You’re never too old, or too successful, for dads advice. Megan Moroney shared a video on TikTok during Thanksgiving of her covering Kacey Musgraves’ song “Keep It To Yourself,” which was included on her 2013 album, Same Trailer Different Park. Megan has said many times how much she looks to Kacey as an inspiration, so it’s not surprising that she’s covering a deep cut like this, and I love how you can hear her dad giving her critiques and ideas for how to sing it in the background. Megan’s dad taught her how to play guitar when she was 16, as she had suffered a knee injury from cheerleading during her junior year of high school and was in a wheelchair, meaning she had a lot of down time she needed to learn how to play. Her brother also helped teach her, and she grew up in a musical family, so this video seems like a real peak into many years of her life learning to play guitar. She shared the video with the caption: “Everything has changed yet nothing has changed btw love u Kacey.” Megan added: “No matter how many dreams come true when it comes to music… I’ll never be too good for my dad’s critiques.” So true, Megan… they seem to still have a strong relationship, and obviously he’s a big part of the reason she is where she is today: @megmoroneyeverything has changed yet nothing has changed btw love u kacey♬ original sound – Megan Moroney Megan recently announced that her third studio album Cloud 9, which she says was written by the “strongest, most confident version” of herself: “I am so excited for my fans and I to dive into this new world of Cloud 9 together. Similar to the first two albums, it’s all written about honest, personal experiences, but these songs were written by the strongest, most confident version of myself I’ve ever been. My feet feel firmly planted in my artistry and it was fun to play around sonically, while still sticking to my roots of what my fans and I love. Cloud 9 is a state of mind, and I have no doubt this will be the best chapter yet.” I’m sure you’ve seen the album cover and all pink everything by now, but the color scheme for this new record will be pink, as she says goodbye to blue which defined her Am I Okay? era, and this is my favorite color choice of any of her albums so far. Megan has hinted that pop star Ed Sheeran is going to be featured on one of the songs, I can totally see Kacey Musgraves being on one of them too and I wouldn’t be surprised if that little cover is some sot of subliminal hint… at least I really want it to be. Cloud 9 is set to drop on February 20th: View this post on Instagram And if you don’t know this heater, you’re missing out… “Keep It To Yourself” The post Megan Moroney Shares Sweet Video Of Her Dad Giving Her Tips While Covering Kacey Musgraves’ Song, “Keep It To Yourself” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Growing up country meant farm chores, back-of-the-truck rides, loud summer nights, and the kind of hard-earned life lessons today’s kids may never know. Continue reading…

Coca Cola not playing by the rules? The beverage company, which owns a wide breadth of other brands like Dasani, Fairlife, and Costa Coffee, is currently in the midst of a lawsuit. The estate of one of the most recognizable names in all of music, Johnny Cash, has sued Coca-Cola because they believe they’ve mislead consumers into thinking that a song sung by the “Man in Black” is featured in one of their commercials. Cash’s estate has officially filed the lawsuit in the state of Tennessee underneath the ELVIS Act, which actually just went into effect this past July. The act serves as protection from nonconsensual exploitation for a person’s voice, and it should work perfectly into this dispute. Basically, Coca-Cola hired a Johnny Cash tribute artist to sing a tune (it doesn’t appear to actually be from Cash’s catalogue) that they could play over their college football commercial. Many have just assumed that it’s Johnny Cash’s voice, when in reality, it’s an impersonator. Tim Warnock, a lawyer for Cash’s estate, stated this in the complaint: “Coca Cola is pirating Johnny Cash’s voice in a nationwide advertising campaign to enrich itself – without asking for permission or providing any compensation Stealing the voice of an artist is theft. It is theft of his integrity, identity and humanity. The trust brings this lawsuit to protect the voice of Johnny Cash – and to send a message that protects the voice of all of the artists whose music enriches our lives.” The estate of the late country music singer is seeking unspecified monetary damages, and is asking for a court order to keep Coca-Cola from running the commercial. The flip side of this? A Johnny Cash impersonator by the name of Shawn Barker was getting work through this project, and now, if the Cash estate wins this lawsuit, the ad could be pulled from television altogether. Barker’s manager, Joey Waterman, told Billboard magazine that his client (who has been performing as Cash for over 20 years) and his team were thrilled by the opportunity: “We were thrilled when we were approached to have Shawn sing vocals for this commercial. Shawn