@ericchurchmusic delivered an inspiring commenceme

@ericchurchmusic delivered an inspiring commencement speech using a guitar’s six strings as metaphors for life’s most important values at the University of North Carolina’s 2026 graduation ceremony on Saturday (May 9).

He emphasized faith as a foundation, family as daily support, and choosing the right partner as essential to a balanced life. Church also encouraged graduates to pursue ambition while remaining resilient through failure and to stay authentic, protect meaningful relationships, and embrace the unique voice only they can offer the world.

Happy Mother's Day! ❤

Luke Combs was presented with an honorary degree of music from Appalachian State University during Spring 2026 Commencement ceremonies yesterday (May 7) in Boone, North Carolina.

“In every sense, Luke Combs represents the character and heart of a Mountaineer,” ASU Chancellor Heather Norris said in a news release following the ceremony (in photo with Combs) “His story inspires our students to dream big, work hard, and always remember where they came from. He represents the very best of our university community: a life lived with purpose, driven by a commitment to excellence and a genuine care for others."

Combs was 21 credit hours short of graduating when he made the move to a country music career.

@dollyparton shared a video statement on social me

@dollyparton shared a video statement on social media on Monday (May 4) with an update on her health and that she will be postponing her Vegas residency until she improves further.

“I am here to give you an update on a few things going on in my life,” Parton opened with in her video statement. “First, it’s concerning my health. And I have some good news and a little bad news. The good news is I’m responding really well to meds and treatments and I’m improving every day."

Parton revealed that the medications are leaving her light headed, or "swimmy head" and she was not ready to perform at this time. She added that her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace that was rescheduled to September would be postponed again, as the original date started as December 2025.

“Now the bad news is it’s going to take me a little while before I’m up to stage performance level because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit swimmy headed, as my grandma used to say,” she explained. “And of course I can’t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five inch heels. And you know that I’m going to be wearing them. Not to mention all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big…personality. Lord, knows…that would make anybody swimmy headed.”
