Luke Bryan will perform on American Idol & Nominees for the CMT Music Awards are out
As for his recent ladder accident, Matthew from Old Dominion says he changed one light bulb, no problem, then slid the ladder over to change another. As he put his foot on the very top step, the ladder went sideways, closed up and fell over. Matthew went backwards and landed on the stairs. He could hardly breathe so he dialed 911 and they took him away by ambulance. The kicker was Matthew forgot he had this tall lightbulb changing thing in the closet and he didn’t even need a ladder.

Chris Janson’s grateful to be alive & Luke Bryan announces tour dates
While on a tropical vacation last week, Maren Morris saw an article in a British tabloid, The Sun claiming Luke Bryan was the father of her 1-year-old Hayes. Maren’s husband is Ryan Hurd and since then The Sun fixed their story. Maren thought the mistake was funny.
Several days ago Chris Janson’s family was asleep when his wife barely heard a smoke alarm beep. A fire had started in his basement studio and by the time Chris got there, the flames were 7 feet high. While no official cause has been determined, Chris thinks his old laptop overheated because the battery was burned up. The bottom floor of his home has to be gutted and Chris says he’s grateful to be alive. He wants to remind us to change the batteries in our smoke alarms.
Brett Young's next project, ‘Weekends Look A Little Different These Days’ is out June 4.

Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan Vegas residency & Luke Combs is on the Opry saturday
Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan have partnered with the new Resorts World Las Vegas hotel that opens June 24. The resort talks about A-list entertainers and it has to be a mini residency. Luke wrote, “looks like a good time. I’ll be there sometime in May.”
On ACM night, Tenille Arts boyfriend asked her to wax his nose hairs so he’d be red carpet ready. Even tho she thought it was disgusting and gross, she said yes because he basically forced her to do it.
Saturday night Luke Combs will perform two sets on the Opry during the 8 CT hour. It’ll be on Luke’s Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.
Finally - today tickets go on sale today for Eric Church and Brad Paisley performing at ‘A Tribute To ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons’ at the Opry May 16. Also today Eric Church’s ‘Soul’ is out so is Justin Moore’s ‘Straight Outta the Country’ and you can also preorder Blake Shelton’s ‘Body Language.’

Carrie Underwood's making us wait & Maren Morris comes back to her Texas roots
A few days ago Carrie Underwood said something exciting was coming yesterday. When nothing happened Carrie posted we’d have to wait “a little longer.”
Before last weekend ACMs, Blake Shelton popped in to his Nashville and Orlando Ole Red bars for a surprise performance. Blake also said he’d continue paying his employees as he’s done the entire pandemic. Back in 2017, he was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive and Blake says he keeps that issue in the bathroom and looks at it often.
Maren Morris says her next record’s halfway done. She calls it an uplifting record that’s come back to the Texas rootsy style she grew up in. Maren also says it has Americana elements and is fun and energetic.
Finally - Eric Church and his wife were watching Elton John’s biopic, ‘Rocketman’ when a scene gave him the idea for his song ‘Rock & Roll Found Me.’ It’s on the third of his album trio, ‘Soul.’ Elton was dressed in a costume at a meeting and talked about how rock and roll found him. Eric immediately went to the kitchen and wrote the song.

Keith Urban has a new tattoo & Tim McGraw loves hog fish
Last weekend Tim McGraw got some hog fish while diving. They’re hard to catch as they live in deep water so Tim normally spears them free diving at 44 feet. Most every fish photo he posts is a hog fish and now I know why. It’s is as rich as scallops and it just melts in your mouth.
At Sunday’s ACMs, Keith Urban showed off a new tattoo on his right hand. The same hand he has a bracelet tattoo with the initials 'NMK' for Nicole Mary Kidman. I also hear Keith just got a boating license. He had one 10 years ago but let it lapse and said Covid gave him idle time to get a new one. A few years ago, Keith and the family were in Australia on a huge yacht they rented for $3,500 an hour. But there was a 4-hour minimum so it cost them $14,000 for the afternoon.
Finally - Eric Church, Brad Paisley, Travis Tritt and more will perform at ‘A Tribute To ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons.’ It’ll be live at the Opry May 16 and all proceeds go to charity. Tickets go on sale Friday.

