Kane Brown Hints at Releasing ‘Interpolation’ Of Shania Twain Hit This Summer

Kane Brown has revealed he may be releasing his take on a country music classic this summer.

During an interview at the iHeartCountry Festival 2026, the country superstar was asked, “If you could release any cover song what would it be?” After taking a moment to think about his answer, Brown landed on a Shania Twain hit from 1995. But instead of just naming a dream pick, he hinted that his version could actually be recorded and released as soon as this summer.

“So I got a song sent to me and it was a, I guess an interpolation, is what you call it, but it was of ‘Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under’ and it’s fire and I thought about cutting it and releasing it for this summer. So we’ll see. Pretty cool though,” he teased.

It’s not surprising that Brown would be interested in tapping into a classic from Twin’s catalog because he has made it very clear over the years that he is a big fan of the superstar and has made multiple claims that he is interested in teaming up for a duet.

Back in 2020, he told ET Canada that the “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” singer is a dream collaboration of his. Around that time had been branching outside of country music to cut music with artists like Marshmello, John Legend, Swae Lee and more, but the country icon still remained in the back of his mind.

“I think I’m gonna have to go for like uh…Shania Twain. Ya know? ‘Cause we’ve done so many pop collabs recently I think I want some country collabs to complete this mixtape,” Brown shared.

Brown’s dream seemed to be close to becoming a reality as his interview caught Twain’s attention shortly after he made the statement.

“Let’s do it,” she responded on X.

A few years later in 2023, the “Woman” singer once again brought Twain’s name into the conversation, this time crediting her for being a female act who influenced him.

“My mom was a huge fan of hers, so I’ve grown up listening to all her music and I actually met her one time and I talked about doing a song with her,” he recalled, according to 104.9 Max Country. “So, it’d be cool if we got to do it. But yeah, she influenced me the most as a female.”

Unfortunately, fans have still yet to see the two get in the studio together.

The two artists will, however, be in the same place at the same time in about two weeks at the 61st ACM Awards. Shania Twain will be hosting the show, taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, May 17, while Brown will take the stage to perform.

The star-studded night will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT.

Along with the award show, Kane Brown has plenty of shows and festival appearances on the books for 2026. A complete list of dates can be found on his official website.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: Which Players Deserve More Attention?

