AI companies are clustering around healthcare and fast.  In just the past week, OpenAI bought health startup Torch, Anthropic launched Claude for healthcare, and Sam Altman-backed MergeLabs closed a $250 million seed round at an $850 million valuation. The money and products are pouring into health and voice AI, but so are concerns about hallucination risks, inaccurate medical information, and […]

Diving deeper into her creative choices. Entering 2026, it’s hard to point to a hotter artist, except for Ella Langley and Zach Top, than Megan Moroney. Coming off the heels of a highly successful 2025, which saw her not only grab her second-career #1 hit with “Am I Okay?” in June but also lead the way in CMA Award nominations, along with Langley and Lainey Wilson, with six separate nods. With all of that being said, 2025 was another huge year for the “I’m Not Pretty” singer, and 2026 is looking to be an even bigger one. Of course, this is thanks to her not only setting the release of her third studio album, Cloud 9, for February 20th but also plotting her massive international tour of the same name, which will hit seven countries across 48 shows throughout the year. Without question, the lead-up to Cloud 9’s release next month has been a huge success for Moroney. Aside from all the teasers, easter eggs and speculation that came before its official announcement, she’s kept the momentum moving greatly through the release of key singles such as “Beautiful Things” on October 24th and “Wish I Didn’t,” which was released today. Additionally, earlier in the week, she finally released the album’s 15-song tracklist, dropping the bombshell that the highly speculated collaboration with Ed Sheeran, titled “I Only Miss You,” would appear on Cloud 9 along with a Kacey Musgraves duet titled “Bells & Whistles.” With Cloud 9 just five weeks away, Moroney is finally revealing some of the choices behind both her writing process for the album and her signature use of color in the album’s marketing. Appearing on The Bobby Bones Show this morning, the “Six Months Later” singer would open up about everything from the aforementioned creative choices and upcoming songs on the album to the evolution of her touring schedule and her now-famous birthday gift from Kenny Chesney, an autographed guitar from Dolly Parton. As mentioned previously, one of the defining characteristics of Moroney as an artist is her dedication to different album “eras.” Of course, this is primarily highlighted by following a strict wardrobe and social media posting routine, which pairs different colors with different albums. If you recall, her debut album, Lucky, was all green, while her sophomore album, Am I Okay? was dark blue. This time around, obviously, Cloud 9 is all pink. Hilariously, the Georgia native would note that she refrained from posting anything predominantly pink even before she officially chose it as Cloud 9’s color, noting how much fans are aware of the importance of color to all of her albums. “For my birthday, before the color was announced in October, I got a lot of pink stuff. I got a pink purse, pink Ugg slippers, and I couldn’t post them or anything or be seen in them or anything because my fans are really sneaky and smart.” When asked why she ultimately chose pink as Cloud 9’s official color, Moroney would reveal that when she was in the writing process, an unnamed song simply felt “really hot pink” to her. As she continued developing the album, pink simply stuck. As she notes, she felt that pink symbolizes a “softness” in the record that isn’t present on her first two projects. “Once I started writing the album, about three songs in, there was a song that was really ‘hot pink.’ So that was kinda stuck in my brain, and I continued to write the rest of the album. There’s a softness about ‘Cloud 9’ that isn’t in my other albums.  I kinda chose all shades of pink, but I guess there is that staple hot pink. I think it’s soft but also still confident and empowering. It just makes sense in my brain.” If there’s one thing that simply cannot be denied about Moroney, it’s the fact that she knows how to market an album. It’s safe to say that rolling with pink for Cloud 9 is going to pay dividends in the future. For now, we’ll just have to wait til February 20th when the 15-track album officially releases.

