Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are giving fans an inside look at their history-making night at Sanford Stadium with the release of the live performance video for “Songs About Us.”
The video captures the unforgettable moment the two Georgia natives performed the song together for the first time during their sold-out concert on the University of Georgia campus on April 25.
Viewers see an epic aerial view of the estimated 63,000 fans that packed the stadium before the spotlight shines on Aldean as he delivers the song’s opening verse and chorus. Bryan stands beside him on stage, strumming his guitar before taking over the second verse.
The performance footage is interlaced with various clips filmed throughout the night, starting with the artists’ pre-show ritual, their walk through the tunnel of the stadium and onto the stage and a series of highlights from the unforgettable evening before signing off. Fans can watch the pair celebrate their friendship of nearly two decades as they share laughs, down a few drinks and perform a mix of their biggest hits.
Through it all, their voices continue to effortlessly weave together, delivering a song that feels like the perfect duet for two longtime friends. Serving as the title track of Aldean’s 12th studio album, “Songs About Us” marks a full-circle collaboration between two artists who share similar beginnings, from their Georgia roots and musical influences to the stages they played before finding success.
The sentiment behind the song runs deeper than just the music. It reflects the experiences and stories they have both spent years capturing throughout their careers, making it clear why Bryan was the perfect voice for Aldean to bring on.
Aldean and Bryan’s friendship dates all the way back to when they were both just dreamers, rising through the country music ranks and carving out their paths in the industry. This song and their performance at Sanford Stadium serve as a remind of how far they’ve come individually and how strong their friendship has remained through it all.
The video arrives just days after Aldean celebrated earning his 32nd No. 1 hit on country radio with “Don’t Tell On Me.” He is also in the midst of his Songs About Us Tour, which is set to continue through the end of September, while Luke Bryan is busy with his Word On The Street Tour and upcoming Farm Tour shows.
The pair of artists have more opportunities for fans to catch them on the road together on their Double Down Tour 2026, including stops in Missoula, MT, San Diego, CA, Washington, DC and Las Vegas, NV.

Tucker Wetmore continues to heat up summer with his latest anthem, “Who Told You That,” which documents his attempt at keeping his reputation as a romantic intact with his newfound love interest.
Penned by Jordan Schmidt, Ashley Gorley, Hunter Phelps and Michael Tyler, the upbeat track finds Wetmore addressing the assumptions that he’s a heartbreaker who can’t commit. He makes his case, stating that that there’s more to him than the rumors and promises to prove that he’s actually the kind of guy to bring his woman breakfast in bed, take long walks on the beach and put his heart on full display.
As soon as the tune begins, fans are greeted with a dance-worthy, flirtatious melody that’s fueled by the country star’s breezy vocals and laid-back delivery. The track creates an easygoing yet heartfelt listening experience that makes it hard not to believe everything the character at hand is saying.
The chorus serves as Wetmore’s main plea to not be defined by the talk circulating around the town. Instead of letting their weightless words tell his story, he highlights the ways he would show up for her.
“I’ll take a walk on the beach/ I’ll write your name in the sand/ Ain’t no romantic in me/ I don’t know who told you that/ I’ll bring you breakfast in bed/ Mimosas up in your glass/ Treat you like my Juliet/ I don’t know who told you that/ I’m that guy, who’s gonna end it with a bad goodbye/ They love to lie/ ‘Cause baby, I’ll make you mine/ Put single me in the past/ They say you’re wasting your time/ I don’t know who told you that.”
“Who Told You That” earned the No. 1 most-added song at County radio upon its release with 89 first-week stations. The milestone marks Wetmore’s largest add date of his career as the single debuts at No. 54 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart.
This week, Wetmore also announced his new six-song Sunburn Mixtape, that’s set to drop July 31 via Back Blocks Music/MCA/Mercury Records. The collection will combine three previously released fan favorites, “Who Told You That,” “Sunburn” and “Proving Me Right,” with three brand new tracks, “Crazy To Yourself,” “98%” and“YOURS.”
The Washington native will head back on the road beginning next month to launch the second leg of his Brunette World Tour. In September he will also join Brooks & Dunn for select dates, including a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on September 12.