If the season ended today, the National League batting title would not belong to Trea Turner as it did last year or Luis Arraez as it did for the two years prior. Nope, it’s Ildemaro Vargas — yes, Ildemaro Vargas — who leads all of Major League Baseball in batting average. And it’s not particularly close. If you weren’t already, it’s time to pay attention to the Diamondbacks infielder, who entered this year worth 1.8 wins above replacement over his first nine big-league seasons with a career .646 OPS. This year, the 34-year-old is already worth 1.5 bWAR. Vargas leads MLB with a .382 batting average and the National League with a 1.063 OPS, a number that trails only Ben Rice and Yordan Alvarez for the best mark among all qualified MLB hitters. He also just completed a 27-game hitting streak that was the longest in MLB since Turner’s 27-gamer ended in April 2022. In a nod to Vargas’ extraordinary start, this week’s power rankings include one player from every team who deserves more attention. (Sorry for the Arizona spoiler.) The White Sox occupied the bottom spot in these rankings for a bit, so getting swept by them is a good way to swap positions. At least the Angels always have a chance when José Soriano is on the mound. He leads MLB with a 0.84 ERA through seven starts. Yes, Nolan McLean is the most valuable pitcher on the team. But veteran Clay Holmes leads the team in innings pitched and has the fourth-lowest ERA (1.69) among all qualified MLB pitchers. This is not the same version of Antonio Senzatela that you might remember. After posting a 6.65 ERA with an 11.8% strikeout rate as a starter last year, the Rockies have changed the veteran right-hander’s fastball usage (a lot more cutter and sinker, a lot less four-seamer) in a relief role and have now seen him post a 1.21 ERA while more than doubling his strikeout rate. A league-average batter last year, 27-year-old Casey Schmitt has been the best hitter on the Giants this year. That also says something about the rest of a San Francisco lineup that has scored the fewest runs in MLB. Not being able to score or hold leads is the kind of rough combination that can lead to a six-game skid. Among MLB hitters with at least 95 plate appearances this year, Austin Martin has by far the best on-base percentage as well as the third-highest walk rate behind only Mike Trout and Nick Kurtz. After a couple of wins to start the Chad Tracy era, the Red Sox are back to demonstrating that they’re still not a very good team right now. But in a year of turmoil, the decision to trade for Willson Contreras looks like a prudent one. He leads the team in homers, RBI, slugging and OPS and has been one of the most valuable first basemen in MLB at a position that has given the Red Sox trouble for years. Most importantly, Christian Walker seems OK after getting hit in the head by a pitch over the weekend. He also happens to be the team’s second-best hitter on the Astros this year behind Yordan Alvarez and one of the most valuable first basemen in MLB. This is more like what Houston envisioned when it gave him a three-year, $60 million deal before last season. With Munetaka Murakami leading the league in home runs, Colson Montgomery might be flying under the radar. After hitting 21 home runs in just 255 at-bats last year, Montgomery has another nine this season while ranking third defensively among all qualified MLB shortstops in outs above average. On a pitching staff that leaves a lot to be desired, Foster Griffin is performing well. After spending the last three years in Japan, Griffin is back in the big leagues with a 2.27 ERA that ranks 10th among all MLB starters. The Nationals starter has a fastball in the low 90s, but he features three different versions of the pitch among a diverse arsenal. He has mixed well enough to hold his opponents to two earned runs or fewer in five of his seven starts. The Don Mattingly Phillies are 5-1 after Jesus Luzardo struck out 10 on Sunday. After allowing nine runs (eight earned) against the Cubs on April 15, Luzardo has a 1.50 ERA with 21 strikeouts and four walks over his last three starts. His expected ERA (3.25) is almost two runs better than his actual ERA (5.09), and the underlying numbers would suggest better days ahead. At 36, Seth Lugo is still getting it done. He has a 2.68 ERA on the year, and that includes a seven-run clunker against the Angels last month. In his other six starts, he has a 1.45 ERA. Lugo’s six innings of two-run ball this weekend was part of a Royals sweep in Seattle. It was a bad weekend in New York for Adley Rutschman (and the rest of the Orioles roster), but he had an OPS over 1.000 going into the series against the Yankees and has the highest hard-hit rate of his career. Really encouraging stuff after his offensive struggles the last two years. It’s time more people know about Otto Lopez. The 27-year-old is tied for the MLB lead in hits (45) and has the highest batting average (.341) and third-highest slugging percentage (.500) among all qualified shortstops. In a year in which the Rangers desperately need some of their talents in their 20s to take a leap forward, Josh Jung is doing his part. He’s on a 12-game hitting streak and has an OPS over 1.000 since the start of April.  