Lainey Wilson was performing recently in Wildwood, New Jersey, when she saw a young woman with a special sign.  It said, “I leave for the U.S. Army next month.” So, Lainey paused the show and got the fan onstage so she could be properly honored.  Lainey said, “Thank you so much for your service.  Because of people like you, I get to do what I do, and that just means the world to me.” The fan’s name is Ciarra Maynard, and she posted some great pictures on her TikTok.  Including a selfie Lainey took from on stage.

Ella Langley will release a new song called “Never Met Anyone Like You” tomorrow, and she already is teasing it on social media. One of the lines is:  “Darlin’, you’re one in a million . . . God couldn’t do it again if he tried.” So, fans everywhere are guessing that the lyrics are about Riley Green.  Because of course they are.  But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Tim McGraw has pulled out of the upcoming Professional Bull Riders “Last Cowboy Standing” event in Fort Collins, Colorado. Tim’s been battling some serious back issues and just had what looks like his sixth surgery in under a year.  That’s three back surgeries, two new knees, and about a million hours of physical therapy. He is on the upswing, but some mornings it still takes him a minute to get going . . .  So unfortunately, he’s still not ready to take the stage.

Zach Bryan is overseas right now doing a series of shows in Dublin, Ireland.  While he was at a local bar, he left a very generous tip. He was at a bar and one of the people on staff mentioned that they were working late nights so they could pay for college.  And Zach gave him a $7,000 tip.  The staffer said, “And he also gave me two tickets for his weekend show to give to the [local] children’s hospital.  He’s a very generous fella.”
