YouTube on Tuesday.In May 2023, Allen’s manager accused him of raping her and repeatedly subjecting her to sexual abuse and harassment over the course of 18 months. She was identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit.At the time, Allen said they did have an affair and a “sexual relationship” for nearly two years, but it was allegedly consensual.“She was my day-to-day manager, so she was with me everywhere I went. We’d hook up then we’d stop, and then when we’d stop… she’d get all sad and upset, so to make her feel better, we’d start hooking up again,” he told Gifford, 70.He added: “I should’ve seen that she was into me.

died by suicide in February 2023, the country star performed for the first time since his death on Monday night.The occasion for her triumphant comeback was the “Walkin’ After Midnight” tribute to Patsy Cline at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium.“How we doin’ tonight, y’all? I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m incredibly nervous right now,” she said in a video shared via TikTok while addressing the crowd. “It’s been the first time I’ve been up on stage in a while.”To make it even more of an emotional moment, the 2006 “American Idol” alum even sang a song that she co-wrote with her late husband: “The Woman I Am.”“My husband and I actually wrote this song together, gosh, over a decade ago,” she said.

Luke Bryan took a brutal fall as he performed onstage at the Coast City Country festival in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday — all because of a fan’s cellphone.He then asked a crowd member to show him footage. “You’re Snapchatting. You can’t Snapchat this s – – t,” he said.Despite the 47-year-old country singer falling on his back, he laughed about the incident and asked the audience if anyone caught the moment on camera.“Hold on.

Jelly Roll is very big on giving back.According to Entertainment Tonight, the country music star helped launch a music studio inside of Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was once incarcerated.The outlet reported that a portion of the proceeds from Jelly Roll’s Bridgestone Arena headlining show in December and the Redemption Songs event earlier this year helped fund the program.ET included a quote from the press release of the program that read, “This collaboration, featuring music luminaries Jeffrey Steele and ERNEST, alongside 35 pro/hit songwriters who helped kick off the program launch, embodies the belief in music’s role in personal growth and redemption, showcasing the journey from juvenile detention to success.”In December 2022, the musician spoke to People magazine about creating a music studio in the detention center and how he wants “to bring hope” to troubled youths.“It’s important, man. I think it’s important that we give back, especially [to] our kids,” he told the outlet at the time.

Tyler Childers kicked off his ‘Mule Pull Tour’ at San Diego’s Viejas Arena.That night, the country superstar performed 22 songs; 19 with a full band and three on his own when he slowed things down with a brief mid-show acoustic set, according to Set List FM.The following evening, Childers was back at it again in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum. This time, he played 25 songs, switching up the set list and mixing in new covers.He continued to keep things fresh at his next two gigs as well proving that no two ‘Mule Pull’ shows are the same.And if you want to see what Childers has up his sleeve when he comes to a venue near you — New Yorkers, he’s headlining at Madison Square Garden on May 29-30 and at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 3 — we found tickets for all remaining concerts on his tour schedule.Some are shockingly cheap, too (especially considering he’s bringing along big name special guests S.G.

allegedly throwing a chair off the sixth story of rooftop bar in Nashville, Tennessee.Rich, 50, who is one half of the duo Big & Rich with Big Kenny, shared his advice for the embattled 30-year-old “Wasted on You” singer, who was arrested on Sunday night and later charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.In a post he shared on X, the “Save A Horse” hitmaker explained that he empathized with Wallen due to his own past struggles with fame.“Reading about Morgan Wallen this morning, and I can’t help but recall all the destructive, crazy things I did early on in my career,” Rich wrote in a post that he shared on X on Monday.He continued, “The combo of intense pressure, expectations and over the top success is a dangerous cocktail.”“Thank God I had great mentors who helped guide me out of that mindset, and I hope Morgan has some people around him who care about him enough to help him find a new approach to life,” Rich added.“It takes a lifetime to build what he’s built, and one second to destroy it all. I’m rooting for him to turn it around.”The Metro Nashville Police Department shared Wallen’s booking photo on social media along with an arrest report stating he was “booked early today on 3 cts of felony reckless endangerment and 1 ct of misdemeanor disorderly conduct for throwing a chair from the rooftop of Chief’s Bar Sun night.

