The country music world shared the stage at the 2024 ACM Awards, where Post Malone performed songs from his upcoming country album, Dua Lipa joined Chris Stapleton for a duet, and Avril Lavigne and Noah Kahan partnered with country musicians onstage.
It almost felt like Beyoncé — who recently made history on the country charts with Cowboy Country — might pop up. She didn’t Thursday night, but host Reba McEntire did reference Queen Bey’s historic project during her opening monologue.
“We’re here to talk about country music and how everyone is invited and welcome here at country music’s party of the year. From Mother Maybelle to Cowboy Carter, country music is so big in 2024 that there’s room for everybody,” she said. “We all love country [music] and we all are country, and we’re keeping the circle unbroken, but growing it to even bigger and better.”

Lainey Wilson opened the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards with a one-two punch of country flair: a cover of Little Texas’s 1993 hit “God Blessed Texas” and the TV debut of her own “Hang Tight Honey.”
Flanked by her road band (with whom she recorded her upcoming album Whirlwind), Wilson, dazzling in red, roared through “Hang Tight Honey,” a high-octane country banger about reassuring your lover that you’re on your way home. “Just one more day to get through,” she sang. “Hang tight honey got a pocket full of...

Along with transforming his music career and topping the charts, Jelly Roll has been hard at work transforming his body, too. The Save Me singer has been putting in the work to melt the pounds. As a bonus, he picked one of the biggest nights in all of country music to show off all of his hard work.
Jelly Roll Is Larger Than Life
For many years, Jelly Roll’s larger-than-life personality matched his teddy bear physique. While his carrying some extra weight around has become an endearing part of his image, weight is something that Jelly Roll has struggled with for years.
The superstar has gone through several rounds of dropping weight, only to put it back on. This is a cycle that a lot of people can fall into, even those in the public eye. In Jelly’s case, he realized that he would have to get back...

“Maxton Hall College is not just a school. It is the school.”
James (Damian Hardung) and Ruby’s (Harriet Herbig-Matten) electric romance may be the primary focus of Maxton Hall — The World Between Us, but the school itself is just as important of a character. Based on the novel Save Me by Mona Kasten, Prime Video’s new German YA drama series utilizes its prep school setting to lay the groundwork for its central enemies-to-lovers romance.

Author Mona Kasten commented on the status of an English translation of the book Save Me, which inspired the recent Amazon Prime Video series Maxton Hall.
Save Me is the first of three novels, seemingly collectively called the Maxton Hall books. The books and the show both take place at the titular Maxton Hall private school, following Ruby Bell's journey of romance and secrecy.
Both takes on Maxton Hall are entirely in German, but English speakers can watch the new six-episode series either dubbed in English or in its original language with English subtitles.

Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) is pumped up after accomplishing his goal.
It’s no secret that the country music superstar has faced scrutiny for his appearance. For years, Jelly Roll has fielded unkind remarks about his heavily tattooed body and weight.

After the breakout year that Jelly Roll had in 2023, no one would blame him if he chose to coast into 2024 and rest on his recent accolades. However, after how many years it took Jelly to climb to the top, he is not letting anything stop him from continuing his success, even if that means working harder than his peers to achieve his goals.
When it comes to work ethic and keeping the train rolling, Jelly Roll recognizes that same fire and tenacity in fellow country artist, Lainey Wilson. Jelly Roll recently recalled running into Lainey Wilson back in 2023. At the time,...

Katy Perry is out after this season of American Idol wraps.
The announcement came before Season 22 debuted, and as the contestant pool narrows down and it gets closer to crowning a winner, there is some concern about who will step in and fill her seat at the table.
When ABC revived American Idol, the network brought together Katy, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan to work some television magic.
The trio has hosted the show since the revival in 2018, and after seven seasons, Katy is set to walk away.
While names have been tossed around here and there since her exit was announced, a recent mentor appears to top her list of who should replace her.
That’s right, Katy is here for Jelly Roll possibly taking over the third judge chair on the panel.

The announcement came before Season 22 debuted, and as the contestant pool narrows down and it gets closer to crowning a winner, there is some concern about who will step in and fill her seat at the table.

Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) is arguably one of the biggest stars in music right now.
While initially debuting in the country genre, he quickly crossed to the pop charts.
The Save Me singer has made no bones about who he is and where he came from. His looks and voice are authentic.
During his recent appearance on the CMT Music Awards, Jelly Roll was noticeably slimmer as he walked the red carpet with his wife, Bunnie Xo. The pair have been together through the ups and downs, and recently, there’s been more ups than downs.
Jelly Roll hasn’t changed much as his rise to fame continues to climb. He remains the same in fashion and looks but is slimming down.
In preparation for a 5k next month in Pasadena, California, the singer has put his health front and center and shed over 70 pounds.

American Idol took the show on the road to Hawaii as the judges continue to narrow down the number of contestants. However, it wasn’t all carefree vibes and catching waves for Jelly Roll, as the Save Me singer was in tears. So, what happened?
American Idol Took The Show On The Road To Hawaii
Ryan Seacrest, Luke Bryan, and the rest of the American Idol crew took the show on the road to beautiful Hawaii. It’s not a bad day at the office when you get to work from Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa. However, it wasn’t all good vibes, as they still have the job of continuing to narrow down the contestant pool.
Narrowing down the contestants is always a hard job. Sometimes, the smallest of details can mean the difference between making it to the next level and being sent home. Participants have to bring their A-game every single time,...

