I’m guessing LUKE COMBS didn’t get a lot of sleep on Father’s Day. That’s when his wife Nicole gave birth to their baby boy. He posted a photo yesterday and wrote, “[We] are over the moon in love with this little guy. Mama and baby are healthy, and we’re back home now with family. Life is good. Everyone welcome Tex Lawrence Combs to the world.”

“Live at the Opry” has released video of KEITH URBAN performing “God Whispered Your Name”. It’s from his April 22nd show at the Grand Ole Opry.
CONNER SMITH was asked what it was like opening for Thomas Rhett, “[His] catering is unbelievable. It’s like a non-stop amazing pantry that you can get what you want whenever. They had every tea imaginable. I think they had some Dr. Pepper ribs one night that were phenomenal. It was high quality stuff.”
