She was interviewed by “Wired” and said, quote, “Well, the first song was actually before I started writing, before I could even write it down. I was about five years old. “I had a little cobb-doll that mama made me, and I named her Tiny Tasseltop, ’cause she had corn tassels for hair. “So I wrote a little song, [it goes], ‘Little Tiny Tasseltop, I love you an awful lot . . . Hope you never go away, I want you to stay’ . . . Tada.” Dolly’s first record was “Puppy Love” when she was 10.
Miranda Lambert loves her fans. She proved it once again at her show in Minnesota last week when she spotted a young girl and called her up on stage. Miranda told the crowd, “The cutest little cowgirl is wearing her hot pink boots, and I just gotta hug her.

The little girl’s mom later posted on Instagram and said, “This momma is speechless and sobbing. I could have only ever imagined for her to meet the woman who has inspired me so much. I will never forget this memory.”
Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO are trying for a child through IVF and surrogacy. Someone commented on Bunnie’s post, “To each their own, I would think carrying the child is so much more of the natural experience of motherhood.” And added that it would “affect that perfect body of yours.” Bunnie screenshot it to share with fans how these types of comments can be hurtful. She said, “This is so gross. You guys think I don’t want to carry because of my body . . . I’m scared because I’ve had two ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, and at my age, I do not want to go through that again . . .”Please watch how you say things to people on the internet. You aren’t in their shoes . . . You know nothing of the journey we’ve been through, only what we’ve shown you. “This right here is exactly why I won’t be posting our journey anymore.” Bunnie XO is 44 years old.
