“CMA Country Christmas”airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. on ABC. It’s co-hosted by Trisha Yearwood and Amy Grant, and will feature performances by Cody Johnson . . . Jon Pardi . . . Ashley McBryde, and many more. Cody gets to show a little bit more of a Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin side of himself. He said, “In my live shows, I try to be very electric, jumping off of risers and keeping the crowd right here in the palm of my hand . . .But the reason why I chose ‘White Christmas’ and ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas’, is to show a different side of my voice that you wouldn’t normally hear.”
When Morgan Wallen threw a chair from the balcony at Eric Church’s bar in Nashville back in April, tourists flooded the spot looking for the scene of the crime. A sign was even put up on the rooftop commemorating the act that said, “Don’t even think about it. You are not Morgan Wallen.” The infamous sign has now been REMOVED. Morgan’s court date for three felony counts of reckless endangerment is on the 12th. Some people online think it was taken down so as not to undermine Morgan’s remorse. He certainly will be remorseful if he gets any jail time. According to a source, the best he could hope for is a 30 to 60-day sentence. But it’s all on the judge, and whether or not he’s going to make an example out of Morgan.
When you see Luke Combs, there’s a very strong chance that he’ll be wearing a black button-up Columbia shirt. It’s kind of his signature look. So, if you had to guess, how many of those Columbia shirts do you think Luke owns? The answer is around 150 to 200. Luke recently appeared on the show, “It’s All Country” hosted by Luke Bryan, and he got asked if the Columbia shirt was ever going away . . . Combs said, “I think it just goes forever, man. It’s just too simple.”
Kacey Musgraves was making her way through the crowd at her show on Friday when a fan just seems to be having fun by reaching out to grab her arm. She may have also caught her HAIR by accident too. Kacey IMMEDIATELY pulled away and looked very annoyed. She basically mouthed “WTF?” . . . and later said into the mic more profanity that she shouldn’t have. On social media Kacey said, “Just because an artist . . . or any human . . . is within reach, you have zero right to treat them like an object.” She added that the situation was, “dealt with.”
