The corn queen is back. Hailey Whitters released her first single in almost two years today, a beautiful and striking tune called "Casseroles," which she wrote alongside Hillary Lindsey, Tom Douglas and James Slater. Hailey says the song was inspired by the loss of her own brother thirteen years ago, and how she learned to navigate grief and life from that tragic point forward. She was particularly struck by the thought of, "What happens when the casseroles stop coming and everyone has moved on, but it feels like you never will?" which is something I think many people who have lost someone close to them can relate to: "I was sent this record from three of my favorite collaborators who've written many songs that have defined the foundation of my appreciation for modern country music — Hillary Lindsey, Tom Douglas and James Slater. During my first listen, I was absolutely floored. I lost my brother suddenly thirteen years ago, and from that moment on, my life was changed forever. I particularly remember everyone bringing loads of food and casseroles over and how I couldn't eat for days because I was so distraught. Remembering that moment was what made this song hit so heavy for me. What happens when the casseroles stop coming and everyone has moved on, but it feels like you never will? As heavy and somber as the lyric and melody is, I also think there's hope in the message and pray that it lands between ears that need to hear it." The lyrics paint a sad picture of life after loss, and how lonely it can feel to be surrounded by people yet feel like your "under the ocean": "Joe lost his wife, he’s lost in the blue He wonders what he’s gonna do When the casseroles stop coming Right now his house is packed to the gills Everyone’s dressed in black ties and heels And they’re all floating round the room But he feels like he’s under the ocean" It can be difficult to write a song about grief and capture the sad, dark and even hopeful feelings in such a powerful way, but this song is a winner and the concept of having people bring food, and obviously casseroles, after the loss of a loved one is so universal and hits close to home for many. If you're unfamiliar with Hailey's other music, you should know that she got her start in Nashville as a very talented writer, and has released several great albums in Black Sheep, The Dream and Raised. Most recently, in 2023, she put out a great EP called I'm In Love. Additionally, that same year, Whitters was nominated for New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards and took home the ACM Award for New Female Artist of the Year. She also saw her Platinum hit “Everything She Ain't” debut on the Billboard Hot 100, and scored her first top 20 hit at country radio with it as well. She's collaborated lately with Evan Honer and even Brooks & Dunn, and will perform at Morgan Wallen's inaugural Sand in My Boots festival on May 16th in Gulf Shores, Alabama, as well as Under the Big Sky Music Festival in Montana. I'm hopeful that this is just the start of more new music to come from the Iowa native in 2025, and you can listen to "Casseroles" below.

Time to celebrate. There's probably not many people more excited for President Donald Trump's inauguration next week than Kid Rock. The rocker, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, has been an outspoken supporter of the incoming president since day one, and has taken a lot of criticism from those in the media for not being afraid to speak his mind. And he doesn't care. Kid Rock has built up his long career and hardcore fan base by not giving a shit about what others think of him, which has allowed him to become a mainstay in the country rock scene for over two decades now. And it seems the tides are turning these days. After President Trump's victory in the 2024 election, Kid Rock no doubt feels vindicated as much of what he's said in the past takes hold. So what better time than now to celebrate with some of his fans? The American Badass announced today that he's heading out on an arena tour this spring, featuring seven dates in March and April spread out largely across the midwest. In a video posted to his social media, Kid Rock says that he wanted the opportunity to gather with other like-minded patriots as America enters into this new chapter: "I think a celebration with the fans isn't only in order, it's overdue... It's definitely time to celebrate with some other like-minded, commonsense, hardworking patriots who unapologetically love this country." The tour kicks off on March 21st in Omaha, Nebraska and wraps up April 19th in Kansas City, and Kid Rock is bringing along some other patriots to celebrate with him. Chris Janson will serve as the opener for the March shows, while Uncle Kracker will be joining Kid Rock on the road for the shows in April. And in an effort to ensure that tickets actually get into the hands of fans and not scalpers or bots, he's launched a pre-sale registration that will allow registered fans to buy tickets before they go on sale to the public. Starting this morning, fans can go to kidrocktouring.com to register for a pre-sale code, which will allow you to buy tickets before the general onsale. You can register for pre-sale code now through Monday, January 20th (Inauguration Day) at 6pm eastern/5pm central, and tickets will go on sale to pre-sale code holders at 10am on Wednesday, January 22. I have a feeling these shows will sell out during the pre-sale, but if not, tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 24 at 10am local time (except in Omaha and Minneapolis, where the sale will start at noon local time). In expressing his excitement for the tour, Kid Rock says that fans deserve a celebration after taking a lot of shit over the last few years: “I wanted to play a few shows to celebrate President Trump's victory and all things MAGA! Being a huge supporter since he came down that escalator, myself and fans have taken a lot of heat from the liberal media, etc. I still feel now is no time to gloat as we need to try and unite this great country...But... I see no wrong in celebrating with a few like minded, hard working patriots who love a big rock n roll show and this country! The good lord knows, WE DESERVE IT!” For more information, and to sign up for the pre-sale, head on over to kidrocktouring.com between now and Monday, January 20 at 6pm eastern. I have a feeling this is going to be a hell of a party. https://www.instagram.com/p/DE7pfNNRsfA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Kid Rock Spring 2025 Tour Dates Friday, March 21st – Chi Health Center – Omaha, NE Saturday, March 22nd – Target Center – Minneapolis, MN Friday, March 28th – KFC Yum!

The Supreme Court released on Friday its ruling on the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, popularly known as the TikTok ban. In a per curiam decision, the court ruled that the ban was not a violation of the First Amendment, which would require TikTok parent company ByteDance Ltd. to divest from the social media platform or cease operations in the United States. In the opinion, the court said that “TikTok’s scale and susceptibility to foreign adversary control, together with the vast swaths of sensitive data the platform collects, justify differential treatment to address the Government’s national security concerns.” The ban will officially go into effect on Sunday, January 19, prohibiting the social media platform from operating in the U.S. until ByteDance has divested from it. The president does have the authority to provide an additional grace period of 90 days if the parent company demonstrates that it has made significant progress on divestment, but the Chinese parent company has indicated that it currently has no intention of selling off TikTok. Joe Biden has declined to enforce the ban during his final days in office, a spokesman citing the fact that it takes effect over a holiday weekend before the inauguration. That will leave the final enforcement of the ban to the incoming Trump administration. Donald Trump, although supportive of a TikTok ban in the past, promised to “save TikTok” during his campaign. “Why would I want to get rid of TikTok?” he posted on Truth Social earlier this month, with a graphic displaying his campaign’s extensive reach on the platform. The post Supreme Court Approves TikTok Ban appeared first on The American Conservative.
