Post Malone and Morgan Wallen are sharing the official video for their hit collaboration, “I Had Some Help.” The song was produced by Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome and Hoskins, and written by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen alongside Louis Bell, Ryan Vojtesak, Ashley Gorley, ERNEST and Hoskins.

The duo’s music video for I Had Some Help, directed by Chris Villa and filmed at the Joshua Tree Saloon in California, finds Post in a phone booth arguing with a girl on the phone; he gets over it pretty quickly, however, and has some fun with the locals, drinking beer and partying with Morgan. The clip also features footage of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen singing the tune in the back of a flatbed truck beneath a massive American flag in Joshua Tree, California, dispersed throughout the storyline of the video.

“I Had Some Help” marks the first single from Post Malone’s forthcoming first-ever, full-length country album, expected to feature collaborations with Luke Combs, Brad Paisley, Jelly Roll and more.

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy is engaged to model Gabriella “Gabbriette” Bechtel after nine months together.

Bechtel announced the news on her Instagram Stories while attending her friend Charli XCX’s concert in Brooklyn, NY; Charli herself recently got engaged to The 1975’s drummer George Daniel. Gabbriette shared a photo of her tattooed hand sporting a custom black diamond ring adorned by small diamonds around the stone and band, as well as posting a mirror selfie with her ring finger pointed up, displaying the jewelry. Along with the photos, Bechtel posted a reference to Charli’s newest album, ‘BRAT’, writing: “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT;” Healy also reposted Bechtel’s announcement.

Matty Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, also confirmed the news of her son’s engagement, stating on her show Loose Women: “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York, I woke up this morning to the fact that they’ve put it on Instagram! Instagram official!… Black diamond, he had it made for her, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. She’s absolutely gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier—she’s everything that I would want in a daughter-in-law, so I’m thrilled.”

Matty, 32, and Gabbriette, 26, first sparked romance rumors in late 2023 when photographers spotted the pair kissing in New York City, months after his split from Taylor Swift.

No Comments on Dasha on how 'Austin' changed her life, advice she got from Jelly Roll

It’s no secret that “Austin” has changed Dasha‘s life.

After taking the stage at CMA Fest 2024 over the weekend, Dasha spoke with Good Morning America about the incredible success of “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” and what it was like performing at her first stadium show.

“I could see everybody up there,” she said about taking the stage at the festival. “And I’m like, ‘Wow … this is insane.’ And I just had fun with it – it’s all you can do. I had such a good time.”

Dasha released “Austin” in November and she said it’s changed her life – not just from its impact online but with fans themselves.

“Everything has just been so different,” she said. “I mean, [I’m] running into fans all the time, and people [are] saying how the song has helped them through a breakup.”

“This girl the other day was like, ‘I broke up with my toxic boyfriend – like my literal abusive boyfriend – because of the song. You inspired me to have the courage to do it,'” she recalled.

Amid everything happening in her life, Dasha said the best advice she’s received has come from Jelly Roll, whom she ran into backstage at CMA Fest.

“He was saying how the best thing you can do with all this craziness going on is just soak it in,” she said. “Like, ‘You got this, you’re good. You’re meant to be here, but just soak it in.'”

“And I needed to hear that so bad,” she added. “I was like, ‘Damn, that’s so right,’ because I was up there on that stage and just like looking around and like, ‘Damn, I’m really here playing a stadium right now. That’s just insane.'”

This year’s CMA Fest special, hosted by Jelly and Ashley McBryde, airs June 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

No Comments on Jelly Roll dedicates “I Am Not Okay” to “everyone going through something”

Jelly Roll‘s new single, “I Am Not Okay,” has arrived.

The emotional number, which Jelly co-wrote, chronicles one’s sentiments on life and their seemingly insurmountable struggles.

“I am not okay/ I’m barely getting by/ Losing track of days/ And losing sleep at night/ I am not okay/ I’m hanging on the rails/ So if I say I’m fine/ Just know I’ve learned to hide it well,” Jelly sings in the opening verse over acoustic guitar strums.

“I know I can’t be the only one/ Who’s holding on for dear life/ But God knows, I know/ When it’s all said and done/ I’m not okay/ But it’s all gonna be alright/ It’s not okay/ But we’re all gonna be alright,” he proclaims in the midtempo chorus.

“‘I Am Not Okay’ is out now,” Jelly shares on Instagram. “For everyone going through something-it's okay to not be okay, but its all gonna be alright!”

“I Am Not Okay” follows the chart-topping singles “Halfway to Hell,” “Need a Favor” and the Lainey Wilson-assisted “Save Me.” It’s also the lead single off Jelly’s forthcoming as-yet-untitled new album.

Jelly’s headlining Beautifully Broken Tour kicks off Aug. 27 in Salt Lake City. For tickets and a full list of dates, head to jellyroll615.com.

White House announces ban of medical debt from credit reports

No Comments on White House announces ban of medical debt from credit reports

Kamala Harris campaigns in New Hampshire. Keene^ NH - April 24^ 2019

The Biden administration has announced a rule to ban medical debt from credit reports of more than 15 million Americans, with Vice President Kamala Harris saying on Tuesday that the proposed rule would reduce the number of Americans with medical debt listed on their credit reports to zero (down from 46 million in 2020), as well as raise their credit scores by an average of 20 points and lead to the approval of about 22,000 more mortgages annually,

According to a fact sheet from the office of Vice President Harris, the move – taken through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) – would help improve the financial health and wellbeing of millions of Americans. The Biden administration calculates that if implemented, the rule would raise affected individuals’ credit scores by an average of 20 points, and could lead to the approval of approximately 22,000 additional mortgages every year as a result of the cleaned-up credit reports. Following the proposal, the rule will be open to comments until August 12, 2024

CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement: “The CFPB is seeking to end the senseless practice of weaponizing the credit reporting system to coerce patients into paying medical bills that they do not owe. Medical bills on credit reports too often are inaccurate and have little to no predictive value when it comes to repaying other loans.”

Harris shared in a separate press release that the administration is also calling on states, local governments and health care providers to take additional steps to eliminate medical debt by using available federal funds to purchase and eliminate medical debt, prevent the further accumulation of medical debt and protect patients from aggressive debt collectors by expanding access to charity care.

According to an April report from the bureau, some 15 million Americans have a total of more than $49 billion in medical debt in collections. Almost a quarter of middle-class Americans, or 17 million people, had unpaid health care bills in 2020.

00 is no longer included on credit reports.
