Tucker Wetmore’s concert at Round Rock Amphitheater in Round Rock, Texas, on Saturday, October 25, was supposed to be a fun night of music, but Mother Nature had other plans. What started as a weather delay quickly turned into a full-blown storm, forcing the show to be postponed.
The venue initially posted on social media:
“The Tucker Wetmore show is currently in a weather delay. Please feel free to go to your cars during this rain. We are watching the weather closely with Tucker’s team and will update everyone here when the delay is over.”
As the rain continued to fall, it became clear the concert couldn’t happen. Later, the venue announced:
“The Tucker Wetmore show tonight has been postponed due to weather. We will be emailing all ticket buyers with more information next week.”
Fans who had braved the weather and parked early were greeted by a soggy, muddy lot. That’s when Wetmore and his crew sprang into action. Instead of retreating to his bus, Wetmore waded into the mud to help fans push their cars and trucks out of the ruts.
Amid the downpour, he even paused to take photos with fans, turning a what was a disappointing night into a memorable one.
“Show got cancelled, so this is what we did instead,” Wetmore wrote in a video shared on Instagram.
The response from fans and fellow artists was overwhelming. His ummer tourmate and duet partner, Thomas Rhett commented, “Look at you, gentleman.”
Fans also chimed in with praise:
“The most incredible people!! Tucker and every member of his amazing entourage are incredible super humans!,” one user wrote, while another added, “Tell us you’re a good ol’ country boy without telling us you’re a good ol’ country boy.”
Another fan shared, “And this is why I will always support him! He has such an amazing heart.”

One fan captured a video of Wetmore in action and wrote, “When Tucker Wetmore shows up for his fans after a rained out concert. Forever a fan.”
The singer recently wrapped up his tour with Thomas Rhett and has a few headline shows and events to close out 2025.
In 2026, he’ll hit the road for his 22-stop headlining The Brunette World Tour, joined by special guests Dasha, Carter Faith, and Jacob Hackworth for select dates. This trek will even take him overseas to Ireland, the UK, and more.
“I’ve been lucky to play these songs for fans all over the country in the past year and a half, but getting to headline my own tour — and take it to fans in the U.K. and Europe for the first time — is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time,” shares Wetmore. “I’m bringing some of my favorite people out on the road with me and you can bet we’re going to make it a party every night.”
Tucker Wetmore is currently nominated for CMA New Artist of the Year.

A popular new TikTok video is bringing Luke Combs’ “Huntin’ By Yourself” to life, as it shows the song’s heartfelt narrative come to life in a real father-son moment.
The video, shared by TikTok creator Olivia Plekker, opens with her 3.5-year-old son bundled up in his camo attire, helping her pack what he thinks are just a few snacks for his dad’s hunting trip. What he doesn’t realize, though, is that a big surprise is waiting for him just moments later.
Viewers hearts melted as soon as they heard the young boy say, “I’m gonna miss daddy.” With a bit of somberness in his voice, he walks over to the door to bring his dad his pre-packed snacks.
In the next moment, his dad points out, “Well, I’m not gonna be able to eat all this by myself,” which which leaves the boy looking confused and concerned. Then, in the next moment, his dad explains that while he won’t be able to finish the snacks on his own, he won’t have to because he’ll be sharing the food with the boy he’s inviting to join him on that day’s hunt.
The little boy’s expression instantly changed, lighting up as he jumped for joy, realizing he was about to spend some quality time with his dad. “Thanks, Daddy,” he exclaimed over and over, wrapping him in a heartfelt hug that once again made for a tearful moment.
@oliviaplekker I’m not crying… ok maybe I am 😭🦌🏹 #firsthunt #firsttimehunting #huntingbuddy ♬ Huntin’ By Yourself – Luke Combs
This tear-jerking video has since racked up over 9 million views and more than 16k comments of fans gushing over the massive impact that such a small gesture made for the young boy.
The moment is set to Combs nostalgic country ballad that appears on 2024’s Fathers & Sons project. Penned by the country star with Ray Fulcher, Alex Palmer, Michael Tyler and Thomas Archer, “Huntin’ By Yourself” offers a powerful story about fatherhood and cherishing fleeting moments with your child. It’s sung from the perspective of a dad who decides to take his young son hunting and ends up loving every minute of their time together, regardless of if it’s a successful hunting trip or not.
As the verses unfold, the song shifts from the present to the future as the father describes watching the boy grow up, get his own truck, and chase girls instead of deer. The dad quickly realizes that he’s back to hunting alone, offering a reminder of how fast time passes.
TikTok user Olivia explained to Country Now that she chose to use this tender tune because of how much she and her family are able to relate to its narrative.
“This song is special to me and my husband because while I grew up hunting at a young age, my husband didn’t. I know he’s had so much fun learning to hunt as an adult and has been waiting for the moment he could take his kids,” she shared.
@oliviaplekker Hunt update 🤣
In a follow-up video, Olivia asked her son how his first-ever hunt went. While they didn’t see any deer, the little boy insisted it was still “great,” and was clearly thrilled to get to spend quality time with his dad. He shared that the day included coloring, waiting, and enjoying their snacks together.
This is exactly the kind of moment Luke Combs captures in his songs, the little things that make fatherhood so special.