ScoopNashville.com, a site chronicling Music City arrests, including Wallen’s — told The Post. “That has just been his thing.“He’s like a college guy.

allegedly hurled a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar Sunday night, narrowly missing cops on the ground. The blurry clip, obtained by TMZ, shows an unidentifiable object fly over the side of the roof of the Chief’s Bar and quickly plummet to the ground below on the busy downtown street. Wallen, 30, was arrested for allegedly tossing the chair over the edge of the sixth-floor rooftop of the Broadway bar, owned by fellow country singer Erich Church, just after 10:45 p.m.

following his heart attack on Thursday night. “Ford remains in the ICU, with his condition steadily improving in a positive direction,” reps for his team told People on Monday.“At this time, his family is requesting privacy and appreciates your continued thoughts and prayers.”Ford — nee Jason Farris Brown — first rose to prominence as a professional golfer before turning to music, putting out his first album in 2008. He’s best known for songs such as “Slow Ride,” “Times We Had,” “Dirt Road Anthem” and “Must Be the Country.” In the past, he has collaborated with various stars including Jake Owen, Chase Rice, Walker Hayes, Toby Keith, Lady A and Willie Nelson.Ford had just finished his set at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row — a restaurant and night club named after the hit singer — in Gilbert, Ariz., when he had the medical emergency on Thursday night.

according to local media.Officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department claimed the chair landed three feet away from them.Cops arrested Wallen and booked him just after 12:30 a.m. Monday.The “Cowgirls” singer was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.“At 10:53 pm Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct,” his attorney Worrick Robinson told The Post in a statement.

who died in February at age 62, was honored during Sunday night’s broadcast as singers Brooks & Dunn, Sammy Hagar, and Lainey Wilson each paid their respects with renditions of his songs.The musicians performed hits like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” “I Love This Bar” and “How Do You Like Me Now?!” at the ceremony, which took place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.Keith, who died following a battle with stomach cancer, was also honored with a series of poignant speeches made by his longtime friends and fellow singers.In the audience, the late performer’s three children Krystal Keith, Shelley Covel Rowland, and Stelen Keith Covel watched the loving tributes. The “Red Solo Cup” hitmaker’s wife, Tricia Lucus, was not in attendance.At one point during the broadcast, the cameras cut to the late singer’s three children who were visibly overcome with emotion and moved to tears.Following the performance, former MLB player Roger Clemens — who was a longtime friend of the late performer — read out a loving memorial in honor of Keith.“Thank you for sharing your dad with all of us.

set an attendance record for Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, joking that he would boast the title “until Taylor Swift comes to town.” “They told me right before I walked on stage that this is the single most-attended concert in the history of this building,” Wallen, 30, told a cheering crowd in a video uploaded to TikTok. “And that we are the first people to do that two nights in a row.” “I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town in the fall,” the country singer said good-naturedly.Despite his good intentions, the “Whiskey Glasses” crooner‘s remarks were met with a tidal wave of boos when Swift’s name was mentioned. “We ain’t got to boo, we ain’t got to boo,” the country star said as many fans continued to express their displeasure.

according to 12News.The “Workin’ on” singer was transported to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa where he is in the Intensive Care Unit.Ford was listed in stable but critical condition, the outlet added.The Post has reached out to his reps for comment.Ford, whose real name is Jason Farris Brown, is prominent on the country-rap music scene and has been featured on several tracks with other country music stars.He, alongside Brantley Gilbert, co-wrote “Dirt Road Anthem” which the duo originally recorded before Jason Aldean made the song famous on his 2010 album “My Kinda Party.” Ford has also collaborated with various stars including Jake Owen, Chase Rice, Walker Hayes, Toby Keith, Lady A and Willie Nelson.In 2022, Ford was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a chronic neuromuscular autoimmune disease that causes weakness in the voluntary muscles.The singer previously said the disease affected his eye more than his throat or face.“It hadn’t really affected my throat, but it really affected my eye. I had no control over my right eye,” Colt told Taste of Country in 2023.

