    Audio
    Tyler Hubbard

    EMI Records Nashville recording artist Tyler Hubbard is gearing up for the January 27th release of his debut solo album, Tyler Hubbard, and today released a new track, “Me For Me,” which also has an accompanying unofficial music video. The song was written by Hubbard and fellow artists and friends, Russell Dickerson and Thomas Rhett, and was produced by Hubbard and Jordan Schmidt. The song highlights the beautiful parts of a relationship and loving people for who they are.

    PRE-ORDER TYLER HUBBARD DIGITAL ALBUM | HERE

    “‘Me For Me’” was written with my good buddies, Russell Dickerson and Thomas Rhett. We set aside a few hours and just thought we’d see what happens. We ended up writing ‘Me For Me,’ which quickly became one of my favorites because it really felt personal and real. I love when an unexpected song falls out of thin air, especially with two of your best buds. I couldn’t wait to get into the studio with (producer) Jordan and bring the song to life.”

     

    With 20 No.1 singles on country radio, countless awards, and sold-out tours, Tyler Hubbard has already had a remarkable career as a songwriter and as one half of multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line. Now Hubbard is embarking on a solo career. Hubbard’s debut solo album, Tyler Hubbard, features his hit debut solo single “5 Foot 9,” which already hit No. 1 at radio, was certified Gold by the RIAA, and has nearly 270M global streams. It also features Hubbard’s current single, “Dancin’ In The Country,” which already has over 30M global streams and is now climbing the Top 40 at country radio. In anticipation of his debut solo album, this past summer Hubbard released a six-song project, Dancin’ In The Country, which debuted with over 10,000 SPS units (sales plus streaming) making it the second best-selling country EP debut of the year. It also debuted at No.1 on the Heatseekers Albums chart, No. 6 on the Current Country Albums sales chart, and No. 107 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Since releasing his debut single, Hubbard has released nine unofficial music videos. Watch all of Hubbard’s videos HERE.

    Tyler Hubbard (Me For Me) OC: …take away. :43
    “So, what I want fans to take away from ‘Me For Me’ is ultimately, I hope they get to know me a little bit more. It’s very literal (ha). It’s very much who I am and who I was, and also the beauty of finding the right person who loves you for you, and I remember finding that with my wife Hayley, and just almost being surprised and shocked that she didn’t expect me to change this, change that and I had had previous relationships that were kind of that way. So, I met her, and I just thought I’m just gonna keep doing what I’m doing and eventually she’s gonna ask me to change and tweak some things, if you will, but she never did. And I just thought that was really special, and I always felt like she really just loved me for me and so that’s kind of the heart behind the song and I hope that’s what the fans take away.”

  • KYLIE MORGAN CHANNELED TAYLOR SWIFT IN HER FIRST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE.

    Audio
    Kylie Morgan

    Kylie Morgan has performed her own songs live thousands of times, but for her first public performance in Oklahoma several years ago, she channeled global superstar Taylor Swift.

    “I went to Walmart and got a very gold, glittery 12-dollar dress, and my first performance in front of a crowd was at this little place in Oklahoma called the Rodeo Opry,” recalls Kylie. “And it was a Friday night performance where they had the new up-and-comers kind of get their feet wet on stage and I sang ‘Picture To Burn’ by Taylor Swift (laughs) in my little sparkly gold dress and cowboy boots. And just knew from right then and there – I was so nervous, but it was such a thrilling experience, and it was like such an adrenaline high that I’d never had. I was a gymnast for 10 years and so even after gymnastic meets I didn’t feel that, and it was the first time that I’ve just felt so alive and I knew from then on, that’s what I wanted to do.”

    Kylie is currently on her honeymoon with husband Jay Allen, while she’s heating up country radio and the streaming charts with her single, “If He Wanted To He Would.”

  • REBA McENTIRE PREMIERES HER NEW LIFETIME MOVIE, THE HAMMER, THIS WEEKEND.

    Audio
    Reba McEntire

    Reba McEntire enters the courtroom on Saturday (January 7th) in the new Lifetime movie, The Hammer. The multi-talented superstar plays Kim Wheeler, an outspoken lawyer who is appointed to be a judge for Nevada’s 5th District, making her one of the few traveling judges left in America. The previous judge died under suspicious circumstances, and now Kim finds herself  dispensing justice between Reno and Las Vegas, as well as helping her sister (played by Reba co-star and friend, Melissa Peterman) who is accused of murdering the former judge. Her real-life boyfriend (and Big Sky co-star) Rex Linn also stars in the film.