Shania Twain stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon ahead of the release of her next album, Little Miss Twain. Giving fans a preview of the project arriving July 24, she performs “Dirty Rosie” and shares how the collection as a whole ties back to her upbringing.
The country music icon has only delivered the advance release of three songs from the record: the title track featuring Tanya Tucker, “Faded Blue Jeans” featuring Josh Homme and “Dirty Rosie.” Written solely by Twain, the ladder of the tracks centers around a deep personal connection to her truck. The vehicle she holds so close to her heart acts like a symbol of the freedom, memories and the life experiences that shaped her growing up.
She goes on to say that someone could “drive me nuts” or “drive all night to see her,” but the one thing that’s forever off limits is driving her beloved truck, Dirty Rosie because she works hard all night long, spends her nickels and dimes to keep it running.
Twain brought “Dirty Rosie” to life on the Tonight Show with a show-stopping stage presence, elevated by her stunning green ensemble featuring a sheer, rhinestone-covered top paired with leather shorts and of course a pair of heeled boots. Backed by her epic band, she fully embraced the song’s edgier sound, delivering a high-energy performance filled with confidence, attitude and plenty of heart.
She sings, “You can drive me crazy, drive me half nuts/ You can drive all night to see me, take a chance on your luck/ You can drive a Hummer in the summer/ You can even drive the ladies in my Mercedes/ But you can’t drive my truck/ Not my truck.”
Sitting down with Fallon to discuss the song, Twain explained that much like the rest of the album, “Dirty Rosie” was inspired by an element of her upbringing in Canada. She explains she learned to drive at 10 years old out of necessity to help her family with work.
“We were woodsmen and all of our work, my parents’ work was out in the woods and they always needed extra drivers. So it’s like, ‘get in there.’ And my dad was a hunter as well. So he’s like, ‘Okay, you drive and I’ll watch. I’ll look out for the moose.’ So he scouts for the moose and I drive. So I learned how to drive at 10. It was very useful. I felt very empowered and very grown up.”
The track finds her reflecting back on the old days of driving around in that old red truck that was faded from all the use it as a work vehicle.
“I actually value that now. We never could afford new vehicles when I was a kid. And now if I had a choice of having a faded old red work truck, her name would be Dirty Rosie,” Twain added.
The “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” singer also noted that on the album’s release date, she anticipates it to feel like “Christmas Morning,” because she has anxiously been awaiting the day she could finally share this collection of songs with the world.
This collection takes listeners back to when she got her stage name, “Little Miss Twain” while performing in small, smoky bars at eight years old.
“People just started calling me ‘Little Miss Twain’ and I would be introduced on stage, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Little Miss Twain.”’ And that always, it struck me more now looking back and reflecting on the child from the beginning. And it impacts me more. And I ended up writing this song and it’s primarily about my mother’s roles in my career. Manager ,drove me everywhere. Agent, she got me up on every stage she could possibly find, hoping that I would get discovered, which wasn’t going to happen until much later in my career and she would already have passed,” Twain explained.
The title track featured vocals from Tanya Tucker, which marks a very full-circle moment in Shania Twain’s life.
“I lost my mother early on in my life…according to my mother, ‘I’m the next Tanya Tucker,’ is what I sing. And my mother’s dream was that I would be a childhood star like Tanya Tucker…she put the dream out there and I brought Tanya Tucker in the studio, and she sang with me on this record. It was so full circle.”
The project arrives July 24via Republic Nashville and includes 15 tracks.
Shania Twain just wrapped up an epic 12-night run with Harry Styles at Wembley Stadium in London and is set to perform in New York, NY tonight, July 23.

Kenny Chesney watched his life and career unfold before his eyes on Wednesday evening as he received a first look at his brand-new exhibit, Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
The moment marked yet another milestone in what has already been a monumental year for the East Tennessee native. Just a few months ago, Chesney stood in the very same building celebrating his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Now, fans can experience a career-spanning exhibit that celebrates the moments that shaped his career.
Located just down the hall from the museum’s iconic rotunda, the exhibit gives fans a front-row seat to Chesney’s journey, from his childhood in East Tennessee and college years to his early days chasing a dream in Nashville. It also highlights his record-breaking stadium tours and the unforgettable live experiences he’s created for his legion of fans who proudly call themselves No Shoes Nation.
After touring the exhibit, Chesney joined his team, family, friends, and members of the music industry for a reception celebrating its opening, where he took a moment to reflect on what the experience meant to him.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young welcomed guests before introducing Chesney to the stage, applauding the superstar’s hands-on approach to every aspect of his career.
“Kenny Chesney may be a hillbilly rockstar, but he’s always in control,” Young pointed out. “His is the kind of spirit that combines exceptional musical talent and insatiable creativity, mixes them with a tried and true work ethic and inexhaustible drive and realizes a benchmark country music career like the world has seldom seen.”
Upon taking the stage, the “Carry On” singer admitted it felt a bit “strange” to see his life and career displayed behind glass, but he also shared how proud he was of the finished exhibit and how grateful he felt to have had the opportunity to create it alongside the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Like everything he takes on, Chesney approached the exhibit with the same dedication that has defined his career. He was deeply involved in the creative process, helping curate the artifacts and stories that bring his journey to life. After seeing it all come together, Chesney said what stood out most wasn’t a particular award, accomplishment, or milestone, it was remembering the incredible amount of fun he’s shared with his band and crew since they first hit the road together in November 1993.
“It’s really interesting to see your life laid out like that, like this, because I lived it once, but to see it again is really strange. But I’m very proud of it. The thing that I saw when I first walked in, and I see a lot of my band and crew here tonight, is the amount of fun that we’ve had. I went on the road, I can’t even believe I’m saying this. I went on the road the first time in November of 1993. It’s crazy to think about. And we are having just as much fun today as we did then. Just ask my band,” he said with a laugh.
“We all went to Maui last week for a video shoot and that was a lot of fun being had. So I’m really proud of that because music is supposed to be fun. And I truly believe that to go out there on stage every night and give energy and get that energy back is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. And the fact that we get to do that at the level that we’re doing it is one of, I think I speak for all my band and crew here. It’s one of the highlights. It is the highlight of my life. And to stand here in front of you guys tonight and to see all that displayed, all the color, all the energy, all the love that you’re going to see in this exhibit is everything that we have lived for 30 something years. And I’m very proud of it.”
Chesney thanked the people in the room who have supported him since the beginning. Before wrapping up his remarks, he once again reflected on the joy of life on the road and expressed his gratitude for everyone who has been part of the ride.
“I keep going back to it, but you get to see exactly how much fun we have had over the years on the road. And that is a lot of fun. Back before phones, it was great,’ He laughed. “But we’ve still found a way to have an absolute blast out there and to take what God has given us, which is the gift of music and creativity and spread that and share that with the world. And that has been one of the biggest gifts of my life. And the fact that you guys are here to see it and be a part of it, I really appreciate it.”
Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward is now open at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The career-spanning exhibit is included with regular museum admission and will remain on display through June 2027, giving fans nearly a year to explore Chesney’s journey.
