Demand for tickets to Kenny Chesney‘s series of shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas was so high this year, the artist had no choice but to add more shows to his upcoming residency. Originally slated to be just five shows, Kenny announced yesterday that they were adding six more shows to his stay in Sin City. He also let it be known that, at least for this summer, it’s the Sphere or nothing for fans. “No Shoes Nation. This show has kept us inspired. Five nights turned into something bigger, and it only felt right to keep going. If we’re going to do it, let’s make it count, so we’re adding SIX additional dates. Sphere will be my only headline concerts this summer.” Pre-sale for the new dates starts tomorrow at 10am PT; general on-sale starts next Friday, January 30 at 10am PT. The new dates: July 1, 3, 4, 8, 10 and 11. Visit Kenny’s website for ticket purchasing and more info.

Morgan Wallen just came through in a big way for music students in his hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. Through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, along with Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, they donated three double basses, seven cellos, seven violas and nine violins, (worth $38,717), to West High School in Knoxville. According to the “Knox News,” the school is starting a new orchestra program, and the Morgan Wallen Foundation was responsible for funding for the instruments, and the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation will handle the purchasing and make sure the instruments get to the school. The instruments are expected to arrive in March.

We already know that Luke Combs‘ next album, “The Way I Am,” is coming out March 30. Even though there’s no chance of fan excitement dwindling, the singer is continuing to keep the level of interest in his new music high. Friday, he teased yet another previously unreleased song, which is presumed to be one of the 22 songs to be included on the new project. On Instagram, he posted a clip of a song called “Be By You.” With “Giving Her Away,” “15 Minutes,” “My Kinda Saturday Night,” and “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” already out there, this would make five of the album’s 22 tracks that fans can already sing along with when they see him on his upcoming tour.

Get your grain of salt ready. There are reports from unnamed sources that Keith Urban has moved on (and maybe even moved in) with a young country singer. “Page Six” reports that the “Daily Mail” is quoting “insiders” who claim that Keith and Nicole Kidman‘s daughters are seeming to publicly side with mom because Urban is (again, reportedly) serious about singer Karley Scott Collins. “People think they are even living together,” the “source” says. “Daily Mail” adds there is “no indication they had an affair;” after splitting last year, the Urban/Kidman divorce was finalized earlier this month. So who exactly is Karley Scott Collins? She started her career as a child actor; in 2008, Collins played the younger version of Paris Hilton in the film “Hottie and the Nottie.” She also played Gretel in ABC’s “Once Upon a Time.” She eventually transitioned into music, eventually opening for Urban, Willie Nelson, Carly Pearce and more.

But…

Once the report started gaining traction, Collins spoke out on her Instagram Stories. Reposting a screenshot of an article with the headline, “Keith Urban moved in with Karley Scott Collins? Fresh speculation amid divorce,” Collins wrote, “yall, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue.” While neither Urban or Collins’s reps responded to media requests for a comment, Collins said her piece on social media, and shot down the reports.

It’s been ten years since Brothers Osborne burst onto the scene with their debut album, “Pawn Shop.” To mark the occasion, the duo is releasing the expanded “Pawn Shop (10 Year Anniversary Edition).” The collection will include newly released recordings, demos and live versions from the “Pawn Shop” era. Ahead of the collection’s February 13th release, the brothers dropped the previously unreleased “Love The Lonely Out Of You (Live Pinebox Version).”
