ERNEST is warming up the cold winter days with his new sun-soaked song, “Lorelei.” The release marks the first track to preview the country star’s third full-length studio album, Deep Blue, arriving later this year.
Co-produced by ERNEST and Jacob Durrett, and written alongside Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, and Mark Holman, the track depicts “a sailor’s tale as old as time,” as stated in the opening line.
The story centers around a man dreaming of a mysterious woman who always seems just out of reach. Somehow she keeps the narrator under her spell, drawing him back into the chase again and again despite her “wicked lies.” With layered instrumentation that blends a relaxed pace with an infectious rhythm, and ERNEST’s mellow, soothing vocals, “Lorelei” transports listeners to a breezy island escape.
He sings, “Lorelei, Lorelei/ I still hear you whisper in the dead of night/ You wreck my world and I don’t know why/ I keep my sails in the wind for ya/ Lorelei, Lorelei.”
While reflecting on today’s release, the GRAMMY®-nominated artist explains how it lays the foundation for his next project and the warmth he hopes it evokes for listeners.
“‘Lorelei’ is the first song off my album Deep Blue,” he says. “It sets the tone for the deep blue world this album lives in. It might be cold where you are, but you can close your eyes and feel the sun and hear the waves like you’re right there looking for her with me.”
Before his next studio album, Deep Blue, drops in 2026, ERNEST suggests that fans revisit his 2019 debut album, Locals Only, as those songs were also influenced by the carefree lifestyle and sounds of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
These new songs will showcase ERNEST’s growth over the past seven years while drawing inspiration from a place that has shaped him both personally and creatively. Thematically, the album is expected to use this setting to highlight his thoughtful, storytelling through a deeper, more mature perspective.
As he prepares to share this fresh sound with the world, ERNEST has already hit the road, kicking off his headlining Live From The South Tour last weekend in Jackson Hole, WY, at the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The tour will continue through cities like Boston, New York, and Houston before wrapping in April.
Joining him on the road are rising singer-songwriters Rhys Rutherford, Chandler Walters, and Cody Lohden, all of whom are signed to his label, DeVille Records, and his publishing company, Cadillac Music Publishing.

Who can keep a secret this big?
On the Today show, Kylie Kelce of course fielded questions about her extended family.
That includes a probing interrogation about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s impending nuptials.
How much did Kylie confirm?
Can she keep a secret?
On Friday Morning, January 30, Kylie Kelce appeared as a guest on the Today show.
Host Savannah Guthrie did not hesitate to grill Kylie about her brother-in-law’s upcoming wedding.
Travis and Taylor are engaged.
Rumor has it that they’ll marry this summer — possibly in Rhode Island.
Here’s what Kylie had to share.
“Do we think there’s a wedding this year?” Savannah asked.
A visibly uncomfortable Kylie hesitated before modestly replying: “Oh, I don’t know.”
Savannah didn’t take the hint.
“Do you really not know?” she asked her guest.
“I have no idea,” Kylie then claimed. She went on to laugh with obvious discomfort and avoid eye contact.
She is ‘Not Gonna Lie’ after all
Without accusing Kylie of lying, one can honestly state that nervous laughter and avoiding eye contact are stereotypical signs of a bad liar attempting to avoid telling the truth.
Which is funny, because her podcast happens to be titled Not Gonna Lie. Her host knew that, too.
“You’re not going to lie?” Savannah quipped.
“Yes! I’m not going to lie,” Kylie fired back.
Generally, going on Today doesn’t make someone feel like they’re getting the third degree. Of course, wedding secrets aren’t usually this big of a deal.
In what may have been an attempt to ease off, Savannah asked Kylie if she is going to “get yourself in trouble.”
The implication being that she might say too much and incur the wrath of bride-to-be Taylor Swift.
“Never!” Kylie declared.
“But we are excited to celebrate, though,” she admitted.
Kylie expressed: “We can’t wait.”
Our information about the wedding is actually pretty limited
In August of 2025, Travis proposed to Taylor. She said yes.
The (admittedly one-sided) power couple had been dating for two years.
We still do not officially know a lot of details about the wedding plans.
Taylor likes to keep things close to the vest, especially when it comes to her personal life.
Maybe she’ll marry Travis this summer in Rhode Island. But she has the resources to marry her man at any place at any time — and she could always surprise us.

