Bunnie XO, wife of Jelly Roll and host of the Dumb Blonde Podcast, has announced dates for her 2026 book tour in support of her upcoming memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, set to arrive in February 2026.
The limited run will kick off on February 16 in New York City, followed by stops in Nashville on February 22 and Los Angeles on February 25, before wrapping things up in Las Vegas on February 26.
“From the pages to the stages baby! 🖤 Book tour is officially happening 😭 ,” she wrote in the caption.
Bunnie shared the details vis Instagram alongside a compilation video that showcases videos and photos from her life, giving fans a glimpse into the kind of stories that will unfold throughout the book.
Tickets for the book tour go on sale Wednesday, December 17. Bunnie revealed that a secret code to access to be among the first to access presale tickets will be sent out the morning of the ticket release. She added in the comment section that anyone interested in the early access should immediately head to the website, Www.bunniexo.com, and sign up for notifications.
Stripped Down is expected to offer an unfiltered look at Bunnie’s life, chronicling her journey from a troubled upbringing to the successful entrepreneur, loving parent figure and wife she is today in Nashville. In the memoir, she opens up about leaving high school, years spent living on the streets of Las Vegas, working as a high-end escort, and navigating addiction, trauma, and survival before finding stability, love, and purpose.
Bunnie holds nothing back while diving into real-life stories of the poor choices she mad. Fans will come to know more about her story and who she is not only as Bunnie XO, but also as her original name, Alisa DeFord.
The main message of these stories is redemption, as Bunnie proves that even someone who has hit the lowest of lows can still pull themselves out and turn their life around.
She recently shared a series of her mug shots from ages 19 to 26, acknowledging that seeing these versions of herself brought on some heavy emotions and prompted a moment of reflection.
“The fact that I’m smiling in some of these will let you kno just how disconnected I was from myself & my emotions. I look at those photos now & just want to hug that little girl. She thought surviving meant hyper independence, fighting in the streets, barking loud & biting even harder,” Bunnie admitted.
She continued. “Even when I didn’t deserve it, God kept pulling me out the fire. Every overdose that didn’t take me, every time I inserted myself in harms way. He said, “No, there’s still work for you to do & what’s tea for them will be testimony for you.”
Even knowing all the harm and sadness she experienced during those years, Bunnie claims she is “not ashamed” of the person she sees in those photos as the reminder her of who she used to be and how far she’s come since then.

This Christmas season is a very special one for Lauren Alaina and her husband Cam as it will be their first time getting to celebrate with their baby girl, Beni Doll.
Typically, the couple spends the holiday season traveling across the country to visit family on both sides, as they’re the youngest in their families. But now, with a little one in tow, Alaina says their holiday traditions are going to start to evolve over the next few years.
“In our whole marriage and dating, we traveled to everyone else. And I think this may be our last year to really be able to do that. She’s pretty portable right now. So this will be our last year to continue our traditions that we have done as a couple. And then I think next year we’ll start our own specific traditions for Beni,” she told Country Now during a Pupdate.
The “All My Exes” singer also shared that she’s excited to include her six-month-old in family celebrations that she cherished growing up, like decorating the cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.
“I can’t wait. She’s not going to know what the heck is going on. She’s going to be six months old, but we’re going to make her be a part of it,” Alaina said with a laugh.
After visiting with her family, they will head down to her husband’s family farm for Christmas Day, where the festivities will continue. For Lauren Alaina, the holidays are about more than just decorations and presents, they’re about creating joy and memories with family. Welcoming her own child into the festivities makes this holiday season particularly memorable and full of love.
“I think we’ve talked about maybe starting next year making a new plan and a new tradition for her. She’ll still be pretty young next year, but definitely the next year I think she’ll start knowing what’s going on. So we are not changing a ton this year, but we’re so excited just in general to have her for the holidays because holidays are all about family and love and happiness and that is what a baby is every day.
She joked that along with the excitement also comes a bit of stress as she is now tasked with packing everything they could need for their baby girl, in addition to their own necessities.
“I mean we got to take everything but the kitchen sink for this baby, even though she’s easy to travel with. We have so many things to take,” she joked.
The couple, who will celebrate their second wedding anniversary in February, welcomed their daughter into the world on June 11, 2025 weighing in at 7 lbs 13oz. and measuring 19 inches long. Since then, she has completely transformed their lives, and is poised to make this holiday season one they’ll never forget.
Lauren Alaina already got a small taste of what life looks like on the road with a baby, but they will dive in in full force when she joins Rascal Flatts in resuming their Life Is A Highway Tour in January 2026.

Country music fans tuning into LANDMAN may recognize a familiar face: Audrey McGraw, the daughter of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Audrey McGraw Plays Shelby In LANDMAN
Audrey appears in the hit Paramount+ series as Shelby, a teenager who lives next door to Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) and quickly befriends his daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph).
She first appears in season one, episode five, titled “Where Is Home,” where she’s seen chatting with Ainsley by the pool. The pair later attend parties together at the patch.
According to IMDb, Audrey appears as Shelby in four episodes of LANDMAN so far, with her most recent appearance coming in “The Pirate Dinner,” episode five of season two.
This Marks Her Acting Debut
LANDMAN marks Audrey McGraw’s acting debut, and follows her parents’ starring roles in 1883, which was also created by Taylor Sheridan. LANDMAN stars Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton, alongside Oscar nominees Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, and Sam Elliott, as well as Ali Larter. Additional cast members include Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan, and Colm Feore.
The Taylor Sheridan–co-created series continues to break records. A recent network release revealed that the season two premiere drew more than 9.2 million streaming views in its first two days following its exclusive debut on Paramount+ on November 16. That figure represents a 262% increase over the season one premiere, making it the most-watched original series premiere in Paramount+ history. Earlier this month, Paramount+ also announced that LANDMAN has been renewed for a third season.
At this time, it’s unclear whether Audrey McGraw will return as Shelby in future episodes.
Audrey McGraw’s Music Career
Off screen, Audrey is turning heads as well. She recently took the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during her father’s residency, delivering a powerful cover of Heart’s “Barracuda.” A video captured by Music Mayhem quickly made the rounds online, drawing comparisons to Faith Hill for her commanding vocals.
Audrey McGraw recently toured with Brandi Carlile and shared that she is in the studio recording new music.
Fans can follow Audrey on Instagram for updates.
