Someone from the ACM Award\u2019s crowd management department thought Kelly Clarkson was just some random seat filler and he asked her to move. Because she is indeed the actual Kelly Clarkson, she was super chill about the whole kerfuffle and posted the perfect gif to go with her hashtag, #CantWinEmAll<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">All About the Man Behind Keith Urban\u2019s \u201cBurden\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>\u201cGood God, man,\u201d Urban wrote on Twitter after his \u201cBurden\u201d performance. \u201c\u2019Burden\u2019 spoke straight into my soul first listen..and I hope I did you justice, brother. Thank you too, @edsheeran, for guiding me into the album, and the wonderful world of Foy.\u201d This was certainly not Vance\u2019s first rodeo, though. The Irish singer-songwriter co-wrote \u201cPushin\u2019 Time\u201d with Miranda Lambert, and he asked Kacey Musgraves to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Oqe1gtM5gCk&amp;feature=youtu.be\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">join him<\/a> on his song \u201cMoonshine.\u201d Right after Urban posted his praise, Vance replied with, \u201cWell this is a lovely surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Old Dominion Headed Back Across the Pond<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping that Stockholm, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Belfast, Birmingham and more are ready to make it sweet. Old Dominion announced that after their very, very packed summer tour of all the fairs and fests in America, they\u2019d be brining their show to Europe again. \u201cWe had such a blast last year in Europe that we decided to come back for more. So excited to take the #makeitsweettour across the pond in October with @JordanCWDavis.\u201d They\u2019ll be doing their thing over there from October 4-16. Ticket info lives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weareolddominion.com\/tour\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Hailey Whitters and Brothers Osborne Make Us All Look Good<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>First, Brothers Osborne used a red-carpet interview to brag about their pal Hailey Whitters. \u201cThere are tons of girls just waiting for the moment, waiting in line, writing great songs, showing up every day in the writing room. Sometimes doing two or three or four writes a day. They\u2019ve been in Nashville for over ten years. There\u2019s a girl in Nashville right now called Hailey Whitters who is incredible,\u201d John Osborne said. \u201cAnd you check her music out, and you\u2019re like, \u2019Come on. We gotta get this girl propped up.\u2019 And then this dude (Lil Nas X) decides to put out a song with quasi country lyrics? Let\u2019s turn the focus away from that.\u201d Once she had time to process what had happened, Whitters was shook. \u201cThe fact that @brothersosborne use their platform to talk about my music makes my heart swell\u2026 they are the living, breathing example of support and building each other up in an industry designed to tear you down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Maren Morris Reflects on What\u2019s So Cool About Country<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>It\u2019s not the ACM Awards. Nor is it any other accolades that happen on a stage. The best thing about country music is everything else, per Morris. \u201cFeeling grateful to be a part of such a supportive country music community. When you strip away the awards, the numbers, the pyro budgets, you\u2019re left with the most laid back, down to earth, hilarious artists &amp; songwriters that genuinely root for each other,\u201d she posted on Twitter on the day after the Vegas show. So while the controversy over what country is and what it ain\u2019t still goes on all around us, Morris has just handed us the real answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
