Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani got engaged back in October, and now Blake has given folks a clue as to when they plan to make things official. During an appearance on “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Blake spilled the beans that he and Gwen are hoping to tie the knot, “this summer.”

“With COVID-19, it looks like it may be OK, but I don’t know. So, that’s tentatively the plan. We’ll see,” he explained, adding, “I’m afraid if she and I wait until next November, then I’m right back into ‘The Voice’ cycle again. And I really want to be able to have plenty of time before and after.”

While both Miley Cyrus and Adam Levine said they were interested in performing at the wedding, Blake isn’t really sure that’s going to happen.

“You know, it’s starting to sound like a Coachella lineup here all of a sudden. I’ve got all these superstars saying they’re going to do it,” he said. “I hope so, I don’t know. I’m telling you, I’m not just saying this because it’s the line, it’s — we really don’t know.”

He adds hat he’d love to have “this amazing concert wedding,” but the pandemic may put a crimp in plans like that. He explains, “we’re just waiting every day, just like everybody else, to see what our summer is going to look like and then go from there.”

And the wedding wasn’t the only topic Blake talked about. He also discussed his upcoming album “Body Language,” Ariana Grande joining “The Voice” ad his new hard seltzer with Smithworks. Check it out to the right.

Eric Church’s upcoming project “Heart & Soul” is the result of a month-long session in North Carolina in which he, his co-writers and producer Jay Joyce wrote and recorded songs from start to finish in one day, and it certainly pushed everyone involved.

“I committed to I will get up in the morning and we’re going to write a song or create a piece of work that we are going to record that night, and then we’re going to do it again and again and again,” Eric shares. “And I think that there’s something about the commitment to the 24-hour period and then the forget-ability of the next period that made this work.”

He says the whole process was “creative,” adding, “we let the creative moment continue to the players, to the songwriters.”

Eric’s “Heart & Soul” project will be released in three parts. “Heart” will be the first to be released on April 16th, followed by “&,” for his fan cub only on April 20th, and “Soul” on April 23rd

It was another great weekend of music for Country fans with several artists dropping brand new songs for them to enjoy.

Miranda Lambert shared another new song from her upcoming album “The Marfa Tapes,” with Jack Ingram, and Jon Randall. The latest is the track “Am I Right Or Amarillo.” “’Am I Right or Amarillo’ was a Jack Ingram line,” Jon shares. “We just started riffing on the title and a cheating song showed itself. We all miss country cheating songs so we just went with it. It is really more of a bluegrass kind of thing.”

Eric Church has shared another track from his upcoming “Heart & Soul” project. The song is “Break It Kind Of Guy,” which he wrote with Luke Dick and Casey Beathard. The tune will be featured on the “Soul” album, which drops April 23rd. It follows “Hart,” which drops April 16th, and the fan-club only “&,” which comes out April 20th.

Maddie & Tae are back with a new song, “Woman You Got,” which is the first single off their upcoming third album. “This song is the most autobiographical song we have ever written,” Maddie shares. “Our hope is that this song is an anthem for all our fans, male and female!”

Rory Feek is giving fans a taste of his upcoming album “Gentle Man,” which drops June 18th. The singer just dropped the new tune “Met Him In A Motel Room,” which is a collaboration with Trisha Yearwood. Trisha previously included song, which Rory co-wrote, on her 2014 album “Prizefighter.”

And finally, Justin Moore just announced the new album “Straight Outta The Country” which will be released on April 23rd. Well, now he’s released the first single from the record, “She Ain’t Mine No More.”

Kenny Chesney is giving fans some more new music. The singer just announced he’ll release a deluxe version of his latest record, “Here and Now,” on May 7^th.  The new release will feature the original album, as well as four new racks, “Wind On,” “Fields of Glory,” “My Anthem” and “Streets.”

“Being home, writing with friends, recording with people who inspire you this time has taught me to really be in the moment, to share more music,” Kenny says. “Some of these songs will spark an immediate hunger for things we all love; some of them I think people will think about for days and days after they hear them.

He adds, “With so much still unsettled, I didn’t want to wait any more to share them.”
