What does love mean to you? Love looks different for everybody. Love could be as simple as sitting on the couch and laughing with a friend, or it could be a big, extravagant romantic gesture orchestrated by a lover. Love could be holding a newborn baby for the first time or going home to surprise your parents. Love is around us every single day, and right now, given the events of last week, it’s important to remember to love one another no matter how that looks. At the base of every form of love listed above is kind words and mutual respect, whether it’s a platonic or romantic love. For those reading this in a trusting, loving relationship with a partner, you know how sacred that bond is and that it’s special to share so many intimate moments with a person you care so deeply about. And love songs hit so much harder when you feel the lyrics deep in your soul, knowing they reflect the kind of love that you have for someone. For those who are embracing their single era, these songs can help you pinpoint the type of love you hope to have one day, wishing that your future lover thinks about you while hearing these poetic lyrics. Ella Langley might be in her single era, but she knows what she is looking for and shared that with the crowd in Edmonton while opening for Morgan Wallen. “Do I have anybody in love with somebody else out there tonight? Do I have anybody looking for love out there tonight? Alright, for those of you who are in love with somebody, you can sing this song to them. Good for you, we’re jealous, everyone here. If not, and you’re looking for that kind of love… To me, love is everything. It’s passionate, it’s honest, it’s hardworking. It’s forgiveness. I’m looking for that. Somebody that I just know is my person.” Langley then shared with her fans that if they feel like love is the same thing to them as it is to her, they should sing along with the words of “Nicotine” with her. @brooke.vdw she’s got such a way with words @Ella Langley #ellalangley #morganwallen ♬ original sound – Brooke “Nicotine” is a perfect song to lead into after that speech about the kind of love Langley hopes to have with someone one day. The tune comes from her 2024 project Hungover and highlights the type of fiery love that everyone wishes to share one day. It’s the craving of being close to someone and spending your days with them, supporting each other through highs and lows. “Baby, be my nicotine My lips on a buzz smoke ring Feels good under neon lights Stiff drink at the end of the night Be the thing that I crave so bad Leave me wanting just a one more drag Take my breath, make it hard to breathe The one I want, but I just don’t need Baby, be my nicotine My nicotine…” I know the lyrics of “Nicotine” strike a chord with many yearning for a deep connection and a once-in-a-lifetime kind of lover. One of these days, I’m sure that Ella Langley will find all the characteristics she listed off before performing this tune. Since returning to the stage, she’s had a few vulnerable moments like this with fans, and it’s warming to see this softer side of the Alabama native. Of course, she’s still kicking a** and taking names, but the struggles she’s shared and the desires she has resonate among fans, making her that much more relatable. Fire up “Nicotine” before you go.  The post “I’m Looking For That” – Ella Langley Reveals What Kind Of Love She’s Searching For Ahead Of “Nicotine” Performance first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

I was waiting for this… By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the viral video of country star Zach Bryan jumping over a fence to confront Gavin Adcock at Born & Raised Fest in Oklahoma this past weekend. Zach was clearly riled up before taking the stage for a surprise appearance with Gabriella Rose in his home state of Oklahoma, and he was even yelling obscenities in the middle of “Madeline” about Gavin. According to Gavin, he made some comments to Gavin earlier in the day, but didn’t actually try and confront him until after he had already left and was behind the fence. He was apparently on his way home and decided to stop and have words with Adcock, jumping over a barbed wire before being held back by security. It was pretty wild… View this post on Instagram A post shared by Whiskey Riff (@whiskeyriff) The whole thing happened right before Gavin was set to go onstage for his headlining set, but after he got off, he took to social media and left several comments explaining what happened, claiming that Zach was “absolutely wasted” when he tried to fight him: “Had a headline show to play. Dude was absolutely wasted. Had to do what was good for the fans. Everybody knows how that woulda ended.” And in another comment on his own post, Gavin confirms that he didn’t want to fight Zach because he didn’t want to go to jail before his own headlining set: “Had a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn’t going to jail over that psycho.” And he summed it up with the caption on his own TikTok post: “Dude needs help.