Lorrie Morgan Wants to Give Blake Shelton a Spanking

 

Country artists love saying the highlight of their career is joining the Grand Ole Opry.  But according to LORRIE MORGAN, most of them aren’t living up to their end of the bargain, which is a promise to perform there 24 times a year.

BLAKE SHELTON is one of the slackers and she tells Taste of Country that she’d like to put him over her knee.  Quote, “He’s gonna get a spanking.  When I see him, it’s over for him.  ‘Blake, you better look out, buddy.'”

She said the Opry does put out reminders, for what it’s worth.  Quote, “They send a letter that says, ‘We are kind of demanding that you must be here so many times a year to continue your membership.'”

TYLER FARR posted a video on Facebook of him in the hospital right after his vocal cord surgery.  He’s giving thumbs up and looking a little loopy from his “feel good medicine.”  It’s captioned, “Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.”
