Post Malone just announced his Big [Butt] Stadium Tour featuring Jelly Roll, with special guest Sierra Ferrell. It’s Post’s first-ever stadium tour. The Big [Butt] Stadium Tour’s General tickets go on sale Tuesday.  But if you want early access, you might still have time to sign up for the artist presale.  And then you can buy tickets starting Friday. May 24 – Philadelphia, PA @ Citizens Bank Park^     May 28 – Hershey, PA @ Hersheypark Stadium^

The CMAs are on TONIGHT at 8:00 on ABC.   Some predictions:

For Entertainer of the Year, they said Jelly Roll will win, but Morgan Wallen should instead . . . for Album of the Year, they said Chris Stapleton will win, but Jelly should win instead . . .

And for Single of the Year, they said “I Had Some Help”, by Post Malone and Morgan, will take down the prize.  But they think that “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, by Shaboozey, should win instead.

1.  Luke Bryan said he’d like to see the CMA Awards categories get updated.

2.  Cody Johnson was asked if there are any dreams he hasn’t accomplished yet, and he said, “Yeah.  I want to win Entertainer of the Year.”

3.  Zach Top will be taking his new girlfriend Amelia to the CMAs.  He said, “They’ll look at her, and listen to me.  Hopefully.”

This past weekend, Jamey Johnson was arrested in Williamson County, Tennessee, with a bond set at $5,000. Jamey was charged with speeding and one felony count of a controlled substance . . . whichwas marijuana. Jamey was caught with somewhere between a half an ounce and 10 pounds of pot. But in the state of Tennessee, having that much is a class E felony, punishable by up to SIX years in prison.

Jelly Roll is headlining the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Vancouver February 16th.  They’re like the Olympics, but for veterans and active-duty military. He announced it with a silly promo. Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 after he went to a similar event in the U.S. called the Warrior Games. The joke in the promo is that Jelly won’t do the show unless he gets to give Harry a tattoo.  Harry suggests something on his lower back.  But Jelly says that when it’s your first tattoo, the neck is best. It’s a tattoo of the Invictus Games logo . . . “I Am” . . . with Jelly’s name at the bottom. And no . . . . . . it doesn’t happen