Parker McCollum’s sleek Challenger Hellcat seen in his “What Kinda Man” music video is now up for sale. The pre-owned vehicle sports a black exterior paired with a brown interior that, according to the salesman, “screams Texas.”
The car is priced at $98.9k and is available through Covert Auto Bee Cave in Bee Cave, Texas. This means that right now, fans have the unique opportunity to own the exact same Hellcat that’s featured in McCollum’s recent “What Kinda Man” music video.
“That is pretty cool,” the narrator behind the car dealership clip said. “If I were you, I’d come check it out. It’s an incredible spec. It is black on the brown interior a very, very classy specification that screams Texas.”
This sale has caught the attention of both Parker McCollum fans and car lovers alike through its advertisement on the official TikTok page of the family-owned car dealership.
One fan wrote, “Do I need a challenger? Absolutely not. Do I need it because it was Parker’s ? Absolutely. Lol.”
Another user joked, “will give you my whole bank account.”
@covertautobeecave Would you drive Parker’s Hellcat? 👀 #parkermccollum #hellcat #dodge #countrymusic #challenger ♬ original sound – 🏁 Covert Auto Bee Cave 🏁
The Hellcat acted as the perfect prop for the Dustin Haney directed music video, which finds the Texas native tapping into his more reckless days while speeding down the open roads in the polished vehicle. His car makes an appearance in several clips throughout the cinematic project, making for some true action-packed footage.
McCollum’s wife, Hallie Ray Light, also makes a cameo, acting out the real-life scenario of how the country star suddenly felt the desire to clean up his act together in order to be the kind of man that she needs him to be.
“Yeah, I’ve been runnin’ so damn long/ There ain’t a woman who could settle me down/ Wilder than a bat out of hell/ Off the rails and blazin’ through town/ But then you walk in floatin’ on air/ And you look across the room at me/ Forget the man I am, what kind of man do you need?” McCollum sings on the chorus.
Penned by McCollum alongside Natalie Hemby and Jeremy Spillman, “What Kinda Man” serves as the follow-up to McCollum’s four consecutive No. 1 singles – “Pretty Heart,” “To Be Loved By You,” “Handle On You,” and “Burn It Down.” It also appears on 2025’s self-titled project alongside tracks like “Hope The I’m Enough,” “My Worst Enemy,” “Killin’ Me” and more.
Even though the car is no longer in his possession, Parker McCollum’s need for speed is slated to continue into 2026 with his just-announced headline run. He will start the new year off right with a special New Year’s Eve performance at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX on December 31 and then embark on his next 14-date headline run.
Produced by Emporium Presents, the self-titled tour will launch January 23, 2026 at Don Haskins Center in El Paso, TX and continue through March.
Joining McCollum on the road is a lineup of rising country music stars including Max McNown, Jake Worthington, William Beckmann, Jackson Wendell, Tyler Halverson and Laci Kaye Booth as special guests on select dates.

