Billy Bob Thornton clearly has a soft spot for classic country music — and he believes a couple of iconic songs capture the inner world of his Landman character, Tommy Norris, better than anything else. Season 2 of Landman debuted on November 16, nearly a year after its first season premiered, and it immediately shattered records. With more than 9 million viewers in its first few days, the premiere became the biggest season or series debut in Paramount+ history, tripling the numbers from Season 1. Taylor Sheridan, once again, has another major hit. Much of the show’s success is tied…

Shakira shared a heartfelt moment with fans after bringing her two sons onstage during a tour stop in Buenos Aires. On Wednesday, December 10, the 48-year-old superstar performed in Argentina as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour — and surprised the crowd by inviting Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, to join her.

For months, Riley Green has been dropping quiet hints that his next big move might take him off the concert stage and straight onto television. And this time, it’s not just speculation.

Riley Green is stacking up the wins lately. Over the weekend, he earned his fourth Country Airplay #1 with “Don’t Mind If I Do,” his second duet with Ella Langley. It marks Ella’s second #1 on that chart, and together they become only the second duo since 1990 to score multiple collaborative #1 hits — the first being Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani in 2020. Riley also hits another milestone: he’s the first artist since Taylor Swift to notch back-to-back Country Airplay #1s with songs written completely by himself. His solo write “Worst Way” topped the chart for two weeks…
Tim McGraw certainly got people talking during his recent Tim McGraw: Live in Vegas shows — and not for the reasons you might expect. While he’s filling in for Dolly Parton’s postponed residency, the buzz online had nothing to do with his vocals or the setlist… it was all about the pants. A clip went viral showing McGraw wearing a pair of ultra-tight, suede-looking neutral trousers with long fringe running down both legs. They were impossible to ignore — and the internet definitely didn’t hold back. @bigshow412 @Tim McGraw put on a great show in Vegas during the NFR! #timmcgraw…
Country Artist Releases Hymn to Refocus Christmas on Its True Meaning Warren Zeiders’ newest single is his interpretation of one of the most enduring hymns ever written — a song that crosses borders, styles, and generations. His rendition of “How Great Thou Art,” though not traditionally a Christmas carol, is quickly becoming a meaningful addition to the season because of its message about Jesus. The hymn, which originated in Sweden in the late 1800s, has been recorded countless times, yet Zeiders manages to bring a distinct edge to it. Known for blending rock influences with modern country, he leans into…
Simply stunning. This weekend, Carrie Underwood quietly slipped into her home church’s annual Christmas program and surprised everyone by taking the stage to perform “O Holy Night” and “All Is Well.” She did the same thing at Rolling Hills Community Church last year, showing up unannounced, and once again the congregation had no idea she would be part of the event. Underwood has always been open about her faith, so it’s not unusual for her to participate in worship or drop in for moments like this — but it never fails to take people’s breath away. Her Christmas record My…
