Over the course of LeAnn Rimes’ 30 years in the music business, she has encountered many different versions of herself. The songstress is now in a place where she feels comfortable enough to open up about health struggles that impacted her life, the support system that got her through it and the new, healthier era she has stepped into.
Rimes no longer hides behind her struggles with anxiety, depression, psoriasis and perimenopause. By sharing her journey with these various illnesses, she tells Us Weekly about her desire to hopefully be able to help anyone else who might be battling their own struggles in silence.
“I remember when I posted the picture of me with psoriasis all over me [in 2020], and it was such a moment of relief because I had been hiding that for so long. The same with my mental health and now with perimenopause. Every time I talk about it, I set myself — and someone else — free.”
She continues, “For so long, it did feel like I was hiding so much of myself. It did allow for the insecurity of thoughts I’ve had in the past about ‘I’m not pretty, I’m not good enough.’ I did learn how to love myself through all of my different incarnations.”
Through efforts such as physical therapy, research, finding the right doctors and a lot of reflection, Rimes can confidently say now that she has the tools to look forward with optimism.
“Looking back at all of those different people I was, I know that next year I’ll be different from who I am now. I hope I am,” she admitted. “I’m aware of getting the chance to love all of the aspects of myself. Some of those are harder to love, but I now have the bandwidth and capacity. I can talk to myself in a kinder way.”
Rimes says that after taking the time to prioritize her physical health, she is feeling “great,” despite the occasional off day when she is “hormonally challenged” due to perimenopause. Some of her treatments include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help with “intrusive thoughts,” detoxing her body and working on grounding exercises and breathing exercises after a long day’s work.
Plus, she has had her husband Eddie Cibrian acting as her strongest support system through all the bad days.
“He’s keeping a sense of humor in this massive transition when his wife is becoming a different person. Just having that levity is super helpful because I’m not one to joke about it. He pulls me back out of it into this lighter realm.”
This current era of LeAnn Rimes at 43 years old is centered around freedom and exploration, which for her, means embracing creativity, taking control of her well-being, and confronting challenges without hesitation.
“I’ve always been one where as soon as somebody tries to fit me into a box, I break out of it in every way possible,” she tells the outlet. “I’m still in that era and forever will be — probably even more so now. I’ve done this for so long that I’m lucky enough to get to choose what roles I want to play, what songs I want to sing.”
Along with embracing her creativity through music, Rimes has also stepped into a new role as the character Dixie Bennings on the new ABC series 9-1-1: Nashville, premiering on Thursday, October 9.
Of her new role, Rimes says, “I get to let out a side of myself that doesn’t ever come out in real life, so it’s very healing in that way. It was definitely a stretch for me. Dixie is obsessed with her son. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for her son as a single mom. But she definitely feels like she’s been slighted in life. She will go to every extreme in order to get what she feels like she’s owed — including manipulating his love.”
Rimes also hinted that she’ll sing in the show while playing an aspiring artist trying to navigate how music fits into her life. Portraying this role has given Rimes a chance to reflect on her own path in music and in doing so was reminded of what a gift it is to be able to create and share her music.
“The best gift I’ve ever been given is to be an artist,” the “What Mattered Most” singer added. “To have been as successful as I’ve been for as long as I’ve been, I don’t take that for granted.”
Fans will be able to catch LeAnn Rimes both on TV and on the road, with performances scheduled through March of 2026.

