Okay, y’all, if you’ve ever sat in a wooden pew wondering why the Sunday sermon felt more like a Southern horror movie than a hug from the Lord, Ashley McBryde’s new music video is about to feel real familiar.

The King of Country has just earned one of the most prestigious honors in the arts—and it’s about time.  Earlier this week, it was announced that George Strait will be recognized as one of the 2025 Kennedy Center Honorees, joining an elite list of past recipients that includes Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Reba McEntire. The honor places Strait alongside fellow inductees Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, KISS, and Michael Crawford in a celebration of lifetime artistic achievement. Y’all already know we’re big fans of Sweetwater over here. Their customer service is the kind of southern hospitality that most big retailers can only dream of — knowledgeable, genuine, and downright personal. But this year, Sweetwater is doing a whole lot more than just helping musicians get the right gear. They’re helping kids get access to any gear at all.  The country music community lost one of its most quietly influential figures this week with the passing of Brandon Blackstock at the age of 48, following a private three-year battle with cancer.  Though most headlines will remember him as Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband or Reba McEntire’s former stepson, those closest to the music industry know Brandon as something much more—an artist manager who shaped the careers of some of country’s most visible stars. As a key figure at Starstruck Entertainment, Blackstock helped steer the success of acts like Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, Carly Pearce, and others, offering the kind of behind-the-scenes guidance that rarely makes front-page news but often makes careers. |