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gavin Adcock (@gavinadcockmusic) This morning, Gavin joined Barstool Sports CEO, Dave Portnoy, for an interview about the situation and revealed that Zach tore his pants getting over the fence. Of course, Dave is Brianna Chickenfry’s boss and certainly no fan of Bryan. Gavin also explained that there were so many security guards around them that even if they wanted to fight, they wouldn’t have been able to. I don’t know if that’s true, but I have no interest in taking anyone’s side when it comes to this because I think the whole thing is so stupid: “He ripped his pants when he got over it. He got about halfway over, and his pants got caught. There was seven security guards standing around, not for only for my safety, but for his safety. And if I would’ve took off after him, or he would’ve took off after me, the security guard were just gonna grab us and hem us up and not let us do anything. Plus, I was just being the bigger man, you know. He seems, y’all like to call him the smallest man in the world, he seems, he seems to wear that f****** pretty good.” You just know Brianna is LOVING this because honestly, even though it’s kind of annoying that she won’t stop talking about Zach, things that this only make her seem much more validated in every single thing she’s said about him: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) And so you know Bri couldn’t WAIT to weigh in on the fence hop too… he just set her up for the perfect opportunity to throw more shade his way, something she hasn’t missed a chance doing thus far. Today, Bri posted a video from a boat while on vacation in Portugal, drinking wine with friends and family with the song “Meet Me At Our Spot” playing in the background, along with the caption referencing Zach’s now-viral video, saying: “Not a fence in sight!” She has weighed in on pretty much everything he’s done that has made headlines since they broke up, including commenting on his new girlfriend Samantha who looks strikingly similar to Bri and could honestly be her clone… it’s insane how much they really look alike. Anyways, I think it’s safe to say Bri is glad she’s no longer with Zach because of things like this: @ihatebriannachickenfryNot a fence in sight!♬ Meet Me At Our Spot (Live) – THE ANXIETY & WILLOW & Tyler Cole Many of her supporters in the comments were obviously loving the shade, saying she clearly looks like she’s come out on top after all the drama between them in the wake of the breakup: “Bri you have the ability to do the funniest thing right now & invite Haley Larkin out for a girls night.” “His gf following behind him as he crashed out gave me the worst second hand embarrassment. Freedom looks so good on you.” “I need everyone to take note- perfect example of what to come is better than what came before. This queen escaped abuse and is now living her best life.. meanwhile.. Mr I jump fences to act tough.” “Temu Bri talking him off the edge, ‘Babe you’re not acting like yourself.'” “YOUR CAPTION ATE… IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS!” “Not a fence or a clone around, thank goodness.” “He looked like a little Chihuahua trying to jump a baby gate.” “SHE GOT AWAAAAAYYY.” “Ok the caption is iconic.” “She’s living!! Thriving.” “This SCREAMS freedom and I love it!” “Caption… ATE.” “Loving life looks good on you.” “HAHAHHAHAA.” “I laughed so hard.” “WAR IS OVERRRR.” “I would have put that caption too… if you haven’t dated a narcissist you don’t know the SATISFACTION of watching them embarrass themselves while you’re out here living your best life. I’s lovely tbh.” “Your caption. Yessss girl. So happy for you living your best life away from Lego man.” “One thing about Zach Brian, he going to take offense.” “The grass IS greener on the other side of the barbed wire fence.” Honestly, so true…The post “Not A Fence In Sight!” – Brianna Chickenfry Shades Ex, Zach Bryan, Following Viral Confrontation With Gavin Adcock first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Power move. Over the weekend, up-and-comer MacKenzie Carpenter, who you might know for helping pen Megan Moroney hits like “I’m Not Pretty” and “28th of June,” played at Boots in the Park Festival in Fresno, California, ahead of headliner Blake Shelton. And on Saturday, she played a cover of Miranda Lambert’s “Gunpowder & Lead,” which would normally be no big deal and just a fun, pretty standard cover… but fans were quick to point out the humor in that MacKenzie played it as part of her opening set for Blake. Of course, Blake and Miranda were married for four years, and first met back in 2005 during a performance of “You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma” for CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets concert. Blake was married at the time, but their chemistry was pretty evident on stage, and while he probably didn’t decide to leave his wife right there, Shelton divorced the following year in 2006. He started dating Miranda shortly after that, and they got married in 2011. Right around that time, Blake and Miranda also went on a run for the ages, releasing hit single after hit single and cleaning up at awards shows. Blake and Miranda both won CMA Awards for Male and Female Vocalist of the Year from 2010 to 2014, with Miranda winning in 2015 as well. And as far as ACMs go, Miranda was cleaning up there too.  