Kacey Musgraves Sells Snow Cones In Nashville

Kacey Musgraves was doing a little moonlighting over the weekend, and it had nothing to do with music.

Last week Kacey shared a selfie with the caption, “Any snowcone stands hiring (right now)?,” and apparently the answer was yes because on Friday she was outselling snowcones on Nashville’s Blue Monkey Shaved Ice truck, after the truck “slid in the DMs” following her post.

Fans came out in droves to meet Kacey, with line stretching down the street. She handed out free snowcones, which she says “is a lifelong dream, just ’cause it’s so fun and it makes people happy.”

She also shared several pictures of all the fun she had, captioning one, “???? Good luck stealin’ this joy.”

The revelation came when Kelly complimented Trisha on her figure, with Trisha noting that eating has changed because of the condition. “It’s been about eight weeks,” she says, noting eating is “so much about taste and smell and if you can’t smell you don’t really [crave food]. I can tell if something’s spicy that’s about it… lots of hot sauce!”

Trisha, who hosts her own Food Network cooking show, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” adds, “Now when I cook, I just ask Garth, ‘tell me if it needs more salt and pepper. It’s the weirdest thing.”

Miranda Lambert Breaks Down In Tears At First Concert Since Lockdowns

Miranda Lambert returned to the stage this weekend with shows at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, Texas, and it certainly was an emotional experience. The shows were her first since COVID lockdowns shut down touring, and she broke down in front of fans as she sang “The House That Built Me.”

“First show back in over a year. I missed y’all so much,” she told the crowd, which helped her by singing some of the song for her.

“No matter what I’ve ever done in my career and what I’m still gonna do, somehow I still feel most at home on a barstool under a neon sign,” Miranda shared. “I walked in here and I took a little tour around, and I just felt so at home. I remembered why I do this and why I missed y’all’s faces so much.”

Miranda returns to Billy Bobs May 1st and 2nd.
