Miranda Lambert released a new album last year. Postcards From Texas was her first album since changing labels. The country star had been with Sony Nashville for twenty years before signing with Republic Records in early 2024. But she decided to take it easy this summer. Instead of headlining a tour of her own, she joined Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem tour for several stops.

The tour performed in Seattle earlier this week. Concertgoers close to the stage were shocked when they got an eyeful of Miranda Lambert’s backside due to a wardrobe issue.

Miranda Lambert Leaves Little To The Imagination In Daring Look

Miranda Lambert launched a clothing brand called Idyllwind in 2018. The line includes ‘country chic’ clothing, boots, jewelry, and more. The singer often models for the brand’s social media.

During the hot summer tour, Miranda Lambert has been keeping cool by pairing...

Morgan Wallen is in the middle of his I’m The Problem tour. The tour came a year after he was arrested for drunkenly throwing a chair off the roof of a bar in Nashville. But it seems the crowd might be the real problem. One fan got overly aggressive with the singer at one recent show. Stay on this page to see the shocking video.

Morgan Wallen’s Tour Kicked Off With Sold Out Shows

Morgan Wallen’s comeback after controversy is officially successful. The singer faced cancellation in 2021 after being caught dropping the n-word on camera. His fans stood by him and his record sales actually skyrocketed after the scandal.

But he landed in hot water again in 2024. This time with the police. He was arrested in April 2024 for throwing a chair off the roof of Eric Church’s Nashville bar. He was sentenced to seven days incarceration and two years of probation.

Garth Brooks hasn’t made many public appearances since a lawsuit with serious allegations came out against him. He was accused by a former hairdresser of rape and sexual assault. The legal issue is still pending.

But the shocking accusations against him weren’t going to make Garth Brooks hide when he could help. Texas was hit hard by a flash flood in early July that cost hundreds of lives. Garth Brooks made an unannounced appearance. Keep reading for all the details, including how much was raised for the flood victims.

Texas Still Mourning Lost Flood Victims

While the rest of the country was enjoying the July Fourth weekend, a community in Texas was dealing with an unthinkable tragedy. Unexpected flash flooding tore through the Texas Hill Country region, which is about two hours from Austin, Texas.

The flood cost the lives of over 100 confirmed victims. Hundreds more are still missing.

When it comes to connecting with fans, Miranda Lambert knows how to leave a lasting impression. At a recent concert, the country music superstar took generosity to the next level, gifting one lucky fan a priceless souvenir that will be remembered for years to come.

Miranda Lambert’s New Song With Chris Stapleton

Miranda Lambert released her tenth studio album in late 2024. Postcards From Texas was her first album since leaving Sony Music Nashville for Republic Records in 2023. She’s been with Sony since the beginning of her career.

But her latest album isn’t the only new music she’s putting out. She dropped a new duet with Chris Stapleton on July 11. Miranda Lambert then made a surprise appearance at his concert in SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on July 19 to perform it for the first time.

She revealed on SiriusXM’s The Highway how the surprising duet came about.

Morgan Wallen has dropped a remix of his single, “Miami,” featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.

“Miami” was originally released as part of Wallen’s recent LP, I’m the Problem, and incorporates elements of Keith Whitley’s 1985 hit “Miami, My Amy.” The song was produced by Charlie Handsome, with the remix featuring new verses from Weezy and Ross.

Wallen teased the idea of adding a rapper onto the song during an interview in April. “It seemed like it could use a rapper on there,” he said of the track.

Rolling Stone debuts its new podcast Nashville Now, a weekly audio and video production recorded in Nashville that dissects all things country: from the latest news and must-hear songs to the cultural and political issues that are defining the genre today.

The first episode looks at Willie Nelson’s subtle but clear message of support for immigrants this summer: The country music legend has been showing his 1986 music video for “Living in the Promiseland,” a clip structured around images of immigrants arriving in the U.S., before his headlining performance...

Country music singer Morgan Wallen is continuing his 2025 “I’m The Problem Tour.”

The North American stadium tour began on June 20 at the Nrg Stadium in Houston. Making stops in 10 cities, Walden will play two nights at the majority of venues, excluding Madison, Wisconsin, which presently only has one performance scheduled. The tour will conclude on September 13 in Edmonton, Alberta.

