Shania Twain famously name-dropped Brad Pitt in her 1998 song, “That Don’t Impress Me Much”.  But that was a long time ago . . . he’s 59 now, and obviously HIDEOUS.  So if that song came out today, who would she pick? Someone just asked her in an interview in the U.K., and her answer was . . . Channing Tatum.  She joked that it might be harder to fit his name into the lyrics.  But then she tried it out and said, “Yeah, that works.”

Old Dominion singer Matt Ramsey brought a fan named Tye onstage during their show in Calgary over the weekend.  Tye had a sign saying he wanted to play guitar on the song “Nowhere Fast”, and Matt took him up on the offer.  Tye even threw some great harmonies.
