It’s official, Randy Travis has put out new music and fans are divided. This is a huge milestone for the country music icon, whose speech became very limited after his 2013 stroke. Because of that, the new song, “Where That Came From,” was created using Randy’s voice and artificial intelligence. It’s the use of that technology that is a sticking point for some fans. Obviously, AI is a genuine concern for the music industry. However, in this case, the new song was made with Travis and his team’s full support.

Carrie Underwood had some great news to share about a couple of her fur babies. Her two donkeys, Jack and Diane, had a baby that the family named “Chili Dog.” This is the second foal born to the donkey couple. Jack and Diane are also parents to “Little Ditty.” Chili Dog is a much-loved addition to Carrie’s 400-acre farm, where she also raises chicken and grows her own fruits and vegetables.