    Known as an iconic singer and storyteller, Reba finds acting a different kind of creative outlet. “It’s another creative outlet. That’s why I love acting.  When I did ‘Annie Get Your Gun,’ I got to sing, I got to act, but I also got to be another character. I wasn’t Reba McEntire. So that’s what I really enjoy doing – being something outside my character.”

    This is Lifetime’s second collaboration with Reba who also starred in and executive produced her 2021 holiday film, Reba McEntire’s Christmas in Tune.

    With her run on ABC’s Big Sky: Deadly Trails, Reba has delved into a darker place with her complex character Sunny Barnes, who some might say is a bad person, while others see the character as a mother protecting her family.

    She definitely plays a good person and a steward of justice in The Hammer, which you can catch this Saturday (January 7th) beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT on Lifetime.

    You can also catch Reba on tour this spring. She recently announced 14 additional dates, featuring special guests Terri Clark and The Isaacs. The spring run will kick off March 9th in Jacksonville and will conclude at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, marking Reba’s first time playing the iconic venue.

  • JORDAN DAVIS’ “WORLD” HAS CHANGED SINCE GETTING MARRIED AND BECOMING A FATHER.

    Audio
    Jordan Davis

    Jordan Davis is poised to top the country charts with his latest smash hit, “What My World Spins Around.” The song, which he wrote with Matt Dragstrem and Ryan Hurd, is a look at how his priorities have shifted since becoming a husband and father (to daughter Eloise and son Locklan).

    “Once we landed on that idea, I think it was Ryan’s idea, we kind of thought back to younger us,” says Jordan. “The things that my world revolved around were sports, football, hunting and fishing, that was number-one, that was priority number-one in everything, and even too when me and Kristen had just started dating, you know, it was still music. Music was – and she’ll tell you. She’s like yeah, I could tell he was big in his career and wanted music to work out and that probably took priority sometimes. And to have ‘What My World Spins Around,’ maybe it could be the kiddos showing up that I’m kind of like, Man, now everything I do is because of them and for Kristen. I think that’s one reason I like this song so much. It’s such a look back on what I used to be about to where I am now.”

    “What My World Spins Around,” as well as his two-week chart-topper  and CMA Song of the Year “Buy Dirt,” will be included on Jordan’s forthcoming album, Bluebird Days, which arrives February 17th.

    Brothers Osborne (New Year) OC: (TJ) …next month. :44
    JOHN: “I think it’s kind of funny how we spend literally the last moment and the very first moment of every year being extremely intoxicated, extremely, because you don’t want to wait until like 12:30 to get your buzz on. You’ve got to do it before midnight, and then once midnight happens, you’re like, ‘Omigod! Now it’s time to celebrate even more.’ Debauchery is the literally bookending your entire year.” TJ: “I love how everyone starts the year off with diets and then we end the year with like excessive amounts of food. And then you get to the end of the year, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start a diet on the 1st, so I’m going to eat everything that’s in front of me.’ I love it.” JOHN: “And come February 1st, ‘what diet?’” [laughs] TJ: “What diet? I’ll start it next month.” [laughs]

    Dierks Bentley (NYE From Nashville) OC: …watching it. :52
    “Nashville’s just, people just can’t get enough of it. I mean they’re just crazy about this city. They’re crazy about the music. You can feel it from the, well, you can feel it from the real estate housing market to Lower Broadway, and it’s just unbelievable. So, I think, I just know people across the country if they had a choice to watch – nothing against New York – but that or actually see their favorite city on TV with all of their favorite artists performing from the big, Bicentennial Mall stage to Miranda’s bar, my bar, Luke’s bar, Aldean’s bar, I mean it’s unbelievable. I can’t imagine it won’t be the most exciting thing to see on TV for all of the country fans out there. It’s long overdue to have, for our city to have a New Year’s Eve show. And again, nothing against the other cities or whatnot, but it’s just they’re not Nashville. And Nashville, it’s hot. It’s hot right now, and it has been for a long time. So, this is gonna be a lot of fun to be a part of, and I think people across the country are gonna love watching it.”

