You go to the farmer’s market, you expect to find fresh, locally grown produce, some good food…what you don’t expect to find is a country star. Earlier this week, surprised fans ran into Carrie Underwood at Nashville’s 12 South Farmers Market as she paid a visit to the HiNote pop-up truck where she met with market patrons, served up some samples of HiNote Everyday Energy Daily Nutrition Mix, and even posed for photos. HiNote is Carrie’s new brand, that hopes to help women prioritize their health “with practical tools that fit into everyday life.”

A young aspiring musician named Lainey Wilson once wrote a letter to Tim McGraw, talking about her passion for music and asking for advice. She never got a response, probably because the person Lainey asked to mail it never did. That letter now sits in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and now, years later, Lainey has finally gotten a response.

Lainey finally got to meet (and perform with) Tim at CMA Fest, and Tim revealed that, all these years later, he wrote a letter in response. Then McGraw really blew her mind, adding “And Tom Douglas and I wrote a song about the letter, so I’ll send that to you.” Lainey was understandably, visibly shocked by that, turning away with her jaw dropping. “You are lying!” she said, to which Tim replied, “If you like it, you like it, if you don’t you don’t.” We’re betting she likes it.

Billy Ray Cyrus is putting out his first album of new music in 14 years. “The Hill” sees Billy Ray working at length with son Braison Cyrus, who scored co-writer and co-producer credits for the upcoming collection. Two of the songs, “It’s Alright” and “You’re Not Here,” were released alongside the album announcement, and follow the release of the track “On Our Way Along” with daughter Noah Cyrus back in April. “The Hill” will be available everywhere June 16.

We told you Friday that Florida Georgia Line reunited at CMA Fest, but what remained a mystery is: for how long? Was this basically a special occasion or something more long-term? We have another clue that this may indeed be a permanent thing. The duo has signed with The Core Entertainment for management, a company Tyler Hubbard had signed with several months back to guide his solo career. There is no word on whether the pair is working on new music, but “Billboard” reports that more FGL live shows are coming in 2027.
