It's certainly one of the biggest things going on in our world right now so it only makes sense to call the tour ‘Two Dozen Roses.'” Tickets and a full list of dates can be found at shenandoahband.com.

Happy birthday to Wynonna Judd!

The “No One Else on Earth” singer turned 60 on Thursday, and she threw a party ahead of her special day.

At the get-together were Wynonna’s loved ones and fellow country singers Ashley McBryde, Jelly Roll, Reba McEntire and Terri Clark.

Ashley took to Instagram recently to share a group photo from the party, which featured her all smiles with Wynonna, Jelly, Reba and Terri.

“A night out to celebrate the birthdays of our guiding light @wynonnajudd and our dear friend [music industry executive] @shanetarleton. It's hard to get me to go out. But for friends like these I'd walk face first into a hurricane to tell them I love them,” Ashley captioned her post.

“I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Wynonna told Ashley in the comments.

Terri also posted the group photo on her Instagram, as well as one of her with Reba and Wynonna. 

“My inner 15 year old was screaming. This was the first opportunity I've had to be in the same frame as two of my biggest musical influences, @wynonnajudd and @reba. Without these women, my life and music wouldn't be the same,” Terrie wrote in the caption.

“The past and the future of country music collided with my dear sister @ashleymcbryde and our new friend @jellyroll615 all coming together to celebrate the great Wynonna Judd's 60th birthday last night in Nashville!” she adds.

Wynonna’s Back To Wy Tour kicks off September 6 in Hutchinson, Kansas. For tickets and the full tour schedule, visit wynonna.com.

Carly Pearce took to Instagram on Thursday to open up to fans about a heart condition she’s been diagnosed with.

“Hey y’all, I have always been transparent and honest about every part of my life, so I feel like this deserves the same honesty. You guys know that I've been dealing with some health issues, and through that, I have developed something called pericarditis, which is a heart issue,” Carly tells fans in a video.

“I’ve been working with doctors and talking to my cardiologist, and I still wanna be out on the road. It’s really important to me, but we have all decided that it is in my best interest as I'm healing to alter my shows a little bit. So, if my shows look a little bit different, just know it's because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now,” she shares. “That doesn't mean I'm not gonna be completely fine, it just means right now I've gotta really take this seriously.”

“So, if you're coming to the shows, if you are gonna be a part of any of the amazing things we have going on with hummingbird, it is all gonna be great. It just might look a little different. So, I'm asking for a little bit of grace,” Carly says.

“And truly, more importantly, if any of you are dealing with any kind of health stuff, or aren't – I'm a young, healthy person that really watches what I eat and exercises, and this happened to me – and so, I just wanna use my platform to tell you to take care of your body and listen to it,” the singer adds.

You can watch the full video now on Instagram.

Carly’s currently opening for Tim McGraw on his Standing Room Only Tour and will release her new album, hummingbird, on June 7.

You can check out the full clip now on Luke’s Instagram.

The Mind of a Country Boy Tour begins June 13 in Jacksonville, Florida, and will hit Grand Rapids, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Chicago and more before wrapping in Tampa on September 14. Rotating openers include Chayce Beckham, George Birge, Kameron Marlowe, Larry Fleet, Zach Top and HunterGirl.