    Dierks Bentley (New Year’s traditions as a kid) OC: …So fun. :30

We were usually up in a little cabin up in the mountains, and we had a black and white TV and we’d watch the ball drop. I would’ve rather been back home in Phoenix with all my friends going to a lot of parties, but my parents kind of sequestered us in the mountains. So, not a lot of fun traditions growing up. Now, I love watching the Nashville New Year’s Eve show. So fun.”

You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time.”

    Audio / Jon Pardi's go-to hangover cure is a bloody mary or two.

    Jon Pardi (hangover cure) OC: …deal with it. :20
    “My hangover cure is Bloody Marys, but be careful – because once you have a couple, don’t go to beer, because if you go to beer, you’re gonna start drinking again and you’ll end up a morning drunk. OR if you want to go the non-alcoholic route, there’s nothing you can do for hangovers. [laughs] You just go deal with it.”

We’re boys, you know? So, we just literally walked right over and burned the house down. That was one of my favorite New Year’s Eve memories, ‘cause I got to see my sister and brother-in-law get married and that was such a great, great time, and then me and my older cousin and best friend, we ended up at Waffle House that night, so it was good.”

    Audio / Tyler Hubbard recalls probably his most "epic" New Year's Eve.

    Download

    Tyler Hubbard (New Year’s memory) OC: …comes to mind. :24
    “Well, this is probably a classic answer, but we did play New Year’s in New York and watched the ball drop and it was a big, special moment, one of those kind of check it off the bucket list type of moments, and we did that. And it is incredible. The energy’s amazing, and it’s super cold, but we had a great time. When I think of epic New Year’s, that’s definitely, it’s probably the first memory that comes to mind.”

  • CHRISTMAS 2022: Maddie & Tae

    Audio
    Maddie & Tae

    Platinum-selling duo Maddie & Tae released their first ever holiday EP, We Need Christmas, in 2020. The six-track project features two originals, “Merry Married Christmas” and the title track “We Need Christmas,” plus beloved holiday favorites including “This Christmas,” “Holly Jolly Christmas,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” and “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”

    Maddie Font says some of her favorite traditions with husband Jonah include a real tree, wooden nutcrackers and more. “We always get a real tree every year, because Jonah’s a stickler for a real tree thing. We always shave off a little part of the bottom of the tree and make an ornament out of the little thing, so we’ll put the year on all of them and collect them. We’ve actually just started collecting nutcrackers, which is super weird, but we name them all. Oh, and White Elephant. We play White Elephant on the Font side of things, and I always end up with the best gift somehow, because Jonah and I tag team White Elephant.”

    Taylor Kerr says one of her favorite and most personal Christmas memories was in 2017, and it involves a new family member making her appearance right before the holiday.

    “This is gonna be a personal one for me. Christmas 2017 was right around the time my niece was born,” says Tae. “She was born on December 11th, so right before Christmas, she was like the best Christmas gift ever, so basically I got to spend the whole month of December with her and my sister-in-law and brother, just holding that baby. So, that’s probably going to be one of my favorite Christmas memories ever.”

    Maddie & Tae (Christmas music) OC: …so happy. :19
    “What makes Christmas music so enjoyable and so fun to listen to is just how classic it is. There’s songs that you grew up listening to that some of your favorite artists end up singing or there’s a song that reminds you of a memory. It’s just very nostalgic and just the instrumentation is just so happy.”

    Maddie & Tae (favorite Christmas gifts) OC: …favorite Christmas. :40
    MADDIE: “My favorite Christmas gift as a child was definitely my karaoke machine. My sister and I, we have so many videos of us just, I mean I can’t even believe it’s even lasted. That karaoke machine, I mean, it was hanging in there for like 10 years. Like, it was holding on for dear life, because I was using it every single day.” (laughs) TAE: “My favorite Christmas gift as a child – most people probably don’t really know this about me, but I actually collect snow globes, and as a child I started out collecting dolphin snow globes. It’s very weird, and then it evolved to angels and now it’s a Christmas tradition that every year for Christmas, I get another snow globe. So, it started out as a child, so it’s my favorite gift.”

    MADDIE: “If we could be any movie character, who would we be? I think I would want to be a part of Clark Griswold’s vibe. Like, he’s so funny. I don’t know. I’d want to be Clark Griswold’s wife ‘cause I feel like Jonah is Clark Griswold, and that would be really funny, and she just allows his Christmas chaos happen and just embraces it.” TAE: “And you would totally do the fork thing where ‘Oh, this is so yummy.’ (laughs) It’s so you.” (both laugh)
