“Let’s Write That One Next”- Country Music Fans Think A Megan Moroney/Brad Paisley Collaboration Is On The Way

Now, this is something I can get down with. While all this is speculation, Megan Moroney and Brad Paisley have been having some fun banter on X, leading fans to believe a collaboration might be in the works. Megan Moroney had a stellar 2024, and it appears she is also laying the groundwork for a stellar 2025. The Emo Cowgirl already has a busy schedule as she is preparing to embark on her Am I Okay? Tour. While Mornoey has not announced any new music for this year, one would expect she'd keep the roll going after the release of her sophomore record and give fans a few singles or maybe even a new project at some point this year. Based on this friendly social media conversation between her and Brad Paisley, is this her Easter Egg that her first single of this calendar year will be with the "I'm Gonna Miss Her" singer? Yesterday, the Georgia native posted on X that her favorite record of all time is Paisley's Mud On The Tires. She then listed some of the songs on the tracklist. "No one asked, but 'Mud On The Tires' is my favorite album of all time." https://twitter.com/_megmoroney/status/1882186296086729215 https://twitter.com/_megmoroney/status/1882186559635796026 Mud On The Tires must have been on repeat for Moroney as she shared again that day that she hoped he was doing well wherever he was and whatever he was doing. https://twitter.com/_megmoroney/status/1882186759792128227 Soon after, Paisley pipped up on social media, noting that he was doing well and loved seeing Moroney's posts about him on X. "Megan Moroney, to answer your question… sitting in the waiting room at the dentist's office for my kid's appointment, and this made my day." After he replied, someone needed to check on the "Am I Okay?" singer to see if she was genuinely alright as she reacted to his response. https://twitter.com/_megmoroney/status/1882227960884953534 However, Moroney did not repost another of his replies, which suggests the two get together to write soon (if they haven't already). In response to Moroney's post about Mud On The Tires being her favorite record, Paisley noted that two of her songs are his last two Shazam searches. "You are two of my last Shazams…I love 'Tennessee Orange,' but I’m partial to West Virginia Blue…so let’s write that one next!" https://twitter.com/BradPaisley/status/1882202476352516451 To be honest, I had no idea people still used Shazam... total dad move on Paisley's part, but I'm here for it. His last sentence suggesting they write a follow-up to "Tennessee Orange" championing his home state, "West Virginia Blue," could be an absolute heater. However, the part where Paisley says "next" also indicates that these two might already have a collaboration that has yet to be released. Many fans began commenting that they loved the idea of these two teaming up for a song and hope to see a collaboration between them one day. "Y'all have to collab like are you kidding me." "No one asked, but this would be my favorite collab ever." "The collab the world needs." "Someone check her pulse." "MEG IS GONNA CRASH OUT." "If his collab happened, someone would need to check my pulse to make sure my heart is still beating!" This might be social media banter, but it looks like fans would eat this up, so hopefully, it is true. While you're here, fire up the title track of Moroney's favorite record, "Mud On The Tires." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o23r5MBetyE

“Devil Can’t Keep Me Down” – Colt Ford Is Going Back On The Road In 2025 After Suffering Near-Fatal Heart Attack Last Year

“Devil Can’t Keep Me Down” – Colt Ford Is Going Back On The Road In 2025 After Suffering Near-Fatal Heart Attack Last Year

