Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood announced earlier this month they were quarantining after being exposed to the coronavirus. Well, Garth has now revealed that Trisha tested positive and is recovering from the virus, while he tested negative.

According to a post on Facebook, Trisha is now “diagnosed as ‘on her way out of the tunnel,’” with Garth sharing, “Anyone who knows me knows my world begins and ends with Miss Yearwood, so she and I will ride through this together,” adding, “And anyone who knows her knows she’s a fighter and she’s been doing everything right, so I know we’ll walk out the other side of this thing together.”

The post notes that Trisha is doing okay, with Garth offering, “she’s tough She’s stronger than me.” He then asks fans to send their prayers and good thoughts her way.

“Living with her, I sometimes take it for granted she’s one of the greatest voices in all of music, so the possible long-term effects on her concern me as her husband and as a fan,” he continues. “We’re very lucky she is currently under the greatest care in the best city for treating and healing singers.”

The guys in Florida Georgia Line have expanded their empire to include more than just music and songwriting. They have their Nashville bar, their record label, liquor brand and more. But one thing they haven’t tried yet is acting, unless you count their music videos, and they aren’t ruling it out in the future.

“I think there’s a good chance of that,” Brian Kelley says of the possibility he’ll act one day. “I think of just kind of takin’ the opportunities as they come,” although he notes, “it’d have to mean something if I’m gonna go put out energy to go do that.”

As for Tyler Hubbard, he says he’s “open” to the idea, although admits, “I’ve never considered myself a great actor,” and taking on a role would depend on the opportunity. He says he’d possibly do it if it “sounds fun at the time or feels like the right move to make.”

ONE MORE THING! Florida Georgia Line’s charity livestream “Life Rolls On From The FGL House” was postponed last week due to the bad weather in Nashville, but it’s now been rescheduled. The Amazon Music event will now take place tomorrow, kicking off at 8 pm ET.

Kenny Chesney has picked his next single. The singer just revealed that “Knowing You,” will be his third official single from 2020’s “Here and Now.”

“’Knowing You’ sounds like coming home in a lot of ways. This is the essence of all the music that country is,” he shares. “When you hear it, something inside tingles, because it’s more than production tricks, the guitars, or how hard the drums hit. It’s just so pure.”

He adds, “Country at its very best is true, it’s from the heart. This song is just that… it’s all heart.”

Luke Bryan was honored this weekend as the Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) 2021 Artist Humanitarian Award recipient, recognized for his work with philanthropic work with organizations like ACM Lifting Lives, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and more.

“So honored to receive the Country Radio Broadcasters 2021 Artist Humanitarian Award at @crsofficial,” Luke shares. “Thank you so much. I’m lucky to be a part of so many great organizations and causes where I can offer a helping hand.”

“Luke is a big star with a bigger heart,” CRS/CRB Board President Kurt Johnson shares. “We’re so proud to honor him with this much-deserved award.”

Tennessee Rep. John Mark Windle recently introduced legislation that would create a fund to pay for the design, construction, establishment and maintenance of a Dolly Parton statue at the Tennessee Capitol. Well, it turns out Dolly doesn’t want on…at least not now.

“I want to thank the Tennessee legislature for their consideration of a bill to erect a statue of me on the Capitol grounds,” she shared on social media. “I am honored and humbled by their intention but I have asked the leaders of the state legislature to remove the bill from any and all consideration.” Dolly explains, “Given all that is going on in the world, I don’t think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time.”

She hasn’t ruled it down the road though, noting, “I hope, though, that somewhere down the road several years from now or perhaps after I’m gone if you still feel I deserve it, then I’m certain I will stand proud in our great State Capitol as a grateful Tennessean.”

Finally, Dolly says, “In the meantime, I’ll continue to try to do good work to make this great state proud.”
