A tough weekend for Miranda Lambert. Over the weekend, she shared the unfortunate news that she has sadly had to say goodbye to two of her beloved miniature horses, Sugar Pie and Adrianna. Miranda is a huge advocate for rescuing animals of any kind, and has an entire charity dedicated to furthering that mission called MuttNation, which is a cause very near and dear to her heart. In a post on Instagram, Miranda shared several photos and videos of her with her horses over the years, explaining she’s had them for 18 years, and that they’ve brought her so much joy. She noted how difficult it is to say goodbye, and thanked everyone who has helped her take care of them over the years. She ended the post by saying that she knows they’re “both in greener pastures” now: “My sweet little nugget’s Sugar Pie and Adrianna crossed over the rainbow bridge today. I’ve had 18 years with these littles and I can’t tell you how much joy they brought me. The best part about being an animal mom is the joy. The worst part is when the time comes to say goodbye. Full of gratitude for them and for Tommy, Julia and Sarah and everyone who helped take care of them and give them the best life when I was on the road all these years. Godspeed little bitty’s. I know you are both in greener pastures as I type this. I’ll see y’all again one day. Big love.” I’m sure a lot of us know the pain of losing a pet, and really, it just freaking sucks… and losing two at one time is even worse, so I’m sure it’s been a really hard last several days for Miranda. She talks often about how much she loves all of her pets, which includes several dogs, cats, horses, and mini horses, as well as goats and chickens and probably some we don’t even know of out on her farm. While I’m sure making the decision to put them down was difficult, they’re surely in greener pastures as Miranda noted in her post, though that obviously doesn’t make the pain of the loss or the grieving process any easier. You can view the full post, as well as all of the photos and videos, below.

Miranda was up for two awards in Female Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year as a songwriter for “A Song To Sing”, which she co-wrote with Chris Stapleton, Jesse Frasure, and Jenee Fleenor. Miranda and Chris also performed their song live for the first time, which you can watch here: The post Miranda Lambert Shares Sweet Post Following The Loss Of Her Beloved Mini Horses, Sugar Pie & Adrianna: “I Can’t Tell You How Much Joy They Brought Me” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

HUGE. Despite not releasing a full-length album for the first time in four years, 2025 has undoubtedly been one of the wildest years on record for Zach Bryan. In between scoring major career milestones, such as selling his catalog for a staggering $350 million dollars and becoming the eighth highest-selling country artist of all time according to the RIAA, the “Something in the Orange” singer has still managed to find himself in a whole bunch of ongoing drama. Even ignoring all of the aftereffects of his messy, public breakup with Barstool’s Brianna Chickenfry from last year, Bryan managed to find himself in the crosshairs of plenty throughout 2025. Beyond stirring up criticism after telling a 14-year-old fan to “GOMD” (get off my d*ck) after failing to meet with fans after his second of three nights at MetLife Stadium, he would also attempt to fight Gavin Adcock at Born & Raised Festival after months of prodding from the “Never Call Again” singer. And finally, he found himself at odds with the White House itself after teasing his highly-controversial song taking aim at ICE, “Bad News.” Long story short, it’s been a year full of ups and downs for Bryan, especially in the public eye. After recently going public with the fact that he has now gone sober and is currently working on his mental health, Bryan is seemingly gearing up for what can only be described as the most extensive, largest tour of his career in 2026. Just announced, Bryan will be hitting the road through the majority of 2026, both in the U.S. and overseas, on the With Heaven On Tour. Taking to Instagram, Bryan said: “due to popular demand and some life changes as of late, we’re going on tour next year.” View this post on Instagram With Heaven on Tour will hit a staggering 34 dates beginning on March 7 in St. Louis, Missouri before wrapping up on October 10 in Auburn, Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Bryan will begin the tour here in the states early, hitting the likes of Tampa, San Antonio, Louisville, Charlotte, Cleveland and more in March and May before beginning his European leg throughout the early parts of summer in May and June. Overseas, the “Something in the Orange” singer will hit the likes of London, Liverpool, Belfast, Berlin, Copenhagen and more, performing back-to-back nights in London and Belfast specifically. Once he returns to the U.S. in July, he will perform back-to-back nights in San Diego, California, Denver, Colorado, Dover, Delaware and Foxborough, Massachusetts, also hitting the likes of Salt Lake City, Utah, San Antonio, Texas and Glendale, Arizona. As for openers, Bryan is employing a revolving door of some of the most exciting voices in both country, folk, southern rock and more. Unsurprisingly, Kings of Leon will be featured on multiple dates after spending the majority of 2025 as direct support for the Oklahoma native. Bandmate, J.R. Carroll, as well as Gabriella Rose will also open on multiple different dates. Bryan will also be calling on the likes of Alabama Shakes, CAAMP, Dijon, Gregory Alan Isakov, Keenan O’Mera and Fey Fili as additional support throughout With Heaven on Tour, promising one of the most eclectic collections of artists you’ll see on a single tour heading into next year. Registration for early access to tickets is open now, with presale beginning on Wednesday, December 3rd at various times before closing on Thursday, December 4th at 7:00 p.m. EST. It should be noted that registration for European and United Kingdom shows differ from U.S. shows with registration closing early on December 1st at 11 p.m. local time compared to the U.S. shows.

One of the greatest halftime shows of all time? Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone out there. If you want to get into the spirit of what’s my personal favorite holiday (nothing better than food and football) a little early, look no further than this throwback performance from none other than Randy Travis. It was in 1998 when the country music legend played The Salvation Army’s Annual Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show during a Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game. “America’s Team” always does a great job of shining a light on the work of the Salvation Army, and the annual halftime show is a great reminder of all the great work that the charitable organization does. And historically, the halftime concert is usually put on by huge, superstar country music artists. Last year, Lainey Wilson was the headlining act of the Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime show. Then in 2023, who could forget the show that Dolly Parton put on that had everyone’s Thanksgiving gathering buzzing. Luke Combs had the honor the year before that, and if you trace the show’s history all the way back to 1998, there are a whole lot more country artists that put on phenomenal Thanksgiving halftime shows. But Randy Travis’ might be the most memorable of them all. The artist’s social media account even recently took the chance to ask if everyone still remembers the great interlude that Travis entertained the Texas crowd and those watching at home with. The real question is… how could you ever forget it? “Do you remember when Randy was featured in the Dallas Cowboys half time show on Thanksgiving?” View this post on Instagram That’s just a short clip of the performance (a teaser, if you will). Travis’ actual, full performance included his hit songs “The Hole,” “Forever and Ever, Amen,” and “I Did My Part.” And don’t even get me started on that rising up from underneath the stage that kicks off the performance. I don’t think the term “aura farming” existed back in the ’90s, but just because there wasn’t a term for it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t happening. The end of the performance also includes a very moving moment where a children’s choir kicks in, and Dallas Cowboys players and others place change into the iconic, red Salvation Army bucket. Randy’s “I Did My Part” could not have been more fitting for the moment, and all of it put together made for an incredible, meaningful Thanksgiving performance. Check it out: Randy Travis’ 1999 Dallas Cowboys Halftime Show  Post Malone is going to have a hard time topping that. In case you haven’t heard, the “I Had Some Help” singer is set to headline this year’s Salvation Army’s Annual Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show as the Dallas Cowboys plays against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. Since he’s “gone country” in recent years, the country music artists headliner streak for the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show continues: Post says he’s honored to be able to perform at the game: “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.” Hope he watches Randy Travis’ performance for some inspiration.The post Throwback To Randy Travis Rising Up Through The Stage For Electric Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Halftime Show In 1998 first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
