“Minister declares children can have ‘sex with whomever they want’ if they consent.” In America, we see that our young people are being assailed not only by the pedophiles, transgenders are in this lot too, but also by the corrupt politicians that are attempting to tear down the laws that protect them from being an …

When in Nashville. These days, it seems as if country and folk have never been closer together. In addition to major young stars such as Zach Bryan, Sam Barber, Evan Honer and more rising in the genre with a folk-centric sound, we’ve seen a plethora of major folk artists cross over into the country world as of late. From Noah Kahan collaborating with the likes of Bryan, Avery Anna and more to The Lumineers collaborating with Bryan and being featured on Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday celebration at the Hollywood Bowl last year, they’ve come rather frequently. Lately, none other than Mumford & Sons has been the latest folk staple to cross over into country. In case you’re not familiar with the English folk band, they’ve become one of the pillars of the “stomp clap” folk movement that dominated the 2010s. Scoring early hits with “Little Lion Man,” “The Cave,” “White Blank Page” and most notably, “I Will Wait,” the band has become synonymous with today’s modern folk sound, along with The Lumineers, Gregory Alan Isakov and the Fleet Foxes. As alluded to earlier, they’ve scored some major country crossovers in 2025, particularly. In August, they collaborated with Lainey Wilson when they brought her out for a surprise performance of Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” at their New Orleans show, along with Molly Tuttle, during their brief, train-hopping Railroad Revival Tour. Last month, they were featured predominantly during the Grand Ole Opry’s historic, first-ever international show in London at the Royal Albert Hall, along with the likes of Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Ashley McBryde and more. Serving as a bridge between London and the U.S., frontman, Marcus Mumford, would join Luke Combs for a stellar cover of Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind” at the event. Last night, Mumford & Sons made their third country crossover of the year so far, bringing out Wilson once again during a surprise performance at their Nashville show at Bridgestone Arena to perform her breakout 2020 #1 hit, “Things a Man Oughta Know,” and their 2009 hit, “Awake My Soul.” As for “Things a Man Oughta Know,” it might be my favorite rendition of the song to date. Sharing a single microphone, Mumford and Wilson’s harmonies sound nothing short of incredible here. Couple their harmonies with the gorgeous mandolin and cello in the background, you have yourself one of the intimate performances of the track you’ll ever see. I never thought I’d say this, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a Mumford & Sons country album at this point. Their stylings this year have simply been that good. “Things A Man Oughta Know” @maggie.rainwater Wrapping up a special night in Nashville… @Lainey Wilson joined @Mumford & Sons for a single mic version of “Things a Man Oughta Know” as part of their encore at Bridgestone Arena.

Sounds fair… Megan Moroney has been teasing that her next album is coming soon, and she’s releasing the first single “Beautiful Things” tomorrow… and while I’m sure there will be a few tunes about some of her exes, she’ll never tell which ones. Megan has of course been linked to fellow country artists in Riley Green and Morgan Wallen, and I’m sure she’s dated plenty of other lower-profile guys who we’ve never even known about, but don’t expect her to ever tell who any of them are about. In an interview with Today, Megan revealed that she usually tells people if she wrote a song about them, or inspired by them, except of course her ex-boyfriends… “I definitely, well, not everyone, actually. But the people, like, ‘Heaven By Noon,’ I like let my aunt know, I called her. and ‘The Girls,’ obviously I showed my friends. They were in like the lyric video canvas teaser thing, so they knew. But like as far as me writing about my ex-boyfriends, I usually don’t give them heads up.” I mean, why would she? Part of the satisfaction of it has to be keeping them on their toes in terms of wondering if she might write something good, or bad, about them. Another interesting thing Megan talked about how her team doesn’t even have access to her social media accounts, because she wants to run them all so they feel very organic and true to her so her fans feel like they really know her: “I do think that another aspect of my marketing is like, I’m such a fan of artists, and I know what I want from artists, so the fact that I am also an artist, that helps. and I just wanted to feel very organic, and like my fans could know me and be my friend. I see everything, I’m watching everyone. I keep up with my fans, like, when my fans get engaged, I’m like oh my God, congrats. Invite me to the wedding.” Pretty much anything Megan posts goes viral, so I think that’s a winning strategy, and also pretty unique in terms of other artist because many of them, especially at Megan’s level, don’t even want to look at their own social media accounts. It’s definitely helped her connect with her very large, dedicated fanbase, and you can watch the interview below: @todayshow Espresso martini Cream corn In the last year, #Countrymusic singer-songwriter #MeganMoroney has won the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year and MTV’s VMA for Best Country, opened for fellow country artist #KennyChesney and wrapped up her own SOLD OUT headlining tour. And that’s just a few of the things she’s accomplished this year. With even more on the horizon for Moroney, TODAY caught up with the star backstage at one of her sold out shows on the #AmIOkay tour for a few quick questions. @Megan Moroney ♬ Latin guitar/Western music/Video/Light/Commercial(1408961) – SUNNY HOOD STUDIO Just a couple weeks ago, Megan shared a live performance video of “Beautiful Things,” which was the first time she had played it live at a concert. Megan told the crowd at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, that she was inspired after her niece was born to write something that she can listen to one day and not feel so alone. She explained that it broke her heart in some way looking at this perfect little baby and knowing that, inevitably, the world would be cruel to her and she would lose that sweet innocent the first time she doesn’t get invited to a party with all of her friends, or has her heart broken by a boy for the first time. Megan explained that while it is for her niece, in many ways, the song is for her and a reminder that “we’re all going through something.” It’s obviously an extremely personal song, and I have a feeling it will be another huge hit for Megan following the success of her sophomore album, Am I Okay?, and you can watch the live performance video below.