Wallen will be joined by a variety of rotating direct support, including Miranda Lambert, Koe Wetzel, Thomas Rhett, and Brooks & Dunn. The show will also feature opening acts, including Ella Langley, Anne Wilson, Corey Kent and Gavin Adcock.

Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton have linked up for a dreamy new duet, “A Song to Sing.”

With its dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion, “A Song to Sing” feels almost like an homage to one of country’s great duets, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ 1983 gem, “Islands in the Stream.” On their tune, Lambert and Stapleton trade lyrics before uniting in booming harmony on the chorus: “You are a part of me/Baby you’re the heart of me/Together we can write a song to sing/And in...

American Idolfans don't want Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan back as judges for season 24, and they have some ideas about which superstar singers could take their places. American Idol season 23 welcomed back judges Luke and Lionel Richie, who've been with the singing competition series since ABC revived it in 2018. However, after seven seasons, Katy Perry left the show to focus on her own music career and season 4 winner and country music superstar Carrie took her place.

Kacey Musgraves Suffers Gruesome Injury On Stage

Bonnaroo organizers are addressing fan blowback regarding refunds for the canceled 2025 installment of the festival, which was cut short by rain last weekend. They’re also refraining from announcing future dates of the Manchester, Tennessee, fest.

Country star Miranda Lambert married Brendan McLoughlin in 2019. Their relationship surprised a lot of people because it was kept private until after the wedding. They’d met just months before when the NYPD officer worked security at her appearance on Good Morning America. She was previously married to country artist Blake Shelton, but they divorced in 2015 after four years of marriage.

Miranda Lambert’s second marriage hasn’t been smooth sailing. But during a break from her tour, the couple went on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure together. Stay on this page for all the details and see the stunning photos.

Miranda Lambert Tours For A Good Cause

Miranda Lambert wrapped up her “Velvet Rodeo” Las Vegas residency after almost two years. The residency kept getting extended due to fan demand. The singer has a new album to promote, her first with her new record label. She left Sony Nashville in 2023 after twenty years.

Kelly Clarkson is heading to primetime for special edition episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show later this year. Four brand-new episodes of Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson will premiere on August 19, August 26, September 2, and September 9 on NBC at 10 p.m. Et/Pt. The specials will feature Clarkson sitting down with Gloria Estefan, the Jonas Brothers, Lizzo, and Teddy Swims to discuss all things life and music. “The conversations are a front-row pass for Kelly Clarkson to engage with some of her favorite celebrities and examine both their music and personal lives,” an NBC press release reads. “The specials are a forum where iconic voices meet heartfelt storytelling through unfiltered conversation and sung in an intimate, unplugged setting.” Songs & Stories originated as a special episode format of The Kelly Clarkson Show, with past guests including Babyface, Alanis Morissette, and P!Nk. Clarkson and Miranda Lambert even went viral with their cover of Chappell Roan‘s “Good Luck,...

Based on a recent round of reporting, one might think that Miranda Lambert has every reason to be singing a sad tune right about now.

As you might have seen on TikTok, Miranda’s husband, Brendan McLoughlin, was spotted hanging out at a bar in Nashville with one arm wrapped around a mystery blonde.

Later in this same footage, the same woman was seen grinding in front of the retired police officer — and then the two hugged.

“Miranda Lambert, come get your man,” the text read over the video read.

Maybe not, as it turns out.

Shortly after this video went viral and chatter of a possible Miranda Lambert divorce started to run rampant on social media,...

What was set to be another legendary four-day celebration of music, culture, and community at the Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, was cut dramatically short due to extreme weather conditions. Following a vibrant kickoff on Thursday, the remainder of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was canceled after the National Weather Service predicted steady, hazardous rain and thunderstorms that would make for treacherous camping and exit conditions.

Still, even one day on the Farm can be magical. The opening day brought together a unique mix of rising stars and powerhouse headliners, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that now stands as the sole chapter of Bonnaroo 2025. Fans were treated to the indie stylings of Atlanta-based emo-folk duo Hey, Nothing and the dreamy sounds of socially conscious shoegazers Wisp, while Marcus King and his band delivered a soulful, fiery performance that had the crowd swaying.

