A very classy response from Brad and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. If you’re on social media, you’re probably already sick of hearing about the wedding between pop superstar Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, which happened today at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Permits filed with the city for street closures from July 2-4 reveal that the couple expect to host around 1,000 guests at the event, there were tons of celebrities spotted on their way to the venue today, and it was previously reported that the wedding will feature performances from Tim McGraw and Stevie Nicks, which remains to be confirmed. Last month, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle revealed hat the couple had a rule that no one bring any gifts, though he also admitted that he was probably going to break the rule and get something for Kelce, a rare old coin. And though they’re asking guests not to bring gifts, the couple kicked off their wedding week by donating a total of $26 million to 20 different charities across the country, and while most of the recipients are in New York where the couple tied the knot, they also made donations to several organizations in cities that have ties to the couple, including Los Angeles, Kansas City, Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and Swift’s hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania. The couple, who have a combined net worth of around $2.8 billion ($2.1 billion of which is thanks to Swift), also made a donation to a charity in Nashville, given her close ties to the city and its music industry. In Music City, the lucky recipient was The Store, a nonprofit grocery store founded by Brad Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams Paisley. The organization serves as a completely free, referral-based grocery store to provide dignified access to food and other support services for families facing food insecurity, operating like a regular supermarket with volunteers and offering services like music therapy and financial literacy. It’s designed to remove the shame out of getting donations and food assistance, letting people “shop” with choice, and also runs seasonal programs like a toy store for holidays. After the donation, The Store took to social media to express their thanks to the couple. And while we don’t know how much they received (other charities have revealed that their portion of the donation was $2 million), The Store calls the gift “transformative.” View this post on Instagram Of course Taylor and Brad go way back: Swift appeared in the music video for his song “Online,” and the pop star opened for Paisley, along with Kellie Pickler, way back in 2007 on his Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour, where the openers even pranked their headliner while out on the road. And the couple took to Instagram last night, on the eve of the wedding, to express their gratitude for the very generous donation, with Brad saying he was “very excited” about it: “Okay, on the eve of the wedding of Tay and Trav, this is really an amazing thing to think about the gift that they gave the store. We just wanted to take a second and say, it’s transformative, it will feed so many families, and what a way to start a marriage. I’m very excited.” Kimberly added that food insecurity is at a 10-year high in Nashville, and the timing of the donation was ” critical.” She says they are “really grateful” for their generosity, and congratulated them on the wedding: “We are so, so grateful for your donation. This is gonna go such a long way as Brad said. Food insecurity is at a 10-year high in Nashville, and the timing is just so critical. We’re just really, really grateful for your generosity, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.” They looked very dressed up, I’m sure they were headed to the rehearsal dinner (or welcome dinner, whatever it was) when they filmed it, and it was very kind of them to publicly thank the couple like that: “Taking a moment to say a special thank you to Taylor and Travis for their amazing donation and congratulations on their upcoming wedding!” It’s really cool to know how many Nashville families that money is going to help: View this post on Instagram Along with The Store, the couple also donated to several national organizations, including another one founded by a country music legend: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides free books to children every month from birth until they turn 5. Dolly already shared a video thanking the couple for their generous donation, as well: View this post on Instagram The post “It Will Feed So Many Families” — Brad Paisley & His Wife Thank Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce For Generous Donation To Their Nonprofit Grocery Store In Nashville first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

She’s got a great tan going on… I’m sure that’s what everyone was really focused on. Megan Moroney is currently on the road for her extensive Cloud 9 tour, but she got a solid two weeks off between the end of June and start of July, and it looks like she’s been taking full advantage of her time off, hitting the beach with friends this past week. And she wasn’t shy about sharing some photos of herself in a super cute pink bikini, posing for the camera while sitting under an umbrella on the sand saying she’s “feeling crazy” with two full weeks off: “2 weeks off feeling crazy wby.” She is so tan and glowing with the summer clearly treating her well. She obviously works hard for her body, and it certainly is paying off because she looks incredible: View this post on Instagram But of course, the guys, and the girls to be honest, were loving her thirst trap bikini pictures, and there were plenty of comments just like these: “Heavens to Betsy” “Let me be your cowboy.” “I’m ready to settle down Megan.” “Imagine fumbling her.” “God spent more time on you.” “Girl you are TEAAAAA.” “Crazy gorgeous.” “How could you ever fumble this.” “Also bikini was MADE FOR YOU!!” “My boyfriend better not like this post.” “I’d wash so many dishes for you.” “She actually looks like Barbie.” “Holy f***.” “Gorgeous.” Megan will resume her Cloud 9 tour as she heads to Boston at the beginning of this week to play at TD Garden.

He’s back. Zach Bryan has been pretty quiet on social media lately (his social media accounts are inactive), which most fans know is probably a good thing because he can get a little unhinged on there a lot of the time, but I digress… This evening, he shared a teaser of an unreleased song called “Lodi When,” which features a ton of harmonica and finds him reminiscing on some of his formative memories and a time in his life when he was in love with a girl in Lodi (which according to Google is a city in Northern California): “If you could write a book on, The man that you once were, Would you write about drinking, Or would you write about her, If you could just go back to the places you once been, Would you run back to her arms, Or back to Lodi when, He made a big mess of all the songs he wrote, He’d sing to you come daylight, but die before he woke, If you could write a book on the man that you once were, Would you write about drinking, Or would you write about her, If you could just go back to the places you once been, Would you go back to her arms, back to Lodi when” Zach’s been busy in 2026 in terms of playing a lot of shows both in the states and overseas in Europe, and he announced that he started his sobriety journey late in 2025, in addition to getting married to Samantha Leonard on New Year’s Eve this past year. Just two weeks later, he’d drop his long-awaited sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top, along with a full-length acoustic version of the record. With Heaven On Top would debut #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200, selling 130,00 units in its first week and charting 18/25 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. And since then, he hasn’t put out any new music, and I don’t think fans necessarily expected him to considering he released the aforementioned album in January, but it sounds like “Lodi When” is part of a bigger project. Zach posted the teaser video on YouTube, and the comments section, he revealed that he has a new EP on the way with an incredibly interesting, for lack of a better word, name called Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, which will feature “Lodi When” in addition to a number of other songs yet-to-be-revealed: “A snippet of ‘Lodi When’ off the new EP, ‘Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs’.” Sounds like there’s more where that came from… Zach also teased another new song recently called “Breakfast in Bed,” which I have to imagine is also on this EP, and if he’s already teasing the songs that will be on it, I doubt we’ll have to wait much longer to hear it. Usually when Zach starts teasing stuff like this, it means he music is coming very soon, especially with an EP since it’s a lot smaller undertaking than a traditional, full-length album. I just need the story on the EP title, though… it’s really something.
