He tweeted a story about Brad Paisley\u2019s free grocery store, and wrote about how Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley are doing good. \u201c(They) saw food insecurity in Nashville and decided to do something about it. They just broke ground on a free grocery store to help families in need,\u201d Obama shared. Then of course Paisley himself retweeted Obama\u2019s tweet, letting him know that if he ever needed any help with lawn care, he was ready for the job with his backhoe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Florida Georgia Line Headed Back to Las Vegas for Four Nights<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>It looks like Florida Georgia Line think Las Vegas is so nice that they\u2019re doing it twice. They just announced a reprise of their original Vegas residency, when they did five shows in December 2018, and they\u2019re going back to the same venue around the same time of year. The new residency will be four nights this time \u2014 Nov. 6, Nov. 8, Nov. 9, Nov. 12 \u2014 at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort &amp; Casino. \u201cLessss go,\u201d the duo told their fans and followers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Reba McEntire Is Sharing How She\u2019s \u201cStronger Than the Truth\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Now that Reba McEntire\u2019s latest album <em>Stronger Than the Truth<\/em> is out, you probably want more of the behind-the-scenes details of what she\u2019s been calling her most country album yet. And that\u2019s where <em>CMT Hot 20<\/em> comes in. Reba detailed everything about the album \u2014 including the writing credits on the title track, which go to Hannah Louise Blaylock and Autumn McEntire, Reba\u2019s niece \u2014 for the all new episode that airs this Saturday and Sunday (April 6-7).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Will Midland Be Playing Craps Until Monday Morning?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Remember what happened after last year\u2019s ACM Awards? Yeah, neither does Midland. They partied pretty hard after winning new vocal duo or group, and the band\u2019s Jess Carson admits that he ended up at a blackjack table with Morgan Wallen, and they played until the next morning. When they left, they thought they were the only country artists still in the casino. Until they spied Thomas Rhett. \u201cMorgan and I thought we were the last men standing because we were literally sitting at a craps table at like 5:00am,\u201d Carson told <a href=\"https:\/\/cmtcody.iheart.com\/content\/2019-04-03-midland-recalls-the-long-night-that-followed-last-years-acm-win\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CMT\u2019s Cody Alan<\/a>. \u201cAnd then the casino was like empty and we were walking towards the exit and we were like walking across the casino and we could hear this shouting and there was one craps table that had a crowd around it. We walked past this craps table, and of all people, literally rolling the dice was Thomas Rhett.\u201d Midland is nominated for vocal group and video of the year for \u201cBurn Out\u201d at this year\u2019s ACM Awards, so if they win, you know where to find them after all the after-parties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Blake Shelton\u2019s Latest Video is Lit<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Sorry, but it\u2019s too easy not to make fire jokes. In what Blake Shelton is calling a prequel \u2014 is that a thing now? \u2014 to his video for \u201cGod\u2019s Country,\u201d all you can see is a tractor on fire. And when you watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gNarAFhOw1I&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F6BTBtw4QVT\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the video<\/a> in its entirety, again it is a tractor on fire for three minutes. The song was written by Hardy, Devin Dawson and Jordan Schmidt, and is darker than what fans are used to hearing from Shelton. But in a good way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1804839\/five-at-five-barack-obamas-a-brad-paisley-fan-fgl-ready-for-vegas-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 19m ago Give us a minute, and we\u2019ll give you five things you might want to know in country music.
