Zach Bryan didn’t agree with Travis Tritt’s anti-Bud Light stance, but instead of hurling insults, they talked it out. Credit goes to Travis who got it started, and even Tweeted about it.  “Zach, been trying to reach out to your manager.  Since we are both playing the Two Step Inn Festival, we [can] chat in person.” They arranged an “eye-to-eye” conversation where they talked about their differences and similarities for an hour and a half.  He closed it with another joke, saying, “It seems the world did not end.”

Please STOP throwing stuff at performers during concerts.  Somebody tossed a cowboy boot that hit Kane Brown at his show in Wichita, Kansas last week. There’s a video making the rounds of the painful moment.  Kane is singing “One Thing Right” when the boot comes out of nowhere and hits him.  He bends over in pain, and slowly crumples to the floor until he’s flat on his back. Somehow, he stayed cool about it.  After the song was over, he said, “Gol-ly.  Hit me with the heel.  I felt that.”  Then he asked if the boot was expensive . . . and eventually AUTOGRAPHED it and gave it back to person

Lady A delayed their tour last summer so Charles Kelley could focus on his sobriety.  He’s over nine months sober now.  And this weekend, they kicked it back off with two nights at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. During their first show on Friday, he got a standing ovation for his latest solo release, “As Far as You Could”.  He’s called it his “goodbye letter” to alcohol.

A few months ago, Brad Paisley collaborated with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on a charity song called “Same Here”.  Now, he’s making his first visit to Ukraine, and he performed the song in Kyiv.   He also sang “Take Me Home, Country Roads” with a U.S. Senator from West Virginia, who’s also on the trip.  And he also performed it in front of U.S. troops in Poland.  It was apparently a surprise show, and the soldiers even sang along.

Brett Young performed at the Tortuga Music Festival on Friday, but all everyone wants to talk about was when he brought his family to the stage.  His wife Taylor and their two little girls stood nearby as he sang and danced with them. 

We all know Carly Pearce’s self-described divorce album, “29:  Written in Stone”, broke out huge.  Now it’s Michael Ray’s turn.  He released his “Get Her Back” video.  It stars a Carly lookalike who’s lost in her own world while ignoring him.  During one manic episode she falls into a swimming pool and drowns.  Everyone thinks Michael did it, and he’s arrested for it. 

Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli will join Lionel Richie for King Charles’ coronation concert.  They’ll perform on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7th.

Ryan Seacrest said goodbye to “Live With Kelly and Ryan” for the last time on Friday.  Kelly’s husband Mark Consuelos takes over as co-host, starting today.

We still don’t know what happened to Jamie Foxx, but a source says he’s, quote, “steadily improving.”
