Noah Kahan was doing back-to-back sold out shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena recently, and on night two he brought out Kelsea Ballerini for the encore to sing “Stick Season”. The internet seems to think she butchered it. Some of the comments include:
. . . “It’s like that drunk girl that won’t sit down at karaoke.”
. . . “Ma’am when the harmony is twice as loud as the melody it doesn’t work, I’m sorry.”
. . . “Nah she ruined this. Wasn’t in tune at all.”

Darius Rucker’s new memoir “Life’s Too Short” came out yesterday. He talks about breaking into country, his time with Hootie, and how he partied WAY too hard back then. He also finally broke his silence on his drug arrest in February, almost a year after being pulled over near Nashville for expired tags. “I had a little bit of pot, and I think a little bit of some mushrooms or something in the car, and [the cop] let me go. And a year later, I got a phone call from a buddy that said, ‘I think I just saw an arrest warrant for you.'” He says some friends in law enforcement told him it’s odd for that much time to pass, and asked if maybe he’d ticked somebody off or something. “I think somebody wanted to make an example out of me, and they did. I’m handling it with my lawyers and paying the price, and we’ll move on with our lives.”

It’s gonna be super fun.” She’ll be in Vegas for select dates from now until October 26th.