Last night proved that Post Malone knows how to throw a party. In celebration of the grand opening of his new Nashville bar, Posty’s, Malone shut down Lower Broadway and performed a free concert with surprise appearances from some fellow country acts.
The night began with the “Pour Me A Drink” singer taking part in the ceremonial ribbon cutting at the establishments Third Avenue entrance. He was joined by Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, Metro Police Chief John Drake, District Councilman Jacob Kupin and Director of Nightlife Benton McDonough while Wayne D of iHeartRadio emceed.
Once inside, those in attendance for the grand opening got a first-hand look at all the memorabilia, unique décor and lively atmosphere that lies within the 26,000 square-feet venue.
“Posty’s represents a new era for me and how I connect with my fans,” said Posty. “This place is about having a kickass time, leaving your lonelies at the door, and finding a friend inside.”
Malone hit the stage at Third Avenue and Broadway after the ribbon was cut, performing for a massive crowd of 30,000+ fans from all over the country. The temporary stage had been brought in and built overnight for the special pop-up performance.
Epic Surprise Guests
Throughout the night, fans sang along with Malone as he delivered a set of classic country covers as an ode to the genre’s biggest hits. Just when fans thought it couldn’t get any better, the genre-bending star welcomed several surprise guests. First up was Dierks Bentley for a duet on his early hit, on “What Was I Thinking.” Next, he joined forces with Grammy-winning, multi-platinum star Lainey Wilson for a powerful rendition of “Nosedive.”
He closed the performance alongside his final surprise guest of the night, country music legends Brooks & Dunn. The highest-selling duo in the genre’s history joined him in delivering a memorable trio performance of their signature hits, “Neon Moon” and “Brand New Man.”
Largest Ground Floor Footprint On Broadway
Located at 305 Broadway, Posty’s officially opened its doors on Wednesday, July 2. The venue is the largest ground floor footprint located on Broadway and features six bars, three stages, and a rooftop. Guests can also enter from 3rd Avenue for quick counter-service dining, while the lower-level artist lounge provides a private space with karaoke. Upstairs, the rooftop patio delivers stunning views of Nashville’s beloved skyline.
Posty’s also offers an exquisite menu that has something for everyone with a variety of flavors and dishes. The menu includes sandwiches, salads, and Southern classics including BBQ ribs, cowboy ribeyes, and more. Plus, a late-night menu is available at the counter near the Roadside entrance off 3rd Ave with even more delicious food options like grilled cheese and a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich.
Posty’s is operated by TC Restaurant Group, which is known for its successful management and operations of celebrity branded venues such as Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa, and Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottoms Up.
“It’s not every day that you get to work with an artist as dynamic, versatile, and genuine as Post, and we wanted the grand opening to match that experience. We felt the best way to do that is to include Nashville,” TC Restaurant Group Vice President of Operations Grant Burlingame said. “Our team is honored to rise to the occasion and officially welcome Posty’s – a venue we’re so proud of – to Music City.”

Mitchell Tenpenny’s 4th Annual Cornhole Tournament was a special one. On October 7, fellow artists and members of the music industry came together at Nashville’s BMI office to join the “We All Fight” event, benefitting ACM Lifting Lives in partnership with The 10Penny Fund.
Together with ACM Lifting Lives, 100% of the proceeds went toward funding individual grants that help provide mental health support and cover essential needs for music industry colleagues impacted by cancer. This year, the event held during Breast Cancer Awareness month raised an impressive $117,471 for the cause.
Reflecting on the event, Tenpenny shared, “Thank you to everyone who came and supported my annual charity cornhole event. It gets better every year and we could not do it without everyone coming together for this great cause. I love you all and it means the world to me yall keep showing up. God bless yall and thanks for an incredible day!”
In addition to Mitchell Tenpenny, the other noteworthy artists who participated in this year’s tournament included Parker McCollum, Adam Doleac, Caylee Hammack, Dawson Anderson, Noah Hicks, and Ernest. Guests enjoyed a cannoli bar, curated cocktails, and prizes while cheering on the players. The tournament winners were songwriters Matt Alderman, a two-time winner, and Jared Mullens, who had his third tournament win.
The idea to start the 10Penny Fund came to the country star after the personal experience of losing a family member to cancer. His father, Mitchel James Tenpenny Jr., died of a rare form of the disease in 2014. Tenpenny watched not only what his father went through physically, but also mentally. Seeing his loved one suffer struck a chord with the “Bigger Mistakes” singer and prompted him to use his platform to do something to help fill a gap for families of cancer patients.

This true desire to provide additional support to cancer patients beyond traditional medical treatment led to the creation of The 10Penny Fund.
“I want people to (understand) the mental side of what happens when you hear you have cancer,” said the singer. “There are amazing drugs and amazing doctors … but there’s a completely other side to cancer that I’ve seen personally and that’s the mental side of it. If my father would’ve had access to someone to explain his specific cancer and how to … treat it mentally, I think it would have … helped from the ground up. That’s … what I want to start as a charity,” Tenpenny told The Tennessean in 2019.
His efforts have resulted in an opportunity for families to invest in meaningful programs that aim to motivate patients mentally, provide essential needs and build a community of support. In his mind, giving back is a way to make a difference where he once felt helpless.
“My dad didn’t get sick,” Tenpenny continued. “My dad didn’t show pain. My dad didn’t … you know, he was Dad. He never let me know he was sick. So up until his last few days, I never knew how serious it was. It just eats me up every day thinking, ‘Man, if there was something I could’ve done.’ And that’s what kind of inspires me to do this. I feel like I could’ve helped him.”

