While Willie was still cutting his teeth in the industry in the late 1960s, his […]

Cody Johnson Says He Didn’t Want To Record “I’m Gonna Love You” Without Carrie Underwood: “In My Head, I Just Knew It’s Gotta Be Carrie”

Almost as if it was meant to be. Though it didn’t quite reach the meteoric heights of Riley Green and Ella Langley’s recent smash hit collaborations, “you look like you love me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” there’s absolutely no denying the success of Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood’s “I’m Gonna Love You” over the past year. Since its release on September 27, 2024, as the lead single off Johnson’s deluxe edition of Leather, the track has already racked up […]

‘Landman’ Actor James Jordan Says Working With Billy Bob Thornton & Sam Elliott Is The Best Acting Experience He’s Ever Had

High honor for Billy Bob and Sam Elliott. If there is one thing that Taylor Sheridan is going to do, it’s going to keep casting around that makes a meaningful impact on set. In his hit TV series, we often see actors from one cast overlap into another. We’ve seen it with Michelle Randolph, who starred in 1883 before taking on the role of Ainsley Norris in Landman. But there is one actor whom Taylor Sheridan consistently brings back, actor […]

One reason that the December 20 episode of SNL was notable was the departure of longtime cast member Bowen Yang. Another was the question of whether musical guest Cher was lip-syncing.

Downtown Nashville Street Reopens For The First Time Since 2020 Christmas Day Bombing

Finally reopen. It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 5 years since the horrific bombing in downtown Nashville on Christmas Day back in 2020. The RV bombing, carried out by Anthony Warner on the early morning hours of December 25, injured eight and caused millions of dollars in damage to nearby buildings, as well as knocking out cell phone and 911 service to many in the area for hours afterwards.
