Now that Old Dominion‘s bar in Midtown Nashville is open, how often will you find OD hanging out at Odie’s?

Well, there is one member of the band you’re most likely to see.

“Trevor [Rosen] goes a lot,” the others respond when asked the question. “Yeah, Trevor has like his own seats.”

“Well, you know, I’m sitting at home and I’m like, ‘I could be watching the baseball game here or I could be watching at my own bar,'” he responds. “So it’s tough not to go up there. It’s [a] really cool vibe.”

Matthew Ramsey, Geoff Sprung and Brad Tursi can’t resist ribbing him about it a little bit. 

“Nobody recognizes him, so it’s pretty easy for [him],” Matthew adds as they all laugh.

“Unfortunately, that’s not true,” Trevor retorts, as the laughter continues. “Yeah, I don’t see much of the game. Let’s put it that way.”  

Old Dominion’s new single from Barbara, “Making Good Time,” just started its climb up the country chart.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have separated, ABC News has learned.

The Nine Perfect Strangers actress and the “Straight Line” hitmaker have been married since 2006 and share two daughters together, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, 17, and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban, 14.

Kidman is also the mom to two other children, Bella and Connor, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Kidman met Urban in 2005 at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles, according to People, who reported that early on in their relationship, Kidman was certain that Urban was who she wanted to marry.

In May 2006, they got engaged and tied the knot a month later in Sydney, Australia.

Over the years, Kidman and Urban have supported each other’s projects and more.

In 2024, Urban honored Kidman during the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Nicole Kidman and shared how Kidman supported him when he went to rehab after they got married due to his past “addictions.”

“If you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl,” he said. “Nic pushed through every negative voice – I’m sure even some of her own – and she chose love. And here we are tonight, 18 years later.”

“The thing about Nic — she loves life,” Urban added. “I’ve actually never met anyone who has such a passion for being alive. She knows the importance of expressing feelings as well. I wasn’t raised like this at all, so our girls are very lucky to be learning from you, baby. I’m learning too.”

Earlier this year, Nicole shared a sweet photo with Keith on their 19th wedding anniversary.

“Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban,” the Oscar winner captioned her June post.

Much like Dolly Parton did with “Jolene,” Meghan Patrick is squaring off with the other woman in her new track.

“‘Jessica, Jezebel’ is about the kind of woman who isn’t just a homewrecker, but who makes a hobby out of pursuing other women’s husbands,” Megan says. “It’s meant to be an empowering song for any woman who has encountered a ‘Jessica’ and felt the pain and betrayal caused by, first and foremost, their husband, but also the woman who pursued him, knowing the pain she was causing another woman.”

Meghan co-wrote the song, her first new music since 2024’s Golden Child. The title track is the Canadian singer’s biggest hit so far in the U.S., currently continuing its climb in country’s top 30.

Morgan Evans is turning the page in his career, signing with a new label and getting ready to release new music.

“Beer Back Home” will arrive Oct. 10 as his first song for Virgin Music Group. 

“I'm stoked to partner with Virgin Music Group on this record,” the Aussie native says. “They've built a global team that gets Nashville, Europe, Australia, and they get me. The industry's changing fast, but their model keeps artists in control, especially creatively.”

“I couldn't be prouder of this new music or more excited to share it with the world alongside the legends at VMG. Let’s go!” he adds.

“Beer Back Home” was recorded in Nashville and is the lead single from a new album due in early 2026.

Morgan plans to perform it for the first time with his band on Feb. 14, when he plays the Howlin’ Country festival in his hometown of Newcastle alongside Lainey Wilson. 

You’re also likely to hear 2018’s “Kiss Somebody,” which topped the chart and is his biggest hit so far.

The Grand Ole Opry’s first-ever live broadcast outside of the U.S. is now one for the history books.

Grand Ole Opry: Live in London took place Friday, Sept. 26, at Royal Albert Hall. More than 5,000 fans attended the sold-out show.

The evening’s entertainment included Darius Rucker teaming up with Scottish folk band Breabach on “Wagon Wheel,” while Ashley McBryde joined Marty Stuart on his hit “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’ Anymore.” 

Carly Pearce treated the audience to a first-ever performance of her #1 “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with its co-writer Luke Combs, who also joined Mumford & Sons‘ Marcus Mumford for “Always on My Mind.” 

All the night’s artists came together to close out the show with “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

The performances took place inside a circle of wood cut from the original stage floor of the Ryman Auditorium, just like the one at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
