Dolly Parton was recently asked what her wish would be for the holiday season . . . and her answer was kind and beautiful, as one would expect from Dolly.

She just wished people would have “peace and goodwill” towards one another.  Quote, “That is my wish that people try to put aside all their differences . . . and just try to find that peace that comes from Christmas, and that peace within themselves and just try to love one another.”

Amen, sister.  The world could always use a little more love.

Elsewhere in the interview, Dolly also talks about her Christmas books . . . and how she dresses up like Santa Claus . . . and still has a “cookie night” with all her nieces and nephews.

Basically, she loves the holiday season and goes all out.  She even called herself, quote, “A Holly Dolly Christmas girl”.

Back in the spring, Morgan Wallen was readying his bar in Nashville for its grand opening and filed a request for signage for the business to hang over Broadway…a request that was denied by the Metro Nashville City Council. At the time, Morgan’s law-breaking ways (and past use of the n-word) were cited by council members as reasons to turn down the signage request. Six months later, and a week after the singer was sentenced for his April chair-throwing incident, “Morgan Wallen’s This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen” is getting the sign they wanted. Tuesday the Council voted to approve the signage they initially voted down. No comment yet on why the Council changed its mind.

Don’t put Brooks & Dunn in the “nostalgia act” category just yet. Even though most of their musical output the last few years has been revisiting their biggest hits with the “Reboot” albums, Kix Brooks hints they may have some more new music up their sleeves. In an interview with “Billboard” magazine, when the subject of possible new music came up, Brooks said, “It’s not that I felt like I ever lost focus on Brooks & Dunn, but it is a good point in my life, especially if we are going to make new music. That’s a little deeper commitment in terms of creative focus and really getting your head in the game and seeing if we can come up with something good.” So, no concrete statement that they’ll come with new music, but it seems that it’s certainly on the table.

Shania Twain fans will be happy to know the country icon has extended her “Queen Of Me” tour into the summer of 2025.

Tickets for this leg of her tour go on sale this Friday at 10 am local.

Lainey Wilson‘s career has come so far so quickly, she’s constantly experiencing landmark moments. One such instance happened Saturday night. Lainey’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” tour stopped at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and it led to a surreal “full-circle” moment for the singer. Her show was opened by Mae Estes and Tracy Lawrence, and it wasn’t that long ago that she was opening for the country legend. “(It’s) really cool to think that Tracy Lawrence is going to be on my show bill,” she told “People” magazine. “He took me out on the road with him about three years ago and I remember he stood side stage and watched every single one of my performances.”