Post Malone takes center stage in Bud Light’s Super Bowl LX commercial.
The newly announced spot reunites longtime friends of the brand, Post Malone, Shane Gillis, and Peyton Manning, for an unforgettable Big Game moment, set to the incredible vocals of music legend Whitney Houston.
The 60-second clip finds Posty, Gillis, and Manning at a wedding, where Manning is spotted enjoying an ice-cold Bud Light. Posty asks, “Is there enough for everyone?”
Manning points toward a keg being wheeled in the distance, but disaster quickly strikes as the keg slips off the hand truck and tumbles down a rocky hillside.
Chaos ensues as wedding guests, including the iconic trio, chase after the rolling keg. Some guests stumble and tumble, while Gillis finds a path, taps the keg, and kicks the party into full swing.
All of this unfolds to Houston’s classic “I Will Always Love You,” a song written by the legendary Dolly Parton.
Bud Light is taking Super Bowl LX celebrations to the next level — hundreds of kegs will be dropped at Gillette Stadium and Lumen Field, giving fans a chance to score two tickets to the Big Game in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The festivities don’t stop there: Post Malone will headline an exclusive concert, “Bud Light Presents Post Malone & Buddies,” in San Francisco on Friday, February 6, as part of the Super Bowl LX weekend.
“Getting back on the Bud Light stage during Super Bowl weekend is like coming home. I love it! We’ve got something really special planned for this year,” Post Malone, a Bud Light partner of nearly a decade, shared.
“As the Official Beer Sponsor of the NFL, Bud Light knows best the excitement of Super Bowl weekend, and we show up every year to provide football fans with bucket-list experiences. We’re pumped to run it back with Posty, our buddy of nearly a decade, for what will be one of the most electrifying shows of Super Bowl weekend,” Todd Allen, SVP of Marketing for Bud Light, added.
Super Bowl LX will air live on February 8, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock from Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. The big game will feature the Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots.

When the world learned that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were dating, most reacted with utter confusion.
After all, Sydney might be the most sought-after human being on the planet, and while he’s very rich, Scooter is also very problematic.
It was an odd pairing from the start — and it looks it may have already come to an end.
Neither Sydney nor Scooter has publicly confirmed that they’ve called it quits, but all the signs are there:
For starters, they haven’t been seen in public together in more than two months.
On top of that, Syd just gave an in-depth interview with Cosmo, and in it, she sounds very much like a single gal:
“Look, I am a boss in my life. I take control. I go after what I want. I am confident, and I am successful, and I don’t actually need a man,” she told the outlet, adding:
“I’ve got myself. I’ve got an incredible group of girlfriends. I’ve got a team of badass women. That is very intimidating to a lot of guys, so a guy needs to be able to stand in that with me.”
From there, Sweeney went on to say that dating is tough for her, as not every potential partner can handle her lifestyle.
She explained that it “takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with” her level of fame.
She added that she recently dated a guy who she “really, really liked,” but he ended it because he “couldn’t handle [her] world.”
“It’s a hard thing,” Syd said, adding that she recently received some advice from her mom:
“The other day, my mom and I were talking about guys, and I was like, ‘Well, he’s not really my type,’” Sweeney recalled.
“Well, maybe your type’s not working out for you, Syd,” Mom offered.
“Maybe I need to be open to other experiences and try not to put everything in this exact box of what I think I need,” Sydney recalled realizing.
Again, no mention of Scooter, but that’s a lot of dating talk for someone who’s currently in a relationship.
We don’t know if Braun is the guy who couldn’t handle Sydney’s level of fame and fortune, but that seems unlikely, as he’s been highly successful for a very long time.
And as the man who discovered Justin Bieber, it’s not like he’s unaccustomed to hanging out with pop culture icons.
We may never know what happened with the Scooter fling, but Sydney supporters were never a fan of him — so they’re probably quite happy to learn that their girl is back on the market.