Not even a heart attack - and clinically being dead three times - can slow down Colt Ford. Though Ford spent most of 2024 recovering after he suffered a heart attack last April, he's ready to get back on the road in 2025. Colt had just walked off stage after a sold-out show at the Gilbert, Arizona, location of Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row when he collapsed after suffering a heart attack. The singer/songwriter was rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, where he was considered to be in critical condition in the hospital's intensive care unit. Weeks after the scary incident, the 54-year-old spoke publicly for the first time on the Big D & Bubba Show, detailing the scary event while he was still in the hospital: “It’s just been a traumatic, crazy experience, guys. I don’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix. I died three times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me…they came out to check on me, and then all of a sudden they were like, ‘Oh God,’ and then that is when all hell broke loose.” This Mayo Clinic out here in Phoenix, if it was going to happen, God could not have had me in a better place. The big doc out here said, ‘I wouldn’t give me 1%, but I give you 0.1% that you’d survive.' They brought me back. They saved my life. The Lord had more for me to do.” That "more" that Colt Ford was alluding to there seems to be getting kicked off with some tour dates for 2025. The country singer, who has eight studio albums under his belt, is getting back on the road with his band after their 2024 was cut short because of the terrifying medical incident. And Colt Ford was always planning to get back into the swing of things, even while he was still in the hospital last year a month after his heart attack. Here's a message he shared while still in his hospital gown and a wheel chair: “Hey guys, it’s Colt here. I am fighting so hard every day to get back to my family, my friends…my fans. I love y’all so much. I got my a** out of bed and, with the help of some wonderful nurses, got in a wheelchair. They brought me outside so I could feel a little sun on my face. First time in a long time…it feels good. I still got a long way to go, but if you think I ain’t coming back…bet against me. See what happens.” https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6rfSNiODT4/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=f1b91b44-4b2b-4691-85f4-f481847ed13b Did anyone bet against him? Nope? Didn't think so. Sure enough, Colt Ford took to his Instagram earlier this week to share that he's feeling great and he's heading back on the road this year. In the clip, the country singer looks health and energetic as he shares the exciting news with his fan base: "What's up y'all? It's your boy Colt Ford. Y’all come check me out. I’m going to be back out on the road this year. The devil couldn’t keep me down baby. I’ll see y’all on the road." https://www.instagram.com/p/DFHDKc9xvQ-/ There are no official tour dates announced just yet (other than Ford playing the Country Concert 25 in Fort Loramie, Ohio in July), but fans will surely be at the ready to go out and support the "Country Must Be Country Wide" singer.

“Playboy Has To Be Pounding At Your Door” – Bunnie XO Stuns Fans With “Birthday Suit” Photo Shoot

Wow. Yesterday, Bunnie XO, host of the Dumb Blonde podcast and wife of country star Jelly Roll, shared a series of photos on her Instagram page celebrating her birthday, with the caption "birthday suit." And let's just say, she didn't leave much to the imagination and is clearly proud of her fantastic body and incredibly toned muscles... she looks picture perfect, and the photos could be used for a Playboy cover, as some in the comments pointed out. I don't want to out a woman's age here, because clearly that's just a number, and she looks better than she ever has before. If I have anywhere near a body like this in 15 years , then I would probably want to show it off too... There are several shots of her in bathing suits, as well as some funny ones of her cleaning around the house, still in bathing suits and a short dress...not exactly her full-on birthday suit, but pretty much as close as you can get otherwise. Here's a one-shot preview, you're gonna have to go to her Instagram for the full post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CukIy--OFZd/?hl=en Of course, the photos got rave reviews from both male and female fans alike, with many of them commenting how incredible she looks and wishing her a happy birthday too: "Happy bday hot stuff!!!!!!!" "Happy birthday to a living legend!!!" "All of this" "The day the Queen was born!!" "You are so perfect" "You don’t look a day over 21 . Happiest birthday to youuuu." "This woman is physical perfection in my eyes! PERFECTION!" "Sheeeeesh "You are literally so perfect. Happy Birthday, beautiful." "Hands down one of the sexiest women on earth!" "One of the best bodies I’ve ever seen" "I am straight. I am straight. I am straight…" "I think Jelly Roll is a lucky man." "HOT MOMMAAAAA." "I wish I looked as good as you do" "Girl your makeup looks incredible!" "Happy birthday!!! Everything GOALS" "Playboy has to be pounding at your door" "Please drop us a fitness program" 'WOW. Jelly is a very blessed man." "I aspire to be this hot" "Happy fkn Birthday our leader mother Bunnie!! We adore you diva" "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FAVORITE AUTHENTIC AQUARIUS QUEEN!! God bless you Bunnie, another rotation around the sun. Love you!! xoxo." "Damn! Happy birthday you smoke show. You get better every year!" "Giving us the gift of this AMAZING post on your birthday how generous!! Your gorgeous happy birthday angel!" "Come on!!!! Could you be anymore stunning??!! Love to you and yours." "Always gorgeous. Your ink is beautiful too!" "SLAY BIRTHDAY QUEEN. You’re gifting us with your beauty that’s shown on the inside and out! "Mommy? Sorry mommy?" "Happy birthday my gorgeous bunniexo babe!! I love you to the moon and back. Always supporting my girl here. Hot as hell." I didn't see anything from Jelly Roll on the post yet, but I can imagine he was a big fan of them too...
