Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line sent fans into a frenzy when they reunited on stage for the first time in over four years during Country Radio Seminar at Jason Aldean’s surprise 31st No. 1 party.
The moment came as Kelley and Hubbard took the stage to perform Aldean’s chart-topping hit “You Make It Easy,” which they co-wrote alongside Morgan Wallen and Jordan Schmidt. As they stepped up to the mic, Hubbard reflected on the moment, telling the crowd, “Man, it feels good to be here tonight. It feels good to be here with my brother.”
Inside a room packed with industry execs, radio programmers, on-air talent, and media, the duo seamlessly slipped back into their groove, trading lines and harmonizing like no time had passed.
The performance marked their first time sharing a stage since August 31, 2022, when they played their final show together at the Minnesota State Fair. It also follows a series of recent moments that have sparked speculation that something could be brewing between them.
In recent months, Kelley and Hubbard have been spotted spending time together, including a hang in Nashville and a trip to Colorado with their wives, Brittney Kelley and Hayley Hubbard. According to Hayley’s social posts, the group hit the slopes and enjoyed some downtime together at a mountain resort.
Recapping the trip, Hayley shared, God has been moving mountains and answering prayers out here 🏔️ Incredibly grateful for the gift of time well spent together, the way God has truly been working in all of our lives, for healing, redemption, and some good old-fashioned fun and laser tag.”
She later added a Bible verse about trust and faith, hinting at the deeper meaning behind their time together.
The reunion buzz first started building when the duo was photographed together at the CMA Awards last fall, their first photo together in years.
Not long after, Hubbard opened up about their relationship on the Human School Podcast, admitting, “I hadn’t spoken to BK a lot in the last couple of years, but we’re going on a hike next week, so the way I see it is, I have a desire for that friendship,” Hubbard said of Kelley, with whom he recently reunited at the 2025 CMA Awards. “I miss the guy I was partners with for 10 years. I miss my old roommate, my best man at my wedding, and if nothing else, we should have a relationship.”
It’s safe to say that reconnection has only grown stronger since then, and fans are definitely taking notice.
Comments on our video of the surprise moment say it all:
“SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP 😍🥹”
“So happy to see this 🙌”
“The world is healing again!!!! ❤️”
“DROP THE TOUR DATES!!! 😂”
“We ALL need some FGL 🥰”
While some may still be unsure about a full reunion, it’s hard to ignore the impact Florida Georgia Line has had on the genre, not to mention their reputation for delivering an unforgettable live show.
So, could this be the start of a comeback? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear: fans are more than ready.
In the meantime, both artists are staying busy with solo work. Kelley recently dropped “Queen of 30A,” while Hubbard teamed up with Nate Smith on “After Midnight.”

It seems like Taylor Frankie Paul’s bad days have just begun.
Things spiraled out of control after Dakota accused her of attacking him recently.
Then the world saw that awful 2023 video.
Now there is new footage from that year — police bodycam from after that harrowing fight.
2023 bodycam footage shows a new side to things
TMZ has obtained and released clips of bodycam footage from 2023, when police visited Dakota and Taylor’s home and arrested her.
First, the police separated the two, who were still screaming at each other.
Taylor appears to be struggling, stumbling as she walks, even breaking down sobbing while trying to pour herself some water.
Dakota claims to the officers that “she’s not doing okay.”
He then claimed: “I can’t even tell you the stuff that’s happened to me.” He showed police apparent injuries.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Newly released police bodycam footage obtained by TMZ from Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2023 arrest reveals even more chaos from that night — including Dakota Mortensen pleading with cops to take him to jail instead.

Officers had quickly decided that they believed Taylor to be the primary aggressor.
Even so, Dakota tells officers that he wants them to take him in, not Taylor.
The police explain to him that they believe that being arrested will help her to realize how serious this is.
“I truly just want her to get help,” Dakota claims to the law enforcement officers.
There are multiple takes on this bad situation. Dakota’s line there is both what a victim and an abuser might say in that situation.
🚨 Taylor Frankie Paul had another visit from cops a week after her violent 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen … body cam footage shows officers coming back to the home to take one of her barstools as evidence.

Every detail is so upsetting
Another piece of footage shows one of Taylor’s children watching from within the home, seeing her placed in handcuffs.
Her parents arrive at the house to watch over her kids while she’s in custody.
Police place her in the back of a police car and haul her away.
A separate clip shows police speaking to Dakota about a metal bar stool that Taylor threw at him.
He says that it ricocheted to hit her kid, who was sitting on the couch. But it had some help — as Dakota admits that he deflected the object.
🚨 Dakota Mortensen had a lot to say about his 2023 fight with Taylor Frankie Paul in a phone call with cops … recalling the moment she threw a barstool that allegedly hit her child and answering questions about her urinating on herself.

Police also spoke to Dakota about an alleged incident when Taylor urinated on herself during a car ride.
According to him, Taylor was intoxicated on a long drive home, and asked him repeatedly to pull over so that she could relieve herself.
Dakota said she couldn’t wait, and opened the door to urinate by the side of the road.
Not to give too much credit to the police, but even they brought up how domestic violence victims will sometimes urinate on themselves.
Dakota, however, claimed that it was simply a matter of Taylor having too much to drink.
This scandal has exploded
The harrowing incident was not news to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers. It was covered at the start of the franchise.
However, the release of the shocking video was news to most of the Bachelor Nation.
There is speculation that Dakota’s aim was to sabotage Taylor’s season of the reality show — and that it worked.
ABC pulled the entire, finished season of the reality dating competition, mere days before the premiere date.
Taylor’s 3-year probation runs out in August of this year. But her reality TV career may end sooner than that.

