Riley Green was asked about his dating life, or lack thereof. “It’s really not that easy to meet a girl when you’re doing what we’re doing. I mean, I’m not going to meet a girl at a show, I’m confined to the back on a bus, And I’m not going to meet a girl on Instagram. And when you get to a place where people are, it gets tough to know who you’re meeting for what.” Riley also said he’s always surprised which songs fans fights to. “It’s always girls. There’s been a couple videos I’ve seen of people getting in a fight during ‘I Wish Grandpas Never Died’. Or I’ve got a song called ‘Jesus Saves’.” And he set the record straight that he did NOT have anything to do with Luke Bryan’s “Fish Hunt Golf Drink”.
Elle King found out she’s autistic after going on Fox’s new game show, “Nation’s Dumbest”. Right before going on the show she had a panic attack at the thought of being the nation’s dumbest. “I was like, ‘Everything makes so much sense now.’ But I didn’t even know. I did an IQ test, and it was rather high.” She also added, “Especially with my autism diagnosis, I am putting new kinds of safety barricades, and I just want to be around people that I feel safe around, and I just want to do things that bring me joy.”
Zach John King canceled the next two weeks of shows to mourn the sudden loss of his dad. “After that, Imma do what my dad would want me to do and get back to work.” He’s been on tour this summer with Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, Riley Green and Thomas Rhett, and has his own headlining tour this fall.
Garth Brooks wishes ticket scalping was illegal. Tickets for the first two shows of his arena tour go on sale tomorrow, and all tickets are expected to be the same price, even if they’re in the front row or nosebleeds. He says, “I’ve never understood why scalping is legal. I don’t think I am making it too simple by saying if we just make scalping illegal, a bunch of the problems of today’s ticketing procedures would be gone . . .”I’ve always wanted to go to the ‘powers that be’ and tell them I would be happy to do a tour without scalping if they want to see if we all miss it or not.”
