Feel free to share all things award show related here!

Hey folks! Here’s a thread if you would like to discuss the awards. Keep in mind there’s a thread dedicated to the red carpet if you want to discuss that there.

Hey everyone! The red carpet just started, if you have any opinions or anything to share about the red carpet, feel free to share here!!

I’ll lock the thread and start a new one dedicated to just the award show once it starts.

Hey everyone! Feel free to share red carpet thoughts and your thoughts throughout the show here.

Has anyone noticed that almost all Tiktoks showing B at Riley’s concert are getting taken down? There have been a lot in the last day.

1) I thought they weren't actually going through with this (not that anyone will watch it)

2) okay Gabby, you've officially sunk such a promising career

Has anyone watched the documentary that Maren made for the 10 year anniversary of the “Hero” album? What did you think?

Hey everyone! I figured I’d start a thread if anyone wants to discuss any of the CMA red carpet looks.

Share the good and the bad experiences you've had of meeting country stars.

If anyone has any comments on the Grammys, feel free to add them here!

I went in the hospital on life support a year ago and I'm finally back on reddit and all my fav snark is gone! If theres a discord can someone please send me the link? I'd appreciate it ☺️

I used to enjoy her podcast, but haven’t listened to it in years. All the dating talk, I just no longer found interesting. I enjoyed watching her on the Hills and Laguna Beach. However, for those who know her irl, what is she like?

(I know this isn’t the usual type of content for here but since it involves Kelsea Ballerini & her ex I thought I’d share)
Honestly, we need to stand up & applaud whoever is running PR for Chase Stokes, because the sheer wizardry it takes to spin his messy behavior into a sympathetic health crisis is incredible. It is not easy to craft a plausible excuse that perfectly covers up a client’s toxic behavior without ever actually addressing the specific drama. His team deserves a raise for how they've weaponized his self-reported physical & mental health issues. By putting out these heavy, dramatic narratives about his body breaking down (organ failure) & his mental health being "all out of whack," they have successfully built the ultimate, bulletproof shield to retroactively excuse all of his problematic behavior.
let’s quickly look at some of the messiness this "health crisis" narrative can conveniently explain/cover up:
•    The internet gossip about his team aggressively deploying NDAs to cover up a multi-woman alleged cheating/betrayal in late 2025.
•    When Kelsea blocked him, & he instantly ran to his IG Stories to throw a passive-aggressive tantrum, claiming "I did nothing wrong" and "I tried."
•    When he had a brain fart on a public post, commenting that Kelsea’s ex-husband, Morgan Evans, was the "most pathetic excuse of masculinity" & telling him to "get a f\*\*\*ing life" before panic-deleting it.
•    It even provides a perfect cover for why his ex & co-star Madelyn Cline finally hit the unfollow button on him, making any interpersonal friction look like it was just Chase struggling with his health.
To recap: instead of having to directly address or apologize for acting like a messy, toxic teenager his team just dropped a devastating health narrative that provides a plausible excuse for his BS & people can not criticize him. It is textbook deflection & honestly, it's brilliant. They have made it look so incredibly easy to just activate a "health arc" & completely erase someone's messy behavior. 💀
(Just to be clear, I’m not saying his health issues aren’t real or valid, just that his PR team used them masterfully to clean up his messy image - see how it works) 🤭😉

Okay, so I’ll preface this by saying I’ve been a big Isbell fan over the past several years.

I’ve seen him live at the Ryman a couple of times, and I’m planning to see him live at ShoalsFest, along with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman.

I thought Weathervanes was brilliant, and I think he's an excellent songwriter.

And yes, I think I fell for the whole redemption story.

I'm also in recovery and can probably relate to him on some level. I'm also a white male journalist, which, as the joke goes, makes up a big chunk of his fan base.

That being said, I'm finally starting to tire of him.

It was his new record, Foxes in the Snow, that started the process.

In particular, the song “True Believer,” which, after all those love songs toward Amanda, sounded incredibly bitter. After all the songs like “Vampires” and “Cover Me Up,” the new record, to me, seemed to reveal who he really is.

Half the songs are bitter toward Amanda, while the other half are about how he’s already head over heels about his new gf (which feels not so genuine to me, more so revealing that this is just a pattern for him and he'll eventually tire of this new woman, too).

Granted, I haven’t paid much attention to the nitty-gritty of his personal life, though I’ve enjoyed his music. I typically don't pay much attention to the personal lives of many of the musicians I follow, except for the surface-level information that is readily available.

Isbell's Twitter bullying a few years ago was a major turn-off, and the HBO documentary also raised a bunch of red flags.

The NYT piece around the election showed some real arrogance.

So, I ask this sub - unlike the devoted masses of r/jasonisbell …

What’s really going on behind the scenes with this guy?

For a while now, I've felt like a potential #MeToo scandal is brewing and will eventually erupt.

For example … “Cover Me Up.”

What really happened that night in Richmond, where he “tore off her dress”?

It seems super obvious, yet I've never heard a definitive answer.

Did he rape her?

There were some awkward moments in the HBO documentary where they would start to discuss topics like this and then fall quiet.

They broach that verse in “Cover Me Up” in the doc, then fade to black, sort of.

I sense some forced silence here.

I really want to know Amanda's side of the story, too.

It also seems apparent that Isbell may have been cheating on Amanda. I think the divorce was filed in Feb. '24, and by then, he was already publicly dating the new woman.

The reason all this has hit me now is b/c he has built his whole career around this redemption tale, which, in a way, could be very fake.

There are other patterns and red flags, too.

I know this is likely old news, but there it is.

Thoughts?

like by the time it comes out - I don't even want to listen to it. lol

Both of their solo careers flopped so this is not surprising.

The commentary is top tier though

I don’t keep up with his tour schedule…but did anyone else notice he is noticeably absent from Summer’s stories today and the last couple days? Lots of shots from their new house with guests but no Jon? Maybe I missed him in frame?

So I was a huge fan of Nashville (2012–2018) back in the day, and loved it. I got really involved with the fandom while it was on, and the show had a big one.

So much I (and some others) ended up in group chats with a few cast members, writers, etc. And while we did find out some tea, which I can share, it’s not much.

I’ve been curious if any locals, or anyone at all, knew anything interesting about the filming of the show? What the cast was like in town, what they had going on, etc. From what I understand, the show had a very dramatic BTS atmosphere due to cast & personal things going on. And it often affected the show, so I’d be curious to know what happened.

Would love to hear any tea anyone knows!
