Month: January 2023

It’s been a while since we’ve heard much from Lady A, but the superstar trio will kick off a busy 2023 with a February 10 appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.

From there, the Opry members do another February date in Detroit before heading overseas for the C2C: Country to Country festival in March. 

Then, Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley finally get to kick off their Request Line Tour April 14 with two shows at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. The tour is set to run through late October and wrap with a date at The Anthem in Washington, D.C.

Last year, Lady A postponed the much-anticipated trek so Charles could concentrate on his sobriety. He talked about it with Men’s Health this month and recently released the autobiographical “As Far As You Could” about his journey.

Shania Twain knows she’s changing, and she’s just fine with it. 

“I sound different. I look different and I’m OK with that,” she tells InStyle as she covers their new Everybody’s In special edition. “I’m fearless in that way and that motivates me.”

The Canadian pop/country superstar also opens up about her two throat surgeries and how her new album amps things up.

“It’s more rhythmic in a lot of ways,” she reveals. “That is very new to me, to the broadness of my recording style so far.”

“There’s a lot more get up and want to shake your body' kind of thing,” she adds. “There’s still some stomp in there, though. It’s almost like everything is there, but a new dimension. I just really want to get up and dance to it myself.”

Queen of Me arrives February 17. You can check out the full InStyle article now.

Long ago, Luke Bryan proclaimed Dustin Lynch the mayor of Crash My Playa, and today, Luke and Dustin gather their kingdom together for the annual getaway vacation in Riviera Cancun, Mexico.

Of course, the “Party Mode” hitmaker will once again host the pool party that forever cemented his title.

“First kickoff, yeah, [of] New Year’s is Crash My Playa,” Dustin tells ABC Audio. “You know how that’s gonna go: a week of pirating in Mexico. We’ll need a month vacation after that thing.”

“The pool situation down there,” he continues, “we started having phone calls and meetings about that show, the pool party, in July. A lot goes into putting this production on, so we don’t take it lightly. It’s a couple hours and a half of craziness, but there’s a lot of intention as it goes.”

If you’re not lucky enough to be at Crash My Playa, Dustin plans to take his famous water party from the Caribbean to Sin City.

“We’re gonna announce another Pool Situation in Vegas,” he reveals. “We’re bringin’ that monster from Mexico and putting it in Vegas for a weekend. And that’s gonna be popping off in ’23 for sure.” 

Previously, Dustin’s Pool Situation in Vegas has been a sell-out.

This weekend, he’ll be hanging out with Chris Stapleton, Cole Swindell, Lionel Richie, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Chase Rice and Dylan Scott, just to name some of the Crash My Playa talent.