Ella Langley had one of the biggest hits in 2024. She’s still reaping the benefits with multiple ACM awards. Despite her massive success, the up-and-coming country star revealed a battle with imposter syndrome. Keep reading for more on how she overcomes her mental health struggles.

Newcomer Ella Langley Dominates 2025 ACM Awards

Ella Langley isn’t a household name like many of today’s country music stars like Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan. However, if she stays on track, she will be very soon. She had the most nominations at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards. Ella Langley dominated the ceremony, nabbing multiple awards and performing twice.

She earned eight nominations in total, including New Female Artist of the Year, which she won. Six of her nominations were from her stunning duet with Riley Green. Their chemistry was so good on “You Look Like You Love Me” that fans were convinced they were dating.

Co-working spaces have been around for at least a decade. They had a popularity boom during the Covid pandemic of 2020 and 2021, when remote work was essential for many businesses and employees. While any kind of work can be done in a co-working space, country artist Miranda Lambert put a new spin on the trend with a collaborative space for artists to write and socialize to build networking connections. She took to social media to share a video of an incredible one-of-a-kind experience she created for musicians.

Miranda Lambert Celebrates Huge Career Milestone

Many TV competitions have tried to recreate the success of American Idol. When she was an up-and-coming musician, Miranda Lambert was a contestant on the singing competition Nashville Star. She finished in third place on the show in 2003. Despite not winning, she became a household name within five years of appearing on the show.

Miranda Lambert Marks Kerosene Album’s Anniversary With Shocking Admission

Miranda Lambert made the decision to leave her long-time label in 2023. She’d been with Sony from the beginning of her career but needed a change. She signed with Republic Records. Her first album with the new label came in 2024. Last week the singer performed “Run,” a single from Postcards From Texas, at the ACM awards.

Even though she’s left the old label behind, Miranda Lambert has forgotten how she got where she is now. 2025 marks 20 years since her debut album, Kerosene, was released. The album had a few singles, but only the title track was a hit. “Kerosene” peaked at number 15 on the country music charts.

Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem hasn’t even been out for 24 hours, and it’s already the most-streamed country album of 2025. On Friday, Spotify confirmed the news on social media, celebrating the milestone.

“Morgan Wallen just made country history—again,” Spotify wrote on X with the statistic. The service did not share additional information on the streaming numbers, but at least eight of the LP’s songs had well over 8 million streams at time of publication.

Leading the charge for Wallen’s fourth album, a trio of songs...

Morgan Wallen has dropped his new album, I’m the Problem, which includes the highly-discussed collaboration with Tate McRae. The crooning ballad sees the pair sharing vocals as they sing about a temporary relationship between two broken people.

Wallen announced the duet last month, causing McRae’s fans to criticize her decision to work with the country singer. “If McRae had a country-pop pivot in mind, there were plenty of options that wouldn’t place her next to one of country’s most radioactive stars,” Rolling Stone wrote at the time.

Just before the final battle, American Idol has narrowed down its roster to just five competitors, and it does not include the show’s youngest participant. Following the weekend’s Disney Night and Mother’s Day episodes, the ABC music reality show announced that it is moving forward to the next round without Mattie Pruitt and Gabby Samone.

Pruitt, an Eaglesville, Tennessee, resident, was the youngest contestant of American Idol Season 23. The rising star, who took the nation by storm through her musical genius, recently turned 16. Apart from Pruitt, America’s vote also sent back home Baltimore’s Gabby Samone, who was the last remaining Black woman left in the competition.

Toward the end of the episode, it was revealed that more than 20 million votes were received, which decided the future of the American Idol contestants.

Three generations of musicians took hold of the 2025 ACM Awards stage as Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson delivered the debut live performance of their collaboration “Trailblazer.”

The three artists took the stage in matching brown suede and turquoise, with an open road behind them. They harmonized their collaboration perfectly, standing in formation and singing directly to one another.

Chris Stapleton’s “It Takes a Woman,” off last year’s ACM Album of the Year winner Higher, is a solemn, honky-tonk-on-Prozac song of devotion that digs deep into male vulnerability. While it’s never been released as a single, its momentum has only built since Higher dropped more than a year and a half ago. And during Thursday night’s ACM Awards, Stapleton gave it yet another boost by delivering a deeply poignant and romantic performance of the ballad.