Barker has been performing with his Cash tribute ‘The Man in Black: A Tribute to Johnny Cash’ for over two decades, touring the world sharing his love of Johnny Cash’s music and stories with fans both old and new.” And credit to Shawn Barker… he does have Cash’s vocals down pat. But it just might have been a little too good, as you can hear in the video below: Coca-Cola – Fan Work is Thirsty Work If I’m being completely honest, when I first heard that, I just assumed that it was Johnny Cash’s voice. That probably means that Johnny Cash’s estate has a case here. If you hire a “Man in Black” impersonator rather than actually paying for the rights to Cash’s voice, and then pass it off as the actual work of the late, great country music legend, you’re probably going to run into some problems. And this is just the latest snafu that Coca-Cola finds themselves in. Earlier this year, the beverage brand was caught up in some internet controversy when they rolled out a AI-generated Christmas commercial for the second year in a row. Coca-Cola must have a “too big to fail” mindset, because it certainly seems like they haven’t been worried about the little things as of late.The post Johnny Cash’s Estate Is Suing Coca-Cola… Here’s Why first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Post Malone had himself one hell of a Thanksgiving. The pop star has experienced a lot of success since he ventured into the country music side of things. Not to say that Posty wasn’t already doing well in his music career. It feels like he’s been at the superstar level ever since he broke onto the scene in 2015 with White Iverson. And he continues to build on his superstardom with things like stadium shows, and most recently, being the headliner of The Salvation Army’s Annual Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show. At the break during the Dallas Cowboys-Kansas City Chiefs game (where the Cowboys got the best of the Chiefs 31-28), Post Malone took center stage and delivered a solid Thanksgiving Day show. It was no Dolly Parton Thanksgiving show, but I don’t think anyone will ever top that. Post’s performance was extra special because a) he’s a Texas native and b) he’s a gigantic Dallas Cowboys fan. Here’s what he had to say about the meaning of the opportunity to headline The Salvation Army’s Annual Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show: “I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.” You could tell that he truly cared and was genuinely grateful throughout his performance: View this post on Instagram And while he put on a tremendous show at AT&T Stadium, it’s what he did after the game was over out on the field that’s making waves on social media. Following his halftime performance, and the Cowboys upsetting Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Post Malone got out on the field and chucked around the football with some fans. He’s getting a lot of credit for his impressive throwing motion, and the joy that he appeared to be experiencing as he played catch out on turf of America’s Team (they were yesterday, at least, since they beat the Chiefs): “Game ended a few hours ago, but Post Malone has been tossing the pigskin out here for a while with some fans.” Game ended a few hours ago, but Post Malone has been tossing the pigskin out here for a while with some fans pic.twitter.com/EKrLa8Ar7S — Nick Harris (@NickHarrisFWST) November 28, 2025 Nick Harris, who shared those initial pictures, followed it up with a video posted about an hour later that still showed Post Malone out on the field having the time of his life. Later on in Post Malone’s post-game (and post-Thanksgiving-halftime-show), on-field workout, he switched to defense and was trying to stop others from hauling in goal line touchdowns: “I’m telling you, he’s been out here for like two hours.” I’m telling you he’s been out here for like two hours https://t.co/OKbJg0Yr3S pic.twitter.com/aVEjOkI8d6 — Nick Harris (@NickHarrisFWST) November 28, 2025 I’m happy that he’s happy. The entirety of Post Malone’s Thanksgiving Day probably meant that much more because he used to sleep in the Dallas Cowboys stadium when he was a kid, according to Jerry Jones. The Dallas Cowboys owner recently said that for four or five years, his dad, Rich, would bring him to work when he had late nights and let him go to bed so he could get enough sleep. He said there was about a half-decade stretch that he would sleep there every night: “You know his background. He used to come over every night and sleep in Texas Stadium. And he slept over there for years, because his mother was working. And then she would finish her work and then he’d go home. Oh, yeah, for several years. Probably four or five (years). Had a cot for him and he slept.” Considering that, throwing on the Dallas Cowboys field after they win and after you perform the Thanksgiving halftime show is one hell of a full circle moment for Post Malone.The post Post Malone Spent Hours Tossing The Football Around At AT&T Stadium After The Dallas Cowboys Game first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
