Keith Urban reveals his favorite country song and Randall King takes a huge step | Music City Minute

Nov 6, 2024, 3:32 PM

Keith Urban is weighing in on what he considers the best country song ever written, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. In Urban’s opinion, that song is a great example of when great writing and a great performer come together and create magic. Even though it’s the Aussie’s favorite song, he won’t be covering anytime soon. Urban feels like no one can match Jones’ energy, feeling and passion.
Congratulations to Randall King, who just got engaged to longtime girlfriend Brittany Warthan. The couple shared the news in a joint social media post with a carousel of photos on a beach. “There’s a lot of miles in front of us and I want only you by my side to take this life head-on and make it ours,” said King. The “Hey Cowgirl” singer also chose an unforgettable date to get down on one knee, because it was also Brittany’s birthday.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