Kenny Chesney is heading back to Las Vegas for another summer at the state of the art Sphere, and fans can expect a brand-new experience when he takes the stage.
The country superstar, who made history as the first-ever country artist to headline the cutting-edge venue, revealed that he’s planning to shake things up for his second run in Sin City.
“We have to change it some. Half the show’s probably gonna be completely different and we’re gonna change some of it that was not, you know, there’s some songs that we haven’t done in a while that we’re gonna do,” Chesney recently shared on SiriusXM’s No Shoes Radio. “That’s the beauty of it, because in that environment you get to do songs that you don’t get to do at stadium shows, and so we did a lot of that this year and we’re gonna do some more of that next summer, but I would say probably at least half the show is gonna be completely different.
The Country Music Hall of Famer wants to mix things up to give fans a fresh experience.
“I wouldn’t want to go to the Sphere one year and then come back the next year and see the exact same thing,” he admitted. “It’s like, ‘Oh, well, I went to the circus last year and they did the same thing this year.’”
Chesney laughed as he added, “I’m just saying. Whatever it is, it is a circus. I mean, we’re a circus act.”
Chesney’s return to the Sphere will give fans another chance to see his one-of-a-kind production, this time with an updated setlist and surprises only the “Get Along” singer can deliver.
The eight-time Entertainer of the Year will perform at the state-of-the-art venue on the following dates in 2026:
Friday, June 19
Saturday, June 20
Wednesday, June 24
Friday, June 26
Saturday, June 27
He says he was inspired to return after witnessing the fan reaction during his first run of shows in 2025.
“You can’t truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people,” Chesney said of the decision to come back. “The more I watched the fans having this experience I’m sure they couldn’t imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year’s songs, and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.”
He continued, “I think there are so many ways for people to play this venue, but I feel pretty sure nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy – or that freewheeling Sandbar experience – than No Shoes Nation. And wherever they sat, we could hear ‘em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”
This year, fans can also look forward to an all-new Guitars, Tiki Bars experience. Plus, VIP package holders will enjoy exclusive access to a private Vibe Room complete with its own surf shop, bar, and dedicated space.
Vibee, the music-led destination experience company, is teaming up with Kenny Chesney as the official VIP Concert & Hotel Experience partner for his just-announced shows at Sphere. Each Concert & Hotel Experience Package includes the choice of ‘The Sandbar’ (GA floor) or premium reserved seating at Sphere, a collectible laminate and lanyard, and a two-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, the only resort connected to Sphere.
Those who grab a ‘Live Like We Do’ package will unlock even more VIP perks, like priority entry to Sphere, access to the private VIP space called ‘The Vibe Room’ with its own merch store, early access to the ‘Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love – the Kenny Chesney Fan Experience,’ luxury motorcoach airport transfers, and an exclusive Kenny Chesney gift bag featuring a copy of his new book Heart Life Music.
If you already have your own accommodations, the ‘Roll Like We Do’ VIP Concert Experience Package includes all of the same perks, minus the hotel stay and airport transfers. For more info and to check out Vibee’s packages, visit kennychesney.vibee.com.

Riley Green got an unexpected surprise during a recent show when a very enthusiastic fan attempted to crash his performance. That fan happened to be singer-songwriter Annie Bosko’s sister, Katie Boskovich, and according to Bosko, the appearance was completely unplanned.
While so many fans would love the opportunity to share the stage with Green, not many get the chance to make that happen. Unfortunately, the same was true even for Katie over the weekend, although she made a good attempt at turning this dream into a reality.
Bosko shared a video of the moment her sister confidently danced her way onto the stage in her long dress, cowboy boots and cowboy hat.
“When your sister hears ‘There Was This Girl’ and decides she IS the girl,” she wrote, making light of the situation.
Before Katie could get too close, security quickly stepped in and ushered her off to the other side of the stage. She continued to smile and sway along to the performance, while clearly trying to convince Green’s crew member to let her have her moment. She tossed one last wave in Riley’s direction before making her exit. The country superstar never acknowledged her unexpected presence on stage and has yet to comment on the situation.
Bosko joked that while she knew her sister “wanted to ‘support my career,’” she never expected that support to come from the stage alongside the headliner. The “California Cowgirl” singer also stressed that Riley Green never asked her to join him during the performance. It was entirely Katie’s idea, fueled by a little liquid courage.
She added, “FYI @rileyduckman didn’t invite her up — tequila did… and there was definitely more than one in her hand. God help me. Apologies team Riley. 🙏🫣”
The comment section of the post was filled with laughter as fans reacted to the unexpected cameo, calling the whole situation “hilarious.”
Bosko’s sister also made sure to jump in to share her side of the story. She joked, “I was trying to support his career!!!! 😂 also he had no backup dancers and you know how much I love being a backup dancer @anniebosko Can I be your backup dancer????”
Fellow musicians joined in on the fun as well. Natalie Stovall wrote, “OMG I’m dying,” while country musician Kyler Steven Fisher added a simple, “haha,” showing that even the professionals found the stunt entertaining.
This unforgettable encounter took place in the midst of the “Worst Way” singer’s 2025 tour which is set to wrap up with back-to-back nights at Resorts World Las Vegas on December 12 and 13.
Green will kick off 2026 with shows in Australia before returning to the U.S. to launch his biggest headlining tour yet.
