Chris Stapleton recently sat down with Dax Shepard and he had some serious praise for Taylor Swift. Chris talked about collaborating with her during Covid . . . and how impressed he was after he took his kids to the Eras Tour. Chris said, “It was awesome. It was crazy. Every song was the production budget of most people’s whole show. Mine included.” And then he said, “It’s an insane amount of work and energy . . . Only a handful of people can pull that off, and she’s one of them.” After the show, Chris and his kids even got to talk with Taylor. She told them she trained for the tour by singing while running on a treadmill for three hours. Chris laughed and said, “I don’t run three miles on a treadmill, ever.”
Megan Moroney just dropped the music video for “Wish I Didn’t”.

This past weekend marked the 11th year of Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa in Cancun. So Dierks Bentley decided to have a little fun. The two were sitting down for an interview, and Dierks was asked to name the headliners. He said, “Well, if you look at the ad . . . you would think there’s just one.” Luke groaned in the background and Dierks said, “It’s just Luke Bryan’s name in really big letters.” Luke replied, “It’s an eye test.” Dierks said you have to “adjust the peepers a little bit” to spot his name and Riley Green. And you’d need “20-10 vision” to find Dustin Lynch.
Rumors are flying that a 26-year-old country singer named Karley Scott Collins and Keith Urban are living together . . . but Karley reposted a headline about the speculation and wrote, “Y’all, this is absolutely ridiculous and untrue.” This comes just weeks after Keith and Nicole finalized their divorce after 19 years of marriage.
