"We have been flying blind."

A bizarre object, believed to have fallen from space, was discovered on fire in the remote Western Australian Outback near a mining site, about 30km from Newman, on Saturday afternoon around 2pm. Staff found it smouldering on a rarely used access road with no ground signs of impact. Authorities assume it’s space debris. The item, […]

Young love and humble beginnings. Back in March, influencer KT Smith was a guest on an episode of Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast. KT shares a 5-year old son, Indigo, with Morgan Wallen, and the two were previously engaged during an on-again, off-again relationship between 2016 and 2019. Since this aired, KT and her current husband (soon to be ex-husband) Luke Scornavacco broke up and got back together, and during this particular episode, KT talked a lot about what led to their split and even said Luke’s career as an influencer gave her “the ick.” They actually stayed together for a little while after that, but earlier this month, Luke announced that the pair was officially getting divorced. Shocker… But also during that episode, KT opened up about her relationship with Morgan, which happened mostly before his skyrocket to stardom. KT said Morgan is a great dad, but she also discussed details from their relationship and prior engagement. The full podcast is almost two hours long, but a fan who must’ve watched the episode behind the paywall clipped part of it where KT talks about Morgan’s proposal to her, which took place in the JC Penny parking lot in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Morgan is from. KT explained how in love she was, saying she thought Morgan “hung the moon and the stars back then,” and she didn’t care that the engagement ring was a $75 Swarovski ring, because she would accepted a “ring pop.” She recalled exactly how Morgan asked her too, right before work: “Got engaged… I thought he hung the moon and the stars. Like everything that he did, I was amazed by. My ring was from, what’s that store in the mall? Swarovski. It was like a $75 ring. I didn’t care. I was just like, I don’t want a big ring. It was like the whole, you could give me a ring pop thing, and I wouldn’t care. So I had to go to work right after that, so we had about five minutes, and in the parking lot, he said, ‘Are we gonna do this or what?’ And then we were engaged. That was the proposal at the JCPenney parking lot in Knoxville. And I mean, I loved it, and I was thrilled.” The pair ultimately spilt up, obviously, but they do share a son together and clearly both of their lives have changed a lot since then. Much of their relationship has been a mystery because Morgan understandably doesn’t talk about it, but it was a big chapter of his life especially at the beginning of his music career and it sounds like there was a lot of love between them, even if they weren’t meant to be in the long run. Of course, the engagement story paints a real picture of where they were at almost ten years ago, a striking contrast for Morgan especially now that he’s hit country music mega stardom and has had hit after hit, and sells out stadiums all over the world.

Oklahoma State might be having a tough time this football season, but the team’s struggles didn’t bring down the homecoming spirit in Stillwater over the weekend. Oklahoma State does homecoming unlike any other university. I know I might be a little biased as an alumna of the school, but the spirit of OSU’s Walkaround and the house decks on display make it so much more than just a football game. Each year, the Greek organizations on campus pair up and begin planning their homecoming house decks more than a year in advance. The students start “pomping” during the first few weeks of school and are required to complete a certain number of pomping hours each week leading up to homecoming weekend. Now, I’m sure some of you are sitting there scratching your heads thinking, “What the hell is pomping?” Well, as a seasoned pomper, I’m here to give you the rundown. Oklahoma State fraternity and sorority members are responsible for bringing these house decks to life. We spend countless hours in the fraternity house pushing tiny squares of tissue paper into chicken wire using the end of a pencil. Following a color-coded grid, each piece of paper is carefully placed to create incredibly detailed images — often with moving parts welded by fraternity members. Right before homecoming, the students participate in All Night Pomp which is when each house begins to assemble all of the pomped panels, handing them up and making sure that all the moving parts of your house deck work. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oklahoma State University (@okstate) Then, the night before the homecoming game, folks from all over flock to Stillwater — more than 80,000 were expected at this year’s Walkaround, according to KOCO News — to view and admire these pieces of art during walkaround. Who would have thought that glue, tissue paper, and chicken wire could make such elaborate art, eh? Each year I am always in awe of the designs that are featured on the decks, and this year there was a trend that I was especially loving across many of the decks—red dirt music. Last year Stillwater hosted The Boys From Oklahoma event, which was the massive reunion of Cross Canadian Ragweed and a huge love fest to celebrate red dirt country music featuring many other talents like the Turnpike Troubadours, The Great Divide, Stoney LaRue, Jason Boland and the Stragglers and more. The even was such a hit, “The Boys From Oklahoma” concert is heading back to Stillwater’s Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Round 2 of the event will fall during Red Dirt Music Week (April 7-13), a newly instated celebration instituted by Stillwater Mayor William H. Joyce earlier this year. To honor Red Dirt Music Week and the incredible music that’s come out of Stillwater, many fraternities and sororities featured famed red dirt artists on their homecoming decks this year. Kappa Alpha Theta and FarmHouse had an amazing Rolling Stone magazine feature that cycled through some of the musical powerhouses with roots in Stillwater, including Garth Brooks, Wyatt Flores, and Cross Canadian Ragweed. @life.gave.u.lemons legends make homecoming decks & @Wyatt Flores you’ve made it!!! #osuhomecoming #americasgreatest #okstate #pomping ♬ Please Don’t Go – Wyatt Flores Jason Boland was given a massive feature on the Tri Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha deck, which is beyond deserving given Boland is such a staple red dirt artist. @stella_rod6 happy homecoming 2025!!#americasgreatesthomecoming #osuhomecoming #trilamb ♬ If I Ever Get Back to Oklahoma – Jason Boland & The Stragglers Kappa Delta and Alpha Gamma Rho tipped their hat the Turnpike and Ragweed, while also celebrating the re-opening of the legendary Wormy Dog Saloon. Social media had picked up on the Wormy Dog posting to their social media accounts, and were thrilled to see the bar is returning to Stillwater after closing the doors of the OKC location in 2017. @ellisoncaroline_ we done!!! | #foryou #okstate #agrkd #homecoming #americasgreatesthomecoming ♬ Traveler’s Song – Flatland Cavalry Oklahoma Stated does homecoming right and it’s incredible to see the university honor the country legends that have come out of the city of Stillwater and the state of Oklahoma. They don’t call it “America’s Greatest Homecoming” for nothing… God bless the Pokes and red dirt music.The post Oklahoma State University Pays Homage To Red Dirt Legends Like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Turnpike Troubadours & More With Epic Homecoming House Decks first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
