Scotty McCreery shares video for ‘Fall of Summer’

Scotty McCreery has released the official music video for his single, “Fall of Summer,” directed by McCreery’s frequent collaborator, filmmaker Jeff Ray.

The song is written by McCreery, Frank Rogers, and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, and the video finds McCreery in his beloved home state of North Carolina on the shores of North Topsail Beach while the video’s storyline featuring a couple’s summer of love that fades with the autumn breeze was shot in Galveston, Texas.  Says McCreery: “This video really captures that nostalgic look back at a past summer love that ‘Fall of Summer’ is all about. Does the couple make it or does the relationship end off-camera? I want to hear what people think.”

McCreery was recently announced as direct support for select dates on the Kane Brown The High Road Tour in spring 2025, including Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on April 11th. He will also be performing at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival on April 27th.

Take a listen to Tim McGraw’s song ‘People Like Us’

Tim McGraw has shared his track “People Like Us”, written by Scooter Carusoe and Tom Douglas and produced by Byron Gallimore and McGraw.

Tim says of the song: “Music has a way of touching our hearts and bringing us together. Let’s keep lifting each other up and moving forward as one human family. It’s a celebration of our shared journey through life. We all have unique paths, but at our core, we’re connected by the same hopes, dreams, and challenges that make us human. For me, this song is about seeing ourselves in others – recognizing our common experiences of joy, pain, triumph, and struggle.”

McGraw’s previously-released single, “One Bad Habit,” recently reached Top 10 in Mediabase/Country Aircheck marking his 55th top 10 as a lead artist, with 62 including collaborations.

Megan Fox and fiancé Machine Gun Kelly expecting first child together

Megan Fox and her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together. Fox previously revealed in November 2023 that she suffered a miscarriage with Kelly.

Fox, 38, shared the news in a series of photos on Instagram, tagging Kelly, 34. The first photo showed a naked Fox covered in what appeared to be black paint, cradling her baby bump, with a second image displayed a positive pregnancy test. The caption read: “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back 👼🏼❤.”

Fox and MGK (real name Colson Baker) went public with their relationship after Fox appeared in Kelly’s “Bloody Valentine” music video in May 2020. In January 2022, they announced their engagement on Instagram.

The baby will be Fox’s fourth child (she shares Noah, 11, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 7, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green); and MGK’s second child (he shared daughter Casie, 15, with ex-Emma Cannon.)

Cody Johnson's grateful for CMA Awards nods, but 'it's not about winning for me'

As the 2024 CMA Awards approach, Cody Johnson recently shared about his attitude toward the awards show and his odds of winning.

“I could probably tell you who's going to win all of them, and it's probably not me,” Cody tells the press in a recent interview. “I think we have a better shot at Music Video because I'm in there twice.”

“But, you know, it's not about winning for me,” Cody says. “It’s like, man, we were nominated technically seven times, five for myself and two [in the Song of the Year category] for the songwriters of ‘The Painter’ and ‘Dirt Cheap,’ which is just as cool to me.”

Cody’s also up for Male Vocalist of the Year, while his album Leather is nominated for Album of the Year.

The 2024 CMAs, hosted by Luke BryanPeyton Manning and Lainey Wilson, will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu.
