Brad Paisley provided one of the most powerful mom Brad Paisley provided one of the most powerful moments of the Coca Cola 600 yesterday when he honored Kyle Busch with his performance of "When I Get Where I’m Going" before the race in Charlotte.

Then, NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell standing with Samantha and 11-year-old Brexton and delivered words that silenced the entire stadium. “Every racetrack was Kyle Busch’s home. He competed like he had something to prove every single race when in reality he had already proven everything.” Then he said three words that said it all. “Kyle Busch IS NASCAR.”

Brad’s performance connected so deeply because the song spoke directly to loss, family, and remembrance in a way words alone never could.
@officialalanjackson took the stage to sing his Gr @officialalanjackson took the stage to sing his Grammy Award-winning hit, “Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)” for the PBS National Memorial Day Concert on Sunday night (May24).

The National Memorial Day Concert featured an all-star lineup of performers who gathered in Washington, D.C. to pay tribute to U.S. military personnel, veterans, Gold Star families, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Among those who performed were Jackson, Jamey Johnson, and Mickey Guyton, along with Andy Grammer, Laura Osnes, and more.

Jackson couldn't attend the event in person, so he recorded his performance at the Ryman Auditorium. It was the second time that he performed for the National Memorial Day Concert. He also sang “Where Were You” for the event in 2021.

Hosted by Gary Sinise and Mary McCormack, the concert also recognized the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. 

Jackson’s performance comes just one month before he will officially retire from touring.

It sounds like @rileyduckman is definitely ready f It sounds like @rileyduckman is definitely ready for another @ellalangleymusic collaboration. When asked on Taste of Country Nights if he'd like to pursue a duets album with Ella, he answered: "I don’t know how we wouldn’t entertain that."

"We’ve had such a great track record, and we were fortunate to be on tour together, too. She was out on the road with me when we had those two songs, and that doesn’t happen very often." Riley added, "I'm pretty open to any collaborations at this point because they've worked really well for me in the past."
@lukecombs was in Wisconsin last weekend where he @lukecombs was in Wisconsin last weekend where he performed two sold-out nights at Lambeau Field. Before his second show he stopped by a lemonade stand he stumbled across on Saturday (May 16th) in Manitowoc County. He was in the area golfing at a spot called Whistling Straits in Sheboygan.

Golfing can make you thirsty, so he stopped at this lemonade stand, run by three young boys. He asked for four BUBBL'R drinks and left a hefty tip - $120 bucks! The boys said they didn't recognize Combs at first, but when they saw all of the cameras, they knew he was someone famous.
Reba McEntire stopped by the Nashville VA Medical Reba McEntire stopped by the Nashville VA Medical Center to surprise patients with a special visit, courtesy of the nonprofit Musicians On Call. Reba was joined by Terri Clark, and the two performed songs and made room visits together, even bringing with them a special Grand Ole Opry mic.

“Having the opportunity to visit the VA Hospital here in Nashville, room to room, with Terri Clark and Musicians On Call was an emotional moment for me,” McEntire said in a statement. “Music is so healing and getting to witness that firsthand was a gift to me." 

This was Clark's third time working with the organization and her second time visiting the Nashville VA Medical Center. “It’s great doing it by myself, but to see people’s faces when they see Reba walking through the door, all of them,” she said. “It’s just been unbelievable.”

McEntire stated that it was “impossible” to choose her favorite moment from the day, but she really enjoyed thanking the veterans “for all their service and the things they did for us.”

"What an overwhelming honor it is to step into that circle that carries so much history, legacy, and heart within country music," she stated.

"As a little girl, this was one of those dreams that felt far too big to even speak out loud., she continued. "Yet somehow, the Lord has continued to write a story bigger than anything I could have imagined for myself.  There truly couldn’t be a more meaningful place to step into this next chapter than the Grand Ole Opry."