Beyoncé and Paul McCartney.The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer covers the 1968 Beatles beauty “Blackbird” — written by Macca, although credited to both McCartney and John Lennon — on her countrified new album “Cowboy Carter” that was released last Friday to rave reviews (including mine) and record-shattering streams.Bey’s honey- and harmony-coated rendition of “The White Album” classic — featuring African-American female country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts making like Destiny’s Southern Child — is a revelation that repurposes the song from a black female perspective.And Sir Paul has given Beyonce’s “Blackbird” — which is styled as “Blackbiird” on “Cowboy Carter” — the most royal of blessings.“I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.

Who’d have known she could be so shady?Lily Allen threw shade at Beyoncé when she joked that she is “getting some help” in maintaining her youthful appearance. “She does look great,” Miquita Oliver said while hosting Allen, 38, on her podcast “Miss Me?” “She makes turning 40 exciting,” added Oliver, 39, while the pair discussed Beyoncé’s brand-new country album “Cowboy Carter.” “Yeah, but she’s getting some help,” quipped Allen. The remark did not sit well with Oliver, who quickly jumped to the “Single Ladies” singer’s defense.

Prudential Center on Saturday, March 30.Opening act Tyler Hubbard had just finished wooing the crowd with his stable of rootsy country hits — “5 Foot 9” jerked everyone out of their seats and kept us on our feet until the final note of his infectious closer “Dancin’ In The Country.”“No twerking, just twanging,” my friend smiled, referencing the gals behind us whose southern drawls rang just as loud as their excited belts.In all seriousness, this rabble of fans was a rather tame group.There were handfuls of young sprogs spread throughout the stands, the expected besotten lovebirds, and older adults who stayed sober enough to sing along without butchering a single lyric.But, Kane Brown’s theatrical entrance was what grabbed our attention.Now on his sixth tour — this one dubbed ‘In the Air’ — the crossover country artist knows a thing or two about a grand opening.The stage was reset within minutes. Sheer curtains drawn back, clouds of smoke escaping from the ground, and silhouettes of the band members flashing in each corner.A few snare drums and firecrackers later, the drapes finally fell, and Brown descended from the sky sporting a laidback black Canadian tux, speckled in glistening rhinestones, and a pair of white sneakers.

Morgan Wallen will play back-to-back gigs at the Colts’ home Lucas Oil Stadium as part of his ongoing ‘One Night At A Time Tour’ with special guests Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith and Lauren Watkins.This pair of concerts are the 30-year-old’s first official headlining sets since November 2023.

new album “Cowboy Carter” — and one of them is none other than music legend Stevie Wonder.After accepting the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Monday night, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer gushed over the 25-time Grammy winner who handed her the gong.“Now, Beyoncé is once again changing music and culture,” Wonder said of her latest record. “And when she’s not changing music, she’s changing the world, fighting the good fight.”As the mom of three accepted the award, she thanked the “I Wish” hitmaker for “making a way for all of us.”“And thank you for playing the harmonica on ‘Jolene,’” she added.“Tonight, you called me an innovator and for that, I’m very grateful,” the 32-time Grammy winner said.

Koe Wetzel.One could easily call his music “country,” “post-grunge,” or “hillbilly punk-rock,” and any one of the three technically wouldn’t be wrong.No matter how you define the 31-year-old singer, you can catch him on the road in August from July through October as part of his recently announced ‘Damn Near Normal Tour’ with special guests Treaty Oak Revival, Kolby Cooper, Pecos & The Rooftops, Tanner Usrey and more on select dates.That includes a stop at Atlantic City, NJ’s Etess Arena at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Friday, Aug.