Hillary Scott of Lady A is nearly three months into life as a mom of four, and things couldn’t be going better with another newborn in the house. Among all the emotions she has felt since welcoming her newest daughter, Selah Jean, a deep sense of gratitude stands out as she looks back on the miscarriage she experienced back in 2015.
Scott and her husband, Chris Tyrrell celebrated the arrival of their baby girl on July 25, 2025. Now, with four young girls at home, Scott says her heart, and her hands, are fuller than ever and she doesn’t take a second for granted as she knows how precious life is.
“It’s been 10 years since our pregnancy loss,” Scott told PEOPLE. “Your heart remembers, and your body remembers. You just have to really choose gratitude and thankfulness that God saw fit to send us not just our twins, but another little girl.”
Despite the heartbreak they once faced, Scott says their family’s story proves that it is possible to come out on the other side and to create a home that is filled with joy even after pain.
“We are in a really sweet place right now,” she added “Our house is full, and our hearts are full and we’re just adjusting to life with a newborn again, and it’s so fun. She’s doing wonderful.”
The couple has embraced the chaos and joy that come with life as a family of six. Plus, they have had the pleasure of watching their older daughter’s Eisele Kaye, 12, and Emory JoAnn and Betsy Mack, 7, step into their new roles as big sisters.
“[Selah’s] sisters are just so smitten with her,” explains Scott. “I feel like my older girls come down the stairs every morning, and if I’m feeding her or she’s waking up, it’s like Christmas morning every day. It’s just so sweet.”
Hillary Scott isn’t the only member of Lady A who is staying busy at home with little ones. Charles Kelley and his wife Cassie also expanded their family recently with the birth of their baby boy, Archer Lancaster Kelly, on September 16.
“For the past four or five years, we were like, ‘Okay, it’s just not in the cards and we’re completely happy with our life,’” Kelley admitted to the outlet. “Then it was almost like the minute we stopped trying and thinking about it, it just happened.”
Meanwhile, their third band member, Dave Haywood and his wife Kelli became a family of five last July 2024 when they welcomed their third child, a son named Joseph Michael Haywood.
“I mean, what are the chances we are all in the same season of life again?” adds Scott “I can’t even express just how much joy it brings for all of us — not only in our individual families, but also as the collective Lady A family. We’re just so overjoyed.”
The country trio is currently gearing up to return to the road this winter on the 2025 THIS WINTER’S NIGHT TOUR in support of On This Winter’s Night (Volume 2), their first full holiday album in 13 years. Even though Hillary Scott is still fresh into her new chapter, she is taking things one day at a time and getting stronger in the process. Luckily, she admits this was her “easiest” pregnancy yet.
“I was not expecting being an ‘older mom,’ but Selah was really sweet to me. Plus, I think also having three older girls to just wake up and show up for and run around with has helped my recovery. I’m just really not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m just really feeling my way through each day.”
Scott shared that there is no concrete plan for how to balance having a four-month-old baby and being on a road, but her focus is more on looking forward to the exciting part of that time of year.
“The holiday season just becomes more and more magical with each year and so, we will definitely be bringing that magic that [the kids] inspire us with into every show.”
Lady A’s first-ever Christmas tour will launch Dec. 5 in Atlanta, GA and continue across the U.S. until bringing things to a close with a three-night run at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. This tour will feature a whole lot of festive joy as they celebrate their accompanying holiday project. This collection features 11 tracks that intertwine holiday classics with timeless originals.

Mary J. Blige is bringing one of her biggest career moments to the big screen. The Grammy and Emmy Award-winning hip-hop soul icon announced the release of Mary J. Blige: For My Fans, a concert film highlighting her historic sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden back in April.
Recorded during the New York stop of her For My Fans Tour, the film will play in theaters globally on November 5 and 8. Along with the tour performance, it will also showcase guest appearances and behind-the-scenes footage. Find more information about tickets for the For My Fans film here.
