allan announced their first-ever co-headlining tour.  Each of them are promising to do full sets of their own music.  All the shows are in May and June, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they add more. Hit up GaryAllan.com or TracyLawrence.com for more info.

Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and Thomas Rhett are going to headline a new festival called Beach It!  It’s going down June 23rd through the 25th in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Other performers include Brothers Osborne, Riley Green, and Cole Swindell.

Did Sam Hunt have the best Valentine’s Day of his life?  He shared a clip of himself smiling at someone off camera as he plays a little bit of Steve Earle’s “Valentine’s Day”.  The smile is for his daughter Lucy who’s nearby saying “Dada.”  That’ll do it.
