Within the span of a week, two massively talented and influential artists were honored with stars on walk of fames. On March 20, Luke Combs received his star on the Music City Walk of Fame in Nashville. The "Beer Never Broke My Heart" singer was supposed to receive his star last October, however, the ceremony was postponed while he and Eric Church focused all of their energy on Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Four days later, Trisha Yearwood received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Trisha's resume includes multiple music awards as well New York Times best-selling books and TV host. During the ceremony, Reba McEntire reflected on their long friendship, saying she loved Yearwood from the day they met and country music girls got to stick together and have fun.

March 25, 2025 Jason and Brittany Aldean celebrate milestone, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood celebrate their bar | Music City Minute
Congratulations to Jason and Brittany Aldean, who just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Brittany pulled out all the stops to make it as special as possible. In a video, we see her printing and laminating some tickets. She then wraps the tickets in a box with a Union Jack flag and presents it to her husband. In the reveal, we find out the tickets were for one of Jason's favorite bands, Oasis. Not only that, the tickets are for a show in the band's native London.

Speaking of anniversaries, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood celebrated the one-year opening of their bar Friends in Low Places by serving up drinks to surprised patrons. It looked like an absolutely wild time, one that ecstatic fans won't forget.

March 24, 2025 Luke Bryan's thoughts on a modern-day supergroup | Music City Minute
One of the most famous country supergroups in history was The Highwaymen, which was made up of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. The stratospheric star power of the group is nearly impossible to recreate. However, Luke Bryan has a few artists in mind for a modern-day supergroup. Bryan said his band would include himself, Jason Aldean and Dierks Bentley. Personally, I feel like we need to round out the group with a fourth member, and I'd like to suggest Blake Shelton. What are your thoughts?

March 20, 2025 Woman falls victim to Morgan Wallen catfishing scam | Music City Minute
Occasionally, artists will post a warning about online scammers using their name and likeness for nefarious purposes. Unfortunately, a woman in Texas learned too late she was caught in one of these scams. Desiree was featured on a YouTube video for the channel "Catfished." She believed she was in an online relationship with country star Morgan Wallen. After being love bombed with very convincing chats and videos, Desiree was tasked with buying gift cards. Needless to say, she was scammed out of $18,000 before reaching out to "Catfished" for help. Please remember, do not trust an artist profile that DMs you asking for personal info or anything of monetary value. The internet is a weird place, stay safe.

March 17, 2025 Morgan Wallen's support of his former high school | Music City Minute
Morgan Wallen is being praised for his generosity towards his former high school. The "Sand In My Boots" singer attended Gibbs High School in Knox County, Tennessee. Not only was he a student, he was also on the 2010 state championship baseball team. Even though he is a global super star now, he hasn't forgotten his roots. To date, he has donated more than $35,000 to enhance the school's band, core and baseball programs. In appreciation for the singer's contributions, the school has named their baseball field "Morgan Wallen Field." Interestingly, Wallen's buddy Ernest attended a rival school and recalls playing baseball against Morgan's team. The pair have also been known to sport their corresponding high school jerseys at their concerts.

Ashley McBryde is a phenomenal artist who has won many awards including CMAs, ACMs and a Grammy. However, she is currently celebrating her biggest achievement – 1,000 days sober! The "Brenda Put Your Bra On" singer shared a very important message on sobriety saying in part, "Wherever you are in your journey...it's worth it. Every day is a milestone."

Lauren Alaina is a glowing mama-to-be. Although, "The Road Less Traveled" singer was originally convinced she was pregnant with twins. She explained that the pregnancy test at the doctor's office revealed her HCG levels were off the charts. But after many scans, it was confirmed that she is indeed only carrying one baby girl, which is due May 29.