When Kendra Caldwell was arrested on child endangerment charges last week, her mother-in-law, Michelle Duggar, bailed her out of jail just a few hours later.
And it seems that on the way home, Michelle was followed by some members of the press, which makes sense, as her son, Joseph Duggar, was arrested earlier in the week.
This is turning into another massive Duggar scandal, but rather than tend to the problems within her own family, Michelle would apparently rather lash out at the media.
Yes, an independent journalist posted a TikTok in which Michelle approaches his car with her phone out and proceeds to absolutely lose her sh-t.
“You cannot be here!” Michelle can be heard screaming at the man, who uses the TikTok handle Shabba.
“You are interfering with children Shame on you!”
When the man rather calmly points out that Joseph and Kendra were both arrested for “interfering” with children, Michelle becomes even more upset.
“None of your business!” she shouts, still recording the altercation with her phone, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear.
The photographer (who mistakenly thought that Kendra was Michelle’s offspring while Joe was her son-in-law) told Michelle that Joseph “was doing something way worse.”
“NO!” Michelle yells back. “You don’t have the right to be here!”
The man does his journalistic duty by asking what Joseph and Kendra have been up to, and this really sets Michelle off.
“You will go! You will not ask me anything! You will have to talk to someone else!” Michelle says. “Shame on you!”
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Shabba stated in a comment that he was on a public road at the time of the altercation.
So Michelle didn’t really have the authority to tell the man to keep moving.
Whatever the case, the activities of some paparazzi should be the least of the matriarch’s concerns these days.
She may have been able to bail Kendra out of jail, but it seems that Joseph is still behind bars.
Kendra was charged with child endangerment and false imprisonment, reportedly for locking her kids inside their bedrooms.
Joe is facing much more serious charges, including lewd and lascivious behavior– molestation of a victim less than 12 years old, as well as a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.
The charges stem from a recent “forensic interview,” in which the alleged victim, now 14, claimed that Joe molested her during a trip to Florida in 2020.
This, of course, is not the first time that the Duggars have been embroiled in a child molestation scandal.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

A sheen of oil spreads into Prince William Sound from the grounded Exxon Valdez tanker on March 24, 1989. In the decades since the spill, which was the nation’s worst until the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, regulators and scientists have monitored the oil that remains buried on some of the beaches.

Thirty-seven years ago the Exxon Valdez tanker grounded in Prince William Sound and spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil in what was for decades the nation’s worst oil spill. Now, state environmental officials are proposing to remove some of the spill sites from a list of polluted waters.
Of the more than 1,300 miles of coastline fouled by the spill, there are now 11 sites where lingering oil is too degraded, too deeply embedded and too immobile to pose any more water quality problems, according to analysis performed for the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
The department is proposing to remove “impaired” designations from 11 spill-affected sites in its 2026 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report, a tally required under the federal Clean Water Act.
Among the sites that may be reclassified are some that became famous for the thick coating of spilled oil they received in the immediate aftermath of the tanker’s grounding. They include Sleepy Bay on Latouche Island and Bay of Isles and Herring Bay on Knight Island.
Impaired water body lists, which identify sites that fail to meet water quality standards, are required by federal law of all states every two years.
For Alaska, the assessment of whether specific locations affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill should still be on the list depends on whether they met state and federal water quality standards, according to the DEC.
“Just as water near a permitted sewage outfall may have pollutants present but remain in ‘attainment’ because it meets strict safety and environmental thresholds, some EVOS beaches may still contain traces of lingering oil while now meeting the legal standards for water quality,” a department statement said.
The draft proposes moving the 11 sites from Category 4b, used for sites that are impaired but have recovery plans in place, to Category 2, used for sites where water quality standards have been attained for at least one designated use.
The state agency’s draft 2026 list also contains another change: a consolidation of sites with lingering oil.
Two years ago, the state’s impaired water body list identified 36 such sites. As of now, the department has merged some of those, leaving a total of 16 sites.
Five of those sites are still considered impaired at the Category 4 level, under the draft list. Those sites are on Smith Island, Knight Island, Eleanor Island and Green Island, and altogether they account for a little under 16 miles of coastline, according to the DEC.
The lingering oil is a reminder of the environmental damage wreaked by the Exxon Valdez disaster and the difficulties encountered in the response to it.
Despite a massive cleanup effort, only about 10% of the spilled oil that fouled waters and beaches was ever recovered, according to the DEC.
Lingering oil posed environmental problems for several years after that, according to the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, the federal and state organization that administers the funds paid by Exxon to settle government damage claims. Lingering oil leaching out from beach sites slowed the recovery of some species for more than two decades, including sea otters, and some research indicates that long-term impacts from lingering oil were as bad or worse than the initial acute impacts of the spill, according to the trustee council.
As of 2007, after years of weathering and degradation, an estimated 23,000 gallons of spilled oil remained on the beaches. That is about 0.2% of the original spill volume, according to the trustee council. A follow-up survey in 2015 revealed no significant change in that amount, according to the council.
Alaska’s draft 2026 impaired water body list is subject to public review, with comments accepted through April 6. After comments are analyzed, a final list will be produced and sent to the Environmental Protection Agency, DEC said.
The Exxon Valdez sites make up just part of the state’s draft impaired water body list, which includes numerous recommendations for category changes. Impaired water bodies have been identified in places stretching from Interior Alaska to the Aleutians and the southern tip of Southeast Alaska.
Some of those sites have been designated as Category 5, used for water bodies with the worst pollution problems. There were 20 such sites on DEC’s 2024 list, with fecal coliform affecting 13 of them.
The draft 2026 list proposes moving two of those sites, the Katlian River near Sitka and the Little Susitna River in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, to Category 2 after there were improvements in their turbidity measurements. The draft also proposes moving a different site, Ketchikan Creek, to Category 5 because of fecal coliform problems.
