Beyonce’s her label IS officially sending the song, “Texas Hold ‘Em” to country radio.

Ashley McBryde just broke down all her pre-show thoughts in a TikTok and it confirms why she’s one of the coolest in the business.

Zach Bryan shared two Valentine’s Day messages . . . including one for his dog.  Her name is Boston.  He posted a photo of her and said, “Happy Valentine’s Day to the prettiest girl in the world.”  He also posted a nice message for his ACTUAL girlfriend, podcaster Brianna LaPaglia.  It started out, “You are tough when people are rude, you are honest when it is hard, [and] you are kind when it’s easy not to be.” 

Carrie Underwood revealed her favorite “classic” Valentine’s Day gift.  “Chocolate’s every woman’s friend – in their time of need, or in their time of happiness, or in their time of sadness or madness, chocolate is my friend.”

Maren Morris teased a new music video that’s out today with a post that said, “Have something better than a valentine coming tomorrow.” 

Keith Urban’s advice for gift-giving was even a small thing like flowers from the grocery store is good, because “it’s the thought that counts.”  He joked that the one time it doesn’t apply is if you say, “I THOUGHT about buying you a gift . . . and it’s the thought that counts.”

Brad Paisley held a fundraiser for President Biden at his home in Nashville over the weekend, and First Lady Jill Biden was there.  It caused a traffic NIGHTMARE.  And it got the attention of John Rich. He Tweeted, “This visit shut down the interstate in Nashville, but I heard Jill raised a ton of money at Brad Paisley’s house.  Hey Brad, give us a heads up next time bro.  That traffic was brutal.” John’s tone was playful enough, but could it be that he was trying to call Brad out for supporting the president?  His Tweet got plenty of responses from fans saying they won’t listen to Brad’s music anymore.
