Fans are buzzing after Brian Kelley shared a new Instagram video where he’s hiking with Tyler Hubbard. The caption said, “Solid hike bro.” But the video ended with the Jon Hamm meme where he’s dancing in a club. So of course that got everyone talking. Last month, Tyler said on a podcast that he and Brian were trying to rebuild their friendship and even mentioned planning a hike together. Now we know it actually happened. The duo split in 2022, but they have recently been spotted together again at the CMA Awards. Nothing official has been announced, but the comments are begging for them to reunite. Ashley Cooke said, “2026 is already getting better” . . . and the official account for the ACM Awards said, “This would heal the world.”
Ella Langley is kicking off 2026 with a moment that nobody saw coming. She posted an acoustic cover of the 1987 classic “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley. And after listening to it, I realized I’ve never heard that song without being “Rick rolled” before. So good for Ella, for taking it seriously. Ella shared the clip on TikTok and said, “Been stuck in my head all day.” And now her version of the song is stuck in ours.
Garth Brooks might be releasing new music in 2026. But instead of a big social media post, Garth dropped a quiet clue on his website. “I’m an artist, I HAVE to make music. And I’m an entertainer, so I HAVE to take the music to the people.” He also gave a shoutout to his wife, Trisha Yearwood, who is touring through the first half of the year. Garth followed it up with, quote, “Then we will see what may be waiting for us in the second half.” Fans are now wondering if this means a new solo album or maybe even another project of duets with Trisha. This June he will play Summerfest in Milwaukee . . . And then headline BST Hyde Park in London.
