Three years ago, he was working for a gas pipeline company with no real ambitions to be a musician - and now Bailey Zimmermanhas two big country hits, is touring with Morgan Wallen- and has his debut album ready to drop
Zimmerman announced his new album, "Religiously - The Album" will be coming out May 12th
Along with the announcement, he also dropped the title track
Tour riders - the things performers demand in the dressing room when they play a venue - can be simple or epic
Tim McGraw - a megastar who could probably ask for anything and everything - has a tour rider, but it's not what you'd expect from someone at his level
Items on his rider: Peanut M&M's (he just likes to eat one small bag); Mexican Coca-Colas (with the real cane sugar), tuna sandwiches and "Muscle Milk." Pretty basic stuff
Luke Combs already announced that his new track, "Five Leaf Clover," was dropping today - but he released a clip of him performing it live a day early
He wrote the track after a literal four-leaf clover hunt near his home; he found one, but then his friend found a FIVE leaf clover, and he jotted the phrase down as a potential song idea
After tossing it out to songwriters Jessi AlexanderandChase McGill, the three realized they had something - and that something drops today
Kelsea Ballerini and Taylor Swiftgo way back - when Kelsea's first EP game out, Taylor gave it a huge boost by posting on her socials that she was listening to it non-stop
So no surprise that Kelsea is tracking the kickoff to Taylor's "Eras" tour - and actually stopped her own concert to ask a Taylor-related question of the sold-out crowd
"Is anyone stalking the "Eras Tour" - has it started? I'm gonna stalk it after this, but I have one question: Is 'Cruel Summer' on the setlist?"
Riley Green hit #1 earlier this year with the Thomas Rhettcollab, "Half Of Me" - and now he looks to duplicate this success on his own with a track he teased on Instagram this week
The song, "Talk To My Truck," is a classic wish-I-could-have-her-back tune Riley performed acoustically
Riley hasn't put out a full-length album since 2019, relying on single releases and collabs since then - so no word if this means an album is coming
It's been a minute since we've heard new music from Brothers Osborne- but that wait is about to end
Yesterday the duo released a live performance of a previously unheard song - with the intriguing caption, "Coming soon"
The track - about opposites attracting and how rewarding it is when they do - features rollercoaster imagery, and their Instagram post also featured a rollercoaster emoji
Gabby Barrett is here - her first album spawned hits and put her in the spotlight, but as any artist knows, it's not getting there but staying there - so her upcoming sophomore project is key
By all appearances, Gabby is coming out of the gate hard - teasing a new song that was co-written by superstar Luke Combs- and singing a snippet of it acapella on Instagram for excited fans
Other than Combs' involvement, she's made no other details available, including the other writers or even the title - just that it will be on her upcoming second album
In a move that shocked the country music industry, superstarMiranda Lambertannounced yesterday that she and her long-time record label, Sony Music, are parting ways
Miranda announced on Twitter that, while she had been with the label since her teens, she "wouldn't be true to myself if I wasn't constantly looking for the next challenge and a new way to stretch my creativity"
She made no announcement as to how she will proceed career-wise, but did make clear that she was grateful to the label that allowed her to "share her story with the world"
Morgan Wallen has experienced the highest highs and lowest lows in his relatively brief country career - so any advice he'd have for new artists is worth listening to
Bailey Zimmerman says Morgan gave him one piece of advice he plans on taking to heart
"One day, Morg told me, ‘I’ve only ever canceled one show. I’ve played shows no matter what. This is the reason you do this. You’ve got to work really hard,’ Bailey says
Morgan Wallen continues to own country music - and, currently, all music
His new album "One Thing At A Time," as expected, debuted at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart - but also debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Albums chart which covers all genres
Notching over half a million in equivalent sales, it's the biggest one week for album sales so far in 2023
It's been almost 25 years since "That Don't Impress Me Much" was a huge hit for Shania Twain
With that much time passing, if she were to write the song again now - who would take the place of Brad Pittin the lyrics - if anyone?
Though she name-checked Ryan Reynoldsin a live performance at the People's Choice Awards last December, her answer - at least today - is Channing Tatum
Tim McGrawhas duetted with many famous singers:Faith Hill, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kenny Chesney, Nelly and others. But his latest duet partner is someone you haven't heard of
Michael Hugo is just an average dad - who was diagnosed with Stage Four cancer
Feeling it was a diagnosis that would keep him from seeing his young daughters eventually getting married, he reached out to the country singer to help him with a special project
Tim immediately agreed to the request - and together, the two sang the song "My Little Girl" - so that his two daughters would have one last gift from their father on their wedding days
Luke CombsandMorgan Wallen are two of the biggest country stars on the planet - so have the two ever thought about, you know...teaming up?
Actually, yes, says Luke. "We’ve just never really landed on a song that I think that we both love that we wanna do, you know? I don’t think it’s outta the question at all. I think it would be awesome."
If they do team up, it might be awhile before we hear the results. Morgan just released his new album last week, and Luke's new album is coming out March 24