On the ACM Awards last night...& Keith Urban’s wife scores a big role
On the ACM Awards last night Entertainer of the Year was Luke Bryan.
Female artist Maren Morris also won Song of the Year for ‘The Bones.’
The Male artist was Thomas Rhett. Thomas Rhett confessed Dierks Bentley was cracking him up as he took the stage to accept his Male Artist trophy, though he declined to say exactly what Dierks had said.
Duo was Dan + Shay and when they performed there was an audio/video sync issue.
Group winner went to Old Dominion.
Album of the Year was Chris Stapleton’s ‘Starting Over.’ Miranda Lambert had to fill in at the last minute for Chris’s wife who was supposed to sing with him but had a prior doula commitment.
Single went to the very surprised Carly Pearce & Lee Brice for ‘I Hope You're Happy Now.’
Blake Shelton said he’d lose weight for his wedding and last night I could tell he really has. I also hear due to how much trouble Blake’s gotten in with his tweets, his team now handles most of his Twitter activity. Blake says Reba's even been hard on him about it.
Finally - Keith Urban’s wife Nicole Kidman will star as Lucille Ball in the biopic, ‘Being The Ricardo’s.’ It follows Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz during production on their 50s TV show, I Love Lucy.

Brad Paisley saves his sons fish & Gabby Barrett wins an early ACM
Looking back on his career, Blake Shelton said he would have told his younger self two things; get more rest and the “mullet's not as cool as you think it is.” These days Blake calls himself a “slow slug," who’s lucky to have a job where he gets to sit in a red chair for a living.
When Brad Paisley noticed his son Jasper's pufferfish struggling, he had to help. A puffer’s beak can grow so long they can't eat, so Brad watched YouTube videos to find out how to fix that. He put clove oil in the tank to make the fish go to sleep, then Brad trimmed its beak with fingernail clippers and the fish survived. Brad and his wife are in People magazine out today.
Luke Bryan’s deluxe version of ‘Born Here, Live Here, Die Here’ is out today with six new songs.

Luke Bryan’s on Jimmy Kimmel tonight & Dolly Parton: A MusiCares Tribute premieres tonight on Netflix
Luke Bryan’s on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Yesterday his wife bought kombucha at the store. It’s a fermented tea. When she got to the car, she opened it and it exploded all over her face. It went up her nose and got on her shorts. Caroline said a cop saw the whole thing and was cracking up.

Michael Ray loves his Instant Pot & why Garth bows to Trisha
Performers for the ACM Awards April 18 have been finalized. They include Kane Brown, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and Maren Morris.
Michael Ray says his favorite kitchen appliance is the Instant Pot his bus driver gave him. He calls it the new Crock Pot after it went away for a while and did some work on itself.
Carrie Underwood says when she doesn’t work out, her attitude is noticeable to her husband who will tell her to go take a run. If she could dump one thing from her routine, it’s burpees. That’s a jump, squat, plank and pushup all done at the same time and Carrie hates them!
Finally - when Garth sings with his wife, he always bows to her afterward. He says it’s because Trisha joked years ago that he had to. Garth says he still does it out of respect for her talent.

Keith Urban's kids make a rare public appearance & The Voice premieres tonight
On last night’s Golden Globes, Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman and their daughters Sunday and Faith appeared virtually. It’s the first time we’ve had a clear look at the girl’s faces. I also found out more about their time at the Sydney opera a few weeks ago. They broke protocol to stand at the end of the performance because they thought it was so great. That’s when the guy behind Nicole swatted her with his program. Keith said he wanted to whack the guy but instead showed great restraint.
The ACM nominees have Maren Morris and Chris Stapleton each getting six nods. Miranda Lambert has five and Ashley McBryde and Thomas Rhett have four. ACM snubs include Carrie Underwood, no Luke Combs in Single, Song or Album of the Year and Keith Urban was not in either Entertainer or Male Artist of the Year.
Finally – The Voice premieres tonight on NBC and Blake Shelton’s back as a judge. He only got the job years ago because Reba turned it down. She said no because she didn’t think she’d be able to tell somebody they’re terrible. In a few weeks Dan + Shay will be on as Blake’s Battle Advisors.

how Keith Urban gets rid of concert jitters & how Luke Combs wife knew he was the one
One way Keith Urban gets rid of concert jitters is a 1985 workout cassette from Hulk Hogan. They crank it backstage and he and the band do a pre-show workout with Hulk.
