Catch them on TV:
• “Jimmy Fallon” – Reba McEntire
• “Conan” – Jason Isbell.
“People” magazine played ‘Two Truths and a Lie’ with ASHLEY MONROE. That’s where two of the statements are true, one isn’t, and you have to guess the lie. Here goes . . .
1. “Elvis’ signature is tattooed on my hip.”
2. “I play classical piano.”
3. “I’m a vegan.”
And the lie is . . . that she’s vegan. She says for some reason people just assume she is.
She got the Elvis tattoo when she was 18, and it was her second tattoo. Quote, “I still don’t regret it. I’ll always love Elvis. And he’s not here to let me down either, so it’s done.”
The piano thing is a little more interesting. She was obsessed with it, and started entering high school competitions when she was only 10. But it came to an end when her DAD passed away . . . because there was nobody to take her to piano lessons.
And THAT’S when she switched to country music. She also says the recitals taught her about the pressure of performing.
Kelsea Ballerini Was Inspired By Pizza and Rihanna?
KELSEA BALLERINI says her inspiration comes from a couple unexpected places . . . pizza and RIHANNA.
She’s celebrating her first number one single, “Love Me Like You Mean It”, and says it DIDN’T come from a writing session with her three co-writers. They were actually just hanging out, eating pizza, and listening to “Take a Bow” by Rihanna.
Quote, “All of a sudden we were so inspired by the swag and the sass she had as an artist on that song. I wasn’t even signed as an artist yet, but we were all determined to create a ‘sound’ for me together as a group, and that night marked the beginning of it.”
Jake Owen Says Kenny Chesney Built His Career the Right Way . . . Slow and Steady
JAKE OWEN took a break from venting about divorce, and talked about how great it is to open for KENNY CHESNEY. Especially since, according to Jake, he’s, quote, “built his career the way it’s supposed to be built: Slow and steady, and then maintaining it.”
It gets even better. Kenny gives him advice, and offers to help with writing songs . . . but only if Jake WANTS him to. Quote, “I’m just so lucky to be able to have that outlet, in person, to talk to as a friend.” Obviously that’s huge right now for Jake.
Of course, it also helps that he gets to expose thousands of Kenny Chesney fans to HIS music every night, and hopefully convert them.
JENNIFER NETTLES landed another acting gig. She’s going to play DOLLY PARTON’S mom in a TV movie on NBC called “Coat of Many Colors”. And RICKY SCHRODER will play Dolly’s dad. So, we have that to look forward to. (Full Story)
What does LUKE BRYAN want fans to say when they hear “Kill the Lights”? Quote, “Ooh yeah . . . THIS is what we wanted . . . this what we expect . . . this is kind of what I’m about.”
JASON ALDEAN says there was a two year gap after his first number one single. So to have THREE in one year . . . from one album . . . is really cool. And it’s still exciting EVERY time a song goes number one . . . because at some point your run is going to end.
