Grammy-award winning country artist joins the cast of ‘The Road,’ Kelsea Ballerini’s Tennessee double date | Music City Minute

Apr 30, 2025, 4:25 PM

Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan have added another key individual to their new reality competition, “The Road.” A while back, Keith Urban was confirmed to be the headliner of the show, and now Grammy award-winning artist Gretchen Wilson will serve as tour manager. Gretchen said the new gig is going to allow her to take everything that she’s learned over the years of touring and pour it right back into these emerging musicians. She’s excited to help sharpen their talent and teach them how to capture the attention of the audience. “The Road” is set to premiere this fall on CBS.
If you were to go on a double date with your Besty, what location would you choose for a day of fun? Well, if you are Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes, you’re going to take Noah Kahan and fiancé Brenna Nolan two-stepping through the world famous Dollywood! Pictures from both couples reveal an adventure filled day in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. As far as brunch vittles are concerned, Kahan would highly recommend a ketchup and mustard smeared corn dog.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
