Now that's a fine piece of jewelry. Morgan Wallen recently wrapped up a huge 2024, which notably included the country star breaking the record for the highest-selling country tour of all-time with his One Night At A Time tour that hit stadiums all over the country, and even some very large venues overseas. He had quite a few openers throughout the year that rotated on different dates, including Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson, Nate Smith, Bryan Martin, Lauren Watkins and Ella Langley. He also had Ernest and Riley Green open at Hyde Park in London. And as is tradition with most big country tours, the headlining artist typically gifts their openers with something nice, and Morgan definitely went all-out with his present for his openers this year. Well, at least one of them. Ella Langley shared a picture of a gorgeous diamond necklace that Morgan designed with Happy Jewelers, that has a pendant that says "ONE NIGHT" on it, which harkens back to the tour name and the fact that they were all part of his huge year. Ella shared a video on her Instagram stories where you can really see it sparkle, and it's a beautiful piece of jewelry I'm sure she'll keep and wear forever: In terms of Morgan's personal life, it's no secret that he's had a hard time off-stage... he was sentenced a little over a week ago by Judge Cynthia Chappell to 11 months and 29 days in jail on each count, with all but seven days suspended. Those seven days are to be served in a DUI education center. The remainder of his sentence will be served on supervised probation, and will be served consecutively for a total of two years on probation. The plea agreement is subject to judicial diversion, which means that Morgan will be able to petition the court to have his record expunged if he successfully completes probation. Morgan spoke at the hearing only to confirm that he was pleading guilty, and to confirm that he understood the plea agreement and his rights as a defendant. Right before that, in November, Wallen also took home four Billboard Music Awards on the same day as his sentencing, winning in the categories of Top Male Artist, Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Collaboration (for his Post Malone collaboration “I Had Some Help”). He gave a speech that was prerecorded, thanking fans for always supporting him and giving him “so much freedom” to make music that he wants to and always “giving it a chance.” Notably, Morgan won the coveted CMA award for Entertainer of the Year a few weeks ago, and he still has yet to publicly comment on it, which says a lot about the state of award shows in general, which I find particularly interesting. Morgan shared a video on Instagram earlier this week, thanking fans for a very successful year, and also sharing some more personal thoughts saying that he went through a period of doubting his voice, and even “God’s plan,” before finding huge success and becoming the biggest thing in country music (those are my words, not his). He's hinted at new music coming next year, and has already sold out his very first Sand In My Boots festival, and with his momentum only increasing every year, 2025 stands to be even bigger somehow. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDie2PpvGA-/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=3b04e01d-5b73-42c3-87b7-b7e862a2b754

The trio of country music stars you didn't know you needed. Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson and Wheeler Walker Jr. are all remarkable, influential country music artists in their own right. All three can easily stand alone as their own thing and roar with success... but what happens when you put the three of them together? Specifically to sing one of Wheeler Walker Jr's delightfully dirty hits? Gold. That's what happens. Solid, musical gold. What do all three of these artist have in common? Other than being first class country singers? Simpson, Childers and Walker Jr. are all from my home state, the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. Simpson hails from Jackson, Kentucky, Childers is from Lawrence County, and the man behind Wheeler Walker Jr. (also known as comedian Ben Hoffman) is from Lexington, Kentucky. It would have been fitting for this raucous performance of "Sit On My Face" to take place in their Old Kentucky Home, but the trio instead came together in 2018 at the Hinterland Music Festival in St. Charles, Iowa. The festival has been known to boast some impressive lineups, but its safe to say that the event peaked when these three shared the stage. At first, it was just Wheeler Walker Jr. that walked out to share the stage with Childers and his band the Food Stamps. Tyler and the boys were set to play the 1:30pm time slot at the festival... one of the earliest of the day. Of course, these days, he's heading massive venues as one of the highest grossing touring musicians in country music. God bless it. Anyways, as Tyler toweled off and prepared for the next duet, the profane lyricist introduced himself - and fired up the crowd as he welcomed another Kentucky born artist to the stage to play guitar: "What's up? I'm Wheeler Walker Jr., I'm from Kentucky. This is my buddy Tyler from Kentucky. Tyler wanted me to play one of my songs, so kids put your f***ing ear muffs on. We've got another guy from Kentucky playing guitar with us. His name is Sturgill Simpson." The crowd went nuts when Sturgill walked out, and then the band got right into Walker Jr's 2016 vulgar hit "Sit On My Face." Wheeler takes the first verse (I won't be typing out any of the lyrics, you'll hear them soon enough), and then gets a little help from Childers in the hilariously raunchy chorus. Then surprisingly, Tyler Childers does the honor of singing the second verse, and to be honest, it's a little wild hearing the crudest country songwriting you could ever imagine coming out of Childers' mouth. That being said, it actually helps make the song that much more funny. I only wish Sturgill would have come in for the third verse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpSJDnM7gA8 That right there is how you rock the stage. After Walker Jr. gave some knucks to Tyler and walked off stage, Childers said this as he tuned up his guitar for the next song up (that I'm assuming was not another Wheeler Walker Jr. staple): ""Look that one up on iTunes and Amazon. Make sure to call into your local radio station and request that one. It's called 'Sit On My Face.'" A local radio station would have a heart attack if they got that one spinning out on the air for all to hear. Unfortunately, it seems that's one of the only times the three Kentuckians have ever shared the stage. Which is a shame, to be frank. That trio could sell out stadiums, let alone arenas, if they went on tour together. If they looked in the comment section of this video and saw how many people were psyched to see them all team up, they'd have to at least consider it: "The three of them on the same damn stage (finally!) and they play THIS song? F**king epic." "The security guard was trying so damn hard not to laugh." "One of the best moments in country music history right here." "I’d lose my mind seeing all three on stage like that." "I am dying laughing listening to Tyler sing this. I can't imagine the man who wrote the beautiful lyrics of 'Lady May' singing these words."
