Mickey Guyton and Maddie & Tae performed during Thursday night’s (November 30th) National Christmas Tree Lighting on the Ellipse, on the grounds of the White House in Washington, D.C. Mickey, who hosted the ceremony, also helped President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden flip the switch to light the tree. The ceremony dates back to President Calvin Coolidge in 1923 to kick off Holiday celebrations in the Nation’s Capital.

Kacey Musgraves performed an achingly beautiful rendition of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” during the NBC special, Christmas at Graceland, in the first-ever live concert from Elvis Presley’s iconic home earlier this week. Other performers included Post Malone, Lainey Wilson, Kane Brown, John Legend and Lana del Ray, and also featured never-before-seen home movies and photos. Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keough, hosted the event.

The War And Treaty (Michael and Tanya Trotter) performed a powerfully stunning version of “If I Can Dream” during the special. Elvis performed the song at the end of his famous ’68 Special to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was killed in Memphis just a few months prior.

Graceland, you are so magical for more reasons than one. We were so honored to sing “If I Can Dream” – a song not really known as a traditional Christmas classic, but one that is very dear to our hearts.

Many may not know that Elvis decided to sing this song to close his …

Dierks posted a heartfelt message of gratitude on his Instagram, writing, “Thank you Billy for lending your talents. Been fun to watch your career explode dude since we recorded this. It must have been the collab!! Haha. The song actually started off pretty grassy with Billy, @sambushband @bryansuttond28 @jerrydouglas on it (and my band). And then we went back in a year later and gave it a little more of a country vibe. Thanks to my friends @jimbeavers and my pal @charlieworsham for writing it and letting me make it my own. This song is why Charlie has been in our band the last two years. After he recorded the acoustic lick at the top, I remember asking him how in the hell are we gonna play this live on the road. @bhelson is on electric and there’s no way I can play it. He said, ‘Well I could come out and do it.’ And he did!! And he still is haha.”

Tyler Hubbard performed his latest single, “Back Then Right Now,” when he appeared on NBC’s TODAY Show on Tuesday morning (October 3rd). He chatted with the hosts about the song, saying, “It’s just a fun, carefree song about making the most of each moment, being present, living life.”

On Tuesday (October 3rd), several stars got into the holiday spirit as they took to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry House to tape the NBC special, “Christmas At The Opry,” hosted by Wynonna. Performers included Brenda Lee, Kelly Clarkson, Mickey Guyton, Chrissy Metz, Trace Adkins, BRELAND, Mitchell Tenpenney, Lauren Alaina and many others. “Christmas At The Opry” will air December 7th at 8pm ET/PT on NBC.

Kacey Musgraves is the latest artist to receive a wax doppleganger at Madame Tussauds in Nashville. It’s pretty uncanny how closely the wax figure mirrors the singer-songwriter down to the last detail, even wearing the white lace jumpsuit, jewelry (hoop earrings and rings) and heels she wore for her performance at the 2019 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Took a trip to uncanny valley lol @MadameTussauds Go see me in Nashville Xx pic.twitter.com/5GGfJstqEM

— K A C E Y (@KaceyMusgraves) September 28, 2023

The wax figurine took approximately six months to create by a team of 20 London-based artists, who worked very closely with Kacey and her glam team to encapsulate her exact measurements, hair color, eye color, skin tone and more.

“What an honor, I never even knew I wanted this to be a bucket list moment,” said Kacey in a press release. “You all did an amazing job.”

Guests can visit Musgraves’ new figure beginning Friday (September 29th), and in a completely interactive experience can sing along with some of her songs.

In a first reveal video posted by a fan account (trying to locate the original video at this time), Kacey marvels at the likeness of her wax figure.
