Miss Kelsea Ballerini has come a long way from her first single, “Love Me Like You Mean It”Now that she’s 30, she’s looking to expand her professional horizons, possibly even dabbling in acting. However, that doesn’t mean she’s going to be showing up as a guest start on her boyfriend’s show, “Outer Banks”anytime soon. She said she doesn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. It will be exciting to see what Miss Kelsea decides to do next. Until then, we can catch her hosting and performing at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, April 7.
Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen wrote an incredible song called “Mamaw’s House”The funny thing about this song is that it wasn’t supposed to be a single. Well, the song has shot to the top of the charts, marking Rhett’s 22nd No. 1 on country radio and Wallen’s 12th. The song has a fun backstory too. Rhett and Wallen were a part of a writing session on Zoom, back in 2020. About half way through, Wallen’s grandma called, and that’s where the idea was born. To celebrate the song’s success, Rhett posted a video with his grandma jumping into a pool together. It’s adorable.
