Stella Lefty is speaking out after quietly canceling her scheduled dates on Tucker Wetmore’s Brunette World Tour.
Over the weekend, Lefty, whose real name is Stella Lefkofsky, took to social media to address her absence from the upcoming shows after previously being announced as an opening act for Wetmore’s tour. While Lefty acknowledged that she would no longer be joining Wetmore on the dates, she did not provide a reason for the change.
Instead, the rising country artist focused her message on apologizing to fans who may have purchased tickets expecting to see her perform and explained that she had initially been advised not to publicly address her absence.
“I just want to apologize to everyone for not announcing sooner that I’m not opening on the Tucker [Wetmore] dates. I love Tucker and I know the shows are going to be amazing. I wanted to announce that earlier but I was advised not to which was a mistake,” she wrote. “I’m so sorry to anyone that bought tickets to see me please send me a DM and we can figure something out.”
Lefty’s message comes as she celebrates the release of her debut album, Long Way Home. The 14-track project features her breakout single “Boston,” which has spent 19 weeks climbing the charts while continuing to gain momentum across both Country and Pop radio.
Lefty continues to build momentum behind “Boston,” recently taking the song to some major stages. She made her late-night television debut performing the track on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before joining Marcus Mumford onstage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden for another performance of the song.
The track also earned Stella Lefty recognition from the MTV Video Music Awards, where “Boston” is nominated for Best Country. Stella herself also picked up a nomination for Best New Artist.
Just days after announcing her departure from Wetmore’s Brunette World Tour, Lefty revealed plans to hit the road on her own, launching her first headlining trek, the Long Way Home Tour.
“I’m so so excited to be back on the road and sing these new songs with you guys in person! Thank you for the love on my debut album (eek) your support means EVERYTHING to me. i love you and i can’t wait to sing and dance soon !!! ILYYYYYYY,” she wrote on social media along with the tour announcement.

Bailey Zimmerman is celebrating another major career milestone as “Chevy Silverado” reaches No. 1 on the Mediabase Country radio chart, marking his sixth career No. 1 at country radio. The country act marked the milestone by taking fans back to where it all began with the release of the song’s official music video, filmed in his hometown.
Directed by Isaac Mason, the video follows Zimmerman as he cruises through the small town of Louisville, Illinois, behind the wheel of the vehicle that inspired the song’s title. The first clip finds the singer/songwriter hugging his mom before grabbing his keys and telling her he is heading out for a drive with his friends.
He opens the garage door to reveal the white Silverado at the center of the song’s story, then to set the scene for the storyline, he takes a glance at a crumpled “sun-bleached Polaroid” of a former love interest and places it on the dashboard. Turning up the radio, “Chevy Silverado” begins blasting through the speakers, serving as the perfect soundtrack as Zimmerman hits the road.
After stopping for gas, he travels down gravel roads to pick up a few friends before the group cruises through Illinois cornfields, singing and enjoying the upbeat tune together. Beneath the feel-good road trip is a story about finally letting go.
Co-written by Zimmerman along with Tucker Beathard, Ilsey Juber, Gavin Lucas, and Heath Warren, the song centers on a young love that got lost along the way. Even though the singer might not have the girl anymore, he still has the truck that holds all the memories of their past relationship. Throughout the song, Zimmerman wrestles with the possibility of getting her back, even imagining that his Silverado could “drive all night” to find her if she asked him to.
“Help me out, tell me how’d your heart get so cold?/ Tell me when did our young love get so old?/ Went from holdin’ on tight to lettin’ me go/ I said I loved you, and I wish you never said it back/ Take the sun-bleached Polaroid off my dash/ I ain’t got the girl in it, but I still have/ This white Chevy Silverado/ And it’ll drive all night to get to you tomorrow,” he delivers on the chorus.
However, as he sings the line “Went from holdin’ on tight to lettin’ me go,” he throws the Polaroid out of the truck window, signaling that he is finally ready to leave that part of his life in the past. With the sun setting over the Illinois countryside, the “Just Believe” singer eventually returns to the same garage where his journey began, but this time with an extra weight off his shoulders.
Upon learning the news that he has added yet another top-charting track to his resume, Zimmerman took to social media to thank everyone who helped him reach this achievement and support the song’s journey.
He wrote, “With this being my 6th number 1 song I wanted to do something special for y’all… soooo “Chevy Silverado” Music Video ft. my mom is out now… I hope yall love it as much as I do❤️Thank y’all for getting this one all the way to the top, you truly have no idea how much it means to me… LOVE YALL FOR REAL🔥🤘”
“Chevy Silverado” was released over a year ago and appeared on his sophomore album, Different Night Same Rodeo, which debuted in the Top 15 of Billboard’s Top 200 All Genre chart and Top 3 of Billboard’s Country Albums chart via Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville.
The multi-platinum country superstar recently wrapped the sold-out North American leg of his debut headlining arena tour, The Different Night Same Rodeo Tour, where he brought his high-energy live show to more than 30 venues across the U.S. and Canada.
Zimmerman was originally set to bring the trek overseas to the UK and Europe but just weeks before launching the run, he canclled every show. He explained that he made the difficult decision so he could remain focused on “important family matters.”
Fans can still catch him finishing out his remaining North American shows through September before stepping away again to “focus on me, my family and new music.”
He is next set to perform at the Washington State Fair on Thursday, September 17.