record-breaking 32-time Grammy winner cleverly addressed never winning one of the Academy’s most coveted trophies in her new song “Sweet Honey Buckin'” included on Friday’s “Cowboy Carter” album release. “AOTY [Artist of the Year], I ain’t win/ I ain’t stuntin’ ’bout them/ Take that s – – t on the chin/ Come back and f – – k up the pen,” Beyoncé, 42, says on the track.Her albums “I Am … Sasha Fierce,” “Beyonce,” “Lemonade,” and “Renaissance” have all been nominated for Album of the Year but the “Single Ladies” songstress has never snagged the category.Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z addressed this issue during the 2024 Grammys in February, addressing the Academy directly, “I’m just sayin’, we want y’all to get it right.”“We love y’all … at least get it close to right,” Jay, who has 24 Grammys of his own, continued, “And obviously it’s subjective — y’all don’t gotta clap at everything — obviously it’s subjective because it’s music and it’s opinion-based.

Cowboy Carter,” is a protest against the Nashville establishment after previously being treated poorly.“This is her life, this has been her life: You tell Bey she can’t do something, she does it,” a source close to the singer told The Post. “If you don’t invite her to the party; she will create a bigger party and shut yours down.

famous mom’s album “Act II: Cowboy Carter.”The country music-inspired record dropped on Friday, with Rumi appearing on the single “Protector.”“Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?” Rumi croons on the track as the Grammy winner, 42, then sings: “And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way/ Born to be a protector, mm-hmm/ Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own/ I will be your projector, mmm, mm-hmm.”“Even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own/ I will be your projector, yeah, yeah/ And even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own/ I will be your protector, born to be a protector,” Beyoncé goes on.Rumi — who is the twin sister of brother Sir Carter — is not the only singer in the family. Alongside parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z, older sister Blue Ivy, 12, also has some pipes on her.

“Cowboy Carter” — the Beyoncé country album that is dropping at midnight — you don’t have to hold up before she brings some more of that “Texas Hold ‘Em” twang.Here are six other black country artists who will get your yeehaw up before Mrs. Carter takes us all the way to country town on “Act II” of her “Renaissance” trilogy — which will include a tribute to Linda Martell, the first African-American woman to play the Grand Ole Opry — at midnight.Coincidentally, Brown will be playing the New York area — bringing his In the Air Tour to Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Saturday — on the same weekend that “Cowboy Carter” drops.

Willie Nelson may be.The nonagenarian country icon — who’s been on the road since the mid 1950s (!) — just announced that he’ll drop into Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion to celebrate July 4 with his Outlaw Tour co-headliners Bob Dylan and Robert Plant.Now if that’s not American, we don’t know what is.They’ll be joined by Plant’s partner in crime Alison Krauss as well as Mavis Staples, Maren Morris and Celisse at Nelson’s annual Fourth of July Picnic.It should be noted that while the concert is taking place in Camden, NJ, it’s being labeled as a Philadelphia event.In step with that sentiment, Nelson shared a statement.“I am thrilled to bring the 4th of July Picnic to Philadelphia for the first time in our storied history,” the 90-year-old said in a press release. “It’s an honor to host such an extraordinary lineup of talent in the birthplace of our country.

“Act II: Cowboy Carter,” due March 29.Mrs. Carter’s news left the Beyhive buzzing, with many recalling the cold reception the artist appeared to have once received from the country-music community, which inspired her to make her new LP.“It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote in an unusually lengthy post.And fans are speculating that Beyoncé is referring to the 2016 Country Music Association Awards, when she performed “Daddy Lessons” — a distinctly country ditty off her much-lauded “Lemonade” album — with the Chicks.Country star Alan Jackson reportedly walked out on the performance in protest, later tweeting #KeepItCountry.But seven years after that controversial CMAs appearance, Beyoncé has become the first black woman to have a No.

Nelson, 90, released his cover of the song in 2001 on his album of the same name.

Sheryl Crow’s crystalline vocals all night long, but her opening set was not why I trekked to Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on a Thursday night, with work looming large the next morning. The rest of the impatient crowd seemed to feel the same, pining for Zach Bryan to fall out of the sky and onto center stage to cure our aching for his raspy voice and gut-wrenching lyrics.In true country music fashion, the makeup of the crowd was somewhat jarring.
