Miranda Lambert was recently performing in concert when she stopped to scold a group of fans who were taking a selfie. She said, “I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry. These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It’s ticking me off a little bit. I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight.” YIKES!!
Who’s singing his own songs with a karaoke machine?…it’s Toby Keith who was recently in an Uber that had its own karaoke machine. He sang his own song, ‘Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue (The Angry American)’, during the ride.
Sorry Swifties, but Jake Owen says he’s NOT the guy Taylor Swift was singing about in her 2010 song “Sparks Fly.” The rumor surfaced again because it’s one of the tracks on “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” which came out July 7th.
If you’re someone who plans WAY ahead, then you may already know that tickets for the “Opry Country Christmas” shows are already on sale. It’s nine nights of holiday music . . . and this year’s performers include Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Lady A, and Chris Janson. Details are at Opry.com.