The pair finally called it quits in 2015 after just 4 years of marriage, and cheating allegations on both sides have been thrown around ever since. Considering Miranda and Blake have both remarried since, I think it’s safe to say they’ve moved on, but fans certainly can’t let it go and so anytime something like this happens, it makes news.  I mean, Miranda laughed at the fact that Theo Von accidentally pulled up her wedding song with Blake, “God Gave Me You,” during their podcast episode together, and while obviously I don’t think they chat it up backstage at awards shows or anything, they are well past whatever happened in leading to their divorce.  So MacKenzie including this on her set before Blake came onstage is just pure comedy, even if she didn’t realize it or even think about it that deeply: @sydkaitcox♬ original sound – Syd Many in the comments were quick to point out how funny it was too: “In Mack Carpenter we trust.” “Doing the Lord’s work.” “Might be the last time she opens for Blake tho.” “As she should.” “LMFAO.” “Now that’s a power move.” “This is hilarious.” “LOVE this.” “Love it.” “Haha! I so love this!” “Iconic.” “*Follows whoever this queen is*” “Hahah hellllll yeah.” Because this was a festival date, and not Blake’s own show or tour that he personally picked MacKenzie for, it’s not like she was obligated to leave Miranda songs off her set list, and I highly doubt Blake even knew it happened, or would’ve cared either way. But still, that’s pretty dang funny… Gonna have this banger stuck in my head for the rest of the day now: “Gunpowder & Lead” MacKenzie also collaborated with Megan on her song “Nothin’ Crazy”: The post Fans Were Loving The Fact That MacKenzie Carpenter Performed “Gunpowder & Lead” Ahead Of Blake Shelton’s Headlining Set At Boots In The Park Festival first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Jamey Johnson believes in love at first sight. The great Jamey Johnson stopped by the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about his time in the Marines, listening to contemporary country music and how he enjoys artists like Morgan Wallen, working from the Cash cabin to create his new album Midnight Gasoline, how he wrote “What A View,” and much more. We also discussed his recent marriage to Brittney Johnson, whom he had been with for six years before tying the knot earlier this year in Nashville. But there’s a long and entertaining story as to how the couple ended up together, and before she said “I do,” Jamey Johnson says that Brittney initially shot him down: “She said, ‘No.'” To be clear, she wasn’t entirely at fault for declining Jamey Johnson’s proposal. That’s because the “In Color” singer asked her if she wanted to get married on the second day that they knew each other. It certainly seemed like fate played a role in the two crossing paths, but Brittney wasn’t as sure as Jamey was off the bat: “She said, ‘Not right now.’ I knew from the beginning I wanted to marry her. I knew what she was. She’s just a sweet, down-home, brilliant southern lawyer. We met in Jackson, Mississippi, at the Governor’s inauguration ceremony. It rained that day, an epic rain… They ended up moving the inauguration ceremony indoors. I was standing up against the wall so the governor and his security detail could get by and Brittney ended up on the wall right beside me.” Johnson went on to detail their “meet cute,” and explained that he was able to convince Brittney – whom he had just met – to join him and some others for lunch the day after the inauguration. She agreed, and it was afterwards that Jamey somewhat popped the question: “The next day, we went over to Walker’s Diner with Randy Houser and the governor’s brother Todd. We had lunch, and she came and joined us for lunch. I was walking her to her car when we got done and asked, ‘Can we just go ahead and get married and have some kids, and if it works out, we’ll start dating?’ I don’t know what kind of proposal that was, but I was just letting her know that I already knew.” @whiskeyriff “I knew from the beginning I wanted to marry her.” // Check out the newest Whiskey Riff Raff podcast with @JameyJohnsonOfficial available now on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. #whiskeyriff #whiskeyriffraff #jameyjohnson #countrymusic ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff If that’s not a shining example of “when you know, you know,” I don’t know what is. And the coolest part? Jamey Johnson was right about them being meant for one another… he was just five years or so early to the proposal.