Fans of Marcus King might get a bit of a surprise when they throw on his new record. The South Carolina native built his success on his double-barrel growl of a voice and roiling, capacious guitar crunch, which placed him squarely in the Southern jam-band tradition. King’s last LP, 2022’s Young Blood, was a rugged set of Seventies guitar rock recorded with artisanal throwback specificity at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville. On his new one, King pairs with another production titan, Rick Rubin, who helps him...

Tennessee rocker Jelly Roll brought his latest to late night on Monday, performing “Wild Ones,” the hip-hop-by-way-of-Nashville collab with singer Jessie Murph, on Jimmy Kimmel Live. On the single, where the duo outline the kind of crazy that appeals to them, the father of two even name drops wife Bunnie Xo while rapping. Who said marriage was boring?

There aren’t a lot of precedents in pop music for the pairing of Billie Eilish and Finneas, when it comes to brother-and-sister performing or songwriting duos. But in the world of music for films, it might not be too soon to start considering a comparison with a very famous married duo: Alan and Marilyn Bergman, the long-reigning king and queen of movie theme songs. The Bergmans weren’t a fully self-contained songwriting unit; they primarily worked as lyricists, joining up with outside composers like Michel Legrand or Marvin Hamlisch on Oscar-winning material like “The Windmills of Your Mind,” “The Way We Were” and the song score of “Yentl.” But it’s their names that are synonymous with film songs like few others’. Could it be that the O’Connells are following in their footsteps?

Jelly Roll delivered his latest confessional to the late-night stage on Tuesday with “Halfway to Hell,” the first track from his new record Whitsitt Chapel.
Backed by his band, the Tennessee singer performed the rocker about being caught between “a county jail revival” and “a bottle and a Bible,” as he asks himself (a familiar theme throughout his work) if he’s “worth savin’ if I’m always fadin’?”
“This little light of mine damn near burned me alive/Lord knows that Mama tried,” sings Jelly Roll, before admitting he’s still at a crossroads.

CMA Awards voters love Lainey Wilson. The singer ran far ahead of the pack as nominations for the 57th annual Country Music Association Awards were announced Thursday, picking up nine nods, nearly twice as many as the nearest finisher, Jelly Roll, who got five. Luke Combs and Hardy followed with four apiece.
Part of the hat trick Wilson pulled off was landing a nomination for the top prize, entertainer of the year. The CMA tends to make up-and-coming artists wait until they have been headlining arenas for a while before they are admitted into that august category, even if they lead the field of nominees otherwise. But Wilson picked up her entertainer of the year nod while she is only on her second major-label album and has still mostly been an opener on the biggest bills, indicating just how quickly Nashville has embraced her as a mascot for the future of country music.

MGM+, which was previously named Epix, has picked up limited thriller series “A Spy Among Friends.” The new series is based on the New York Times best-selling novel written by Ben Macintyre. It’s set to premiere in 2023.
The six-episode crime drama will reimagine the real-life story of two British spies — Nicholas Elliott and Kim Philby — who are also longtime fiends. “[Philby] became the most notorious British defector and Soviet double agent in history. Philby’s deeply personal betrayal, uncovered at the height of the Cold War, resulted in the gutting of British and American intelligence,” reads a description for the series.
“A Spy Among Friends” stars award-winning actor Damian Lewis and Emmy winner Guy Pearce. Other cast members includes Anna Maxwell, Stephen Kunken, and Adrian Edmondson.

Exclusive: Even before the pandemic, the foreign sales market became mired down with some risky bets, i.e. the over exorbitant Roland Emmerich sci-fi disaster title Moonfall which carried a 140M production cost (resulting in a 44.3M WW gross), and Simon Kinberg’s femme spy ensemble The 355 at a 75M cost (which grossed just under 28M WW).
But there’s arguably a safer way to make moolah in the foreign sales sphere and that’s off of YA feature adaptations.
True, it’s been a while since the grand slam days of Lionsgate’s Hunger Games series and Summit International’s Twilight franchise, however, these movies can be made off a low cost yielding singles, doubles, or even home runs at the box office. Or worst case scenario, be in the black simply off their sales to streamers. And if a movie strikes out, it doesn’t sting so...

Is the years-long “The Voice” instant save curse about to be broken? If Blake Shelton‘s Americana singer Jordan Matthew Young ends up winning Season 20 during Tuesday’s grand finale, he’ll make history as the first artist to prevail who was previously saved by social media users. Since the instant save twist was first created in Season 6, none of its recipients have ever gone on to win “The Voice.” Britton Buchanan (Season 14) and Toneisha Harris (Season 18) came closest by each placing second behind their winners, but all of the other times the saved artist finished near the bottom of their respective finales.

The New Radicals broke up in 1999, just months after their anthemic single “You Get What You Give” became a hit all over the world. They’ve subsequently rejected all offers to reunite over the past 22 years. But just about a week ago, New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander finally got an offer he couldn’t turn down: The Biden-Harris administration wanted him to play “You Get What You Give” at their virtual “Parade Across America.”