The Tom Segura and Garth Brooks rivalry continues. It’s the rivalry with quite the backstory. The whole joke that Tom Segura cooked up and directed at the 2-time Grammy winner stems from a video that Garth Brooks released back in 2018 promoting his Stadium Tour. If you happened to miss it, just notice the country music legend’s cold, dead eyes throughout the announcement and stick around for the end where he weirdly says he really likes “getting physical playing music.” Check it out: View this post on Instagram Garth could do himself a favor and just delete that video from his page. And of course, the other video that gave Tom endless material was Garth’s “Welcome to Facebook” video from way back in 2014. Shot from a dimly lit hotel room, it’s given us iconic phrases such as  “I like that,” “slick stuff, neat stuff, raw stuff,” “think of it as a conversation” and “let the conversation begin.” Garth Brooks’ welcome to Facebook video. pic.twitter.com/sBIq8lX2j5 — Tandem Felix (@FelixTandem) July 30, 2020 Believe it or not, those two videos sparked an entire movement (and a subsequent Netflix show where Tom Segura really went after Garth Brooks). Segura and his wife – fellow comedian Christina Pazsitzky (hosts of the Your Mom’s House podcast) – stumbled upon the bizarre announcement video for Garth’s Stadium Tour back in 2018, as well as the Facebook video, and they absolutely ran with the “this guy might be a serial killer” joke. Loyal followers of Segura and Pazsitzky followed the lead of the two comedians and then started bombarding any social media posts of Brooks’ with comments asking: “Where are the bodies Garth?” Needless to say, because of that, Garth Brooks has been confirmed to not like Tom Segura, and understandably so. The country star often has to turn off the comments section on his social media posts… which just makes the people behind Tom Segura’s “Where are the bodies?” movement that much more suspicious. And I will admit that what usually makes a rivalry great is that both sides have high moments. With this Segura-Brooks rivalry, it seems like only Tom has benefited from this whole, ridiculous joke. Garth Brooks and his team just have to deal with the headache that comes from people bombarding everything he does with questions about bodies… and families needing closure. Though I say that, the country music icon apparently gets a kick out of a viral video of Tom Segura horribly injuring himself trying to dunk a basketball, so it’s not a total loss for Garth. Evidently, Garth Brooks has the video of Tom Segura horrifically breaking his arm and tearing his patellar tendon simultaneously at the ready, and often watches it. If you’ve seen it, you know it’s pretty nasty.. hard to watch. But according to the comedian, Garth then tells whoever is around that the video is proof of karma existing. Segura disclosed all of this during a recent interview on The Dan LeBatard Show after he was asked about the connection between him and the country singer: “I learned this first hand from someone who is directly related to one of his high-level employees. The person who I spoke to – I’m trying not to give out too much of their information – was like, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve met him, weird guy. My relative works with him.’ I said, ‘Does he know about these rumors?’ And he goes, ‘Of course he knows, and he doesn’t get it.’ They ask him, ‘Do you hate Tom?’ And the person that works with Garth says, ‘Garth doesn’t hate anybody.’ That’s such a creepy thing to say. Then he said that (Garth) sometimes looks at the video of me tearing my patella tendon and breaking my arm and goes, ‘Karma. Karma, right here.’ So yeah, that’s how he responds.” Unbelievable if true. Although I will say, responding to that question with “Garth doesn’t hate anybody” is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, the most Garth Brooks answer I’ve ever heard. What’s funny is that, while Garth apparently likes to watch the video, Tom Segura gets a lot of joy from knowing that the country music star may or may not (but probably does) view the clip from time to time. I like to imagine that Garth Brooks only cues it up when he needs a little pick-me-up. Maybe Garth watches it when he wishes that he could leave his comments open on social media? Segura touched on that impact that he’s had in the interview as well: “You know the internet has completely ruined his social media? Comments are off on everything. First he turned them off on Instagram. Then it turned off on Facebook. Those are obviously big platforms for him, and it’s because everyone is asking him where bodies are buried, and if they can have their grandmother back. It’s completely over for him on social media.” And it’s all thanks to a running joke from Tom Segura.

President Trump today comforted that he decided not to strike Iran, when asked if Israel convinced him not to carry out air strikes. He doesn’t say much, but here’s what he said:

President Trump just said that he doesn’t see a reason right now to use the Insurrection Act right now in Minnesota. Watch: I was hoping he’d go ahead and declare it so . . .
