Chase Matthew Purchases ‘Forever Property,’ Dubbed ‘Chasen’ Acres’

Chase Matthew recently made a major purchase that he’s already calling his “forever property.”

During a new interview with Country Countdown USA, the chart-topping country star opened up about what’s new in his life, revealing that he recently purchased his own piece of land, and he’s already putting in the work to make it his own.

“I just recently purchased my forever property. I named it Chasen’ Acres. We’re having a lotta good times out there,” Matthew shared. “I feel I’ve worked hard to earn that place. So I’m in the process of learning how to grow hay and cut hay. We have a couple ponds. It’s not a lake, but it’s a good time.”

Matthew frequently gives fans a glimpse into life off the road, sharing photos and videos of himself working around the property and tackling the everyday chores that come with owning land.

Those days at home are especially valuable for the Tennessee native, who has spent much of the year on the road living out his country music dreams. Earlier this summer, Matthew checked a major item off his bucket list when he performed his first-ever stadium show alongside his friends and heroes, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.

And while his touring schedule keeps him busy, Matthew is also watching his music continue to climb the country radio charts. His solo single, “Holdin’ It Down,” is making an impact, while his collaboration with Lauren Alaina, “All My Exes,” is also gaining major momentum.

Matthew admitted that seeing the two songs climbing the charts at the same time is a surreal experience.

“It’s pretty crazy to see my name on that chart with so many people who are the biggest in the industry. So to see it twice, and be shared with Lauren Alaina, she’s such a great person, such a great friend,” he said, before adding, “When we sang it, we knew it was meant to be. It’s cool to see where it’s at now.”

As he continues working on his next project, Matthew is also giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come with new music. He recently released “Autopilot,” which he has described as his most personal song to date. The vulnerable track offers an unfiltered look at a difficult period in his life, capturing the feeling of simply going through the motions and moving through life on autopilot.

“‘Autopilot’ is the most important song I’ve ever released,” Matthew previously shared. “I wrote it about one of the lowest points of my life, when I was just going through the motions and honestly didn’t care what tomorrow looked like.”

Laci Kaye Booth Opens Up About the Self-Doubt and Discomfort Behind Promoting Her Upcoming Album

Laci Kaye Booth is opening up about the uncomfortable reality of having an increased online presence while promoting her upcoming album, admitting that she has been fighting the urge to retreat from the spotlight completely.

Fans may have noted that Booth has been more intentional about being active on social media in recent months. She has been sharing more snippets of her life along with previewing her third studio album, Love Ain’t For The Faint Of Heart, which is scheduled to arrive on September 18.

The songstress took to her Instagram story over the weekend to explain that while she knows having a strong presence on her platforms is important in generating interest surrounding her next project, she has found herself struggling to fight her natural instinct to  “disappear on socials and within the industry.”

“I’ve been posting so much in the last few months and it makes me nauseous & insanely uncomfortable. Every time I post, my brain tells me I’m desperate for attention and approval and that I’m coming off vain and shallow,” she wrote in the honest statement.

Booth says she has learned to stop fighting those feelings and instead has accepted that stepping outside her comfort zone is simply part of giving her album the best chance at success.

“I promised myself I’d show up for this one. I’d give this album campaign and this tour a better chance than I gave The Loneliest Girl in the World. I’ve done the whole ‘make the music, stay out of the public eye and hope people find it’ thing. Turns out that is not a particularly strong marketing strategy and it doesn’t make a whole lotta people happy,” she admitted.

Throughout her career, Booth has discovered what it feels like to be the artist who is costing a label more money than she is making them in return and what comes od that as a result.

“I know how that story ends, and though sometimes for the best, I’d rather know I did everything I could for this art this time ’round.”

With that in mind, Booth lets fans know they will probably see a lot more of her in the coming months as she continues to push herself to be more present throughout the album cycle and upcoming tour.

“I’m trying this freaky little thing called ‘participating in my own career.’ When it’s over, I will happily return to my regularly scheduled programming of tending to my tiny, quiet, private life. Until then.. please bear with a shy, timid bitch❤️,” she added in conclusion.

Laci Kaye Booth recently announced that she is set to embark on her first-ever headlining tour in support of her next album. The seven-date Love Ain’t For The Faint Of Heart Tour will include stops at dive bars and honky-tonks that inspired the album’s tracks, kicking off September 27 in Chicago and wrapping in Los Angeles on October 15.

Plus she has also been tapped to support Ella Langley on select tour dates beginning July 23. The trek includes a two-night stand at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (October 13 & 14).

A full list of upcoming tour dates can be found on Booth’s official website.

WATCH: Russell Dickerson Falls Off Stage Mid-Show and Keeps On Singing

Russell Dickerson took a fall off the stage during his show at Mansfield Speedway over the weekend, but he quickly recovered and kept the show going.

On Saturday, August 8, Dickerson brought his RUSSELLMANIA Tour 2026 to the speedway located in Ohio, marking the first-ever live music concert hosted at the racetrack. It’s safe to say that this was a how fans won’t forget.

The country star was in the midst of performing the fan favorite “She Likes It” when he attempted to get even closer to fans by standing on a speaker just below the stage. He held his balance for a moment, but suddenly the entire piece of equipment fell over causing Dickerson to go down with it.

For a very brief moment he disappeared onto the ground before popping right back up and continuing to deliver the track without missing a beat. The “Happen To Me” singer laughed off the situation, fixed his hair and jumped back on stage.

A few fan videos captured the dramatic fall and Dickerson himself shared a hilarious edit to social media shortly after the show. Fittingly set to Colbie Caillat’s “Fallin’ For You,” the video showcased the fall from multiple different angles and proved that he can laugh off the moment.

The text on the video read, “Stage: 1, Russell: 0” while he noted that he “Fell hard for Mansfield last night ♥️,” in the caption.  

The comment section was filled with users commending him on his quick recovery, citing that he “nailed that landing.” His wife, Kailey even chimed in, saying “CAN’T KEEP THIS MAN DOWNNNN.”

The country star continues his RUSSELLMANIA Tour 2026, with various headline shows and fair and festival dates scheduled through October, all while preparing for an even bigger adventure offstage.

Russell Dickerson and his wife Kailey recently announced they’re expecting baby No. 3, adding another exciting chapter to their growing family. They are already parents to their two sons, Remington, 5, and Radford, 3, but took to social media on July 30 to let fans know that another little one is on the way.

The announcement came in the form of a beachside video soundtracked by his sweet song, “Famous Back Home.” The couple captioned the post, “One more face in that hallway hall of fame. ✨🖼️✨”

Whether it’s a fall, a wardrobe malfunction, or the unexpected chaos that comes with parenthood, Dickerson knows how to laugh it off and roll with whatever comes his way.