Jung leads all qualified A.L. third basemen in every slash-line category, and strong underlying numbers back up his .916 OPS. After a slow start to the year in his transition from NPB, Kazuma Okamoto has a 1.169 OPS over his last 11 games with six home runs over the span. He homered four times this weekend against the Twins and is suddenly hitting 15% better than league average. Okamoto leads all MLB third basemen in RBI (22) and is tied for first at the position in home runs (nine). While Bryan Woo (4.61), Logan Gilbert (4.03) and Luis Castillo (6.29) all surprisingly have ERAs over 4.00, Emerson Hancock leads the Mariners rotation with a 2.59 ERA and just struck out a career-high 14 batters this weekend in Kansas City, though his work didn’t prevent a Royals sweep. Hancock, who has 46 strikeouts and six walks this year, has the second-best strikeout-to-walk ratio among all qualified MLB pitchers. Scroll back up to the top for Vargas. He was never even a league-average hitter in any of his first nine MLB seasons, and now he’s the best hitter in the league through a month of Year 10. One of the stories of the year for a Diamondbacks team that otherwise is not yet hitting to its potential. A third-round pick by the Mets in 2018, Carlos Cortes was let go at the end of the 2024 season and picked up by the Athletics on a minor-league deal. He now has an OPS over 1.000 in a limited sample this year. Among all MLB hitters with at least 80 plate appearances, the diminutive outfielder ranks first in batting average and has the fourth-lowest strikeout rate. He doesn’t chase, he doesn’t whiff, and he hits the ball with force. That’s a fruitful concoction. Top prospects Chase DeLauter and Travis Bazzana have both arrived to give the Guardians offense a lift, but they’re not alone. Daniel Schneemann, who had a .636 OPS last year, has an .890 OPS this season while also providing elite defense. He has been one of the most valuable players on the Cleveland roster this year. The American League Rookie of the Year race will be a fascinating one to watch. Murakami leads the majors in homers, Okamoto is heating up, and DeLauter and Parker Messick are both starring in Cleveland. But Kevin McGonigle might still have the inside track. At 21, the Detroit phenom already ranks first in on-base percentage, second in batting average and third in OPS among all qualified MLB shortstops. Four of the five pitchers who have started a game for the Reds this year have ERAs over 5.00. Then there’s Chase Burns (3-1, 2.20 ERA). Impossible to overstate what the 23-year-old has meant for this Cincinnati rotation, which has been without Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo to this point. The Pirates bounced back from a four-game sweep in St. Louis by turning around and sweeping Cincinnati while outscoring the Reds by 19 runs over three games. Oneil Cruz tallied his 11th stolen base of the year on Sunday and is on a 40-50 pace. Congrats, Milwaukee. Because I get to make the rules, you get both a hitter and a pitcher here. Brice Turang just generally deserves more attention for being one of the best second basemen in MLB. The former Platinum Glove Award winner has an OPS over .900 and ranks fourth in MLB in on-base percentage and top 10 in fWAR among all qualified position players. Meanwhile, on the mound, Jacob Misiorowski ranks 44th in MLB in innings pitched yet leads the majors in strikeouts. It has officially all come together for Jordan Walker, the 2020 first-round pick who entered this year with a career .680 OPS and currently ranks 10th in MLB with a .964 OPS. It is also coming together overall for Chaim Bloom’s Cardinals, who followed a four-game sweep of the Pirates by winning a series against the Dodgers. For a rebuilding squad, the Cardinals are better than anybody would have projected. The $280 million contract will always loom over him, but Xander Bogaerts has been the best hitter in a San Diego lineup that’s still waiting for Fernando Tatis Jr. to hit his first home run of the season. The Padres have jumped out to their strong start despite an offense that ranks 25th in OPS, so Bogaerts’ stability at the plate has helped. Veteran Nick Martinez was available for anyone to sign entering February. Right before spring training, he agreed to a one-year, $13 million in Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old has proceeded to rank fifth among all qualified MLB starters with a 1.70 ERA. Credit to the Rays. We figured their pitching would keep them competitive, but this seemed likely to be a rebuilding year. Instead, they have the second-most wins in the American League. Shota Imanaga ranks in the top five among all qualified MLB pitchers in both WHIP (0.85) and opponents’ average (.169). Imanaga has gone at least six innings and allowed one or no runs in four of his last five starts. He ranks second among qualified starters in chase rate and is providing vital innings for a Cubs pitching staff missing a ton of pieces. The L.A. lineup has gone cold, scoring 11 runs over the last five games, but Justin Wrobleski stopped the Dodgers’ four-game skid on Sunday in St. Louis with six shutout innings. Wrobleski only has 15 strikeouts in 36 innings this year, but the Dodgers’ sixth starter has continually missed barrels. In his five starts this season, he is 5-0 with a 0.56 ERA. This is clearly the best team in the American League, and it helps having arguably the best hitter and pitcher in MLB to this point. While Ben Rice leads baseball in OPS, wRC+ and fWAR, Cam Schlittler ranks first among starters in WHIP, fWAR and K/BB and has a 0.45 ERA over his last three starts. After back-to-back down years offensively, Ozzie Albies is in the midst of the best offensive season of his career. He’s tied with Shea Langeliers, Otto Lopez and teammate Drake Baldwin for the MLB lead in hits and also leads all qualified second basemen in slugging and OPS. Albies is on an Atlanta team that leads MLB in OPS and now leads these power rankings for the first time this year.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Country Next: Ethan Garner

Ethan Garner is back with new music, returning with his second single, “Messed Up Over You.” This marks the latest step in a fast-building career that’s already taken the rising star from Georgia Southern University to Nashville, where a viral cover helped open the door to his dreams.

Garner’s path started quietly, between college classes and moments of writing and performing just for fun. But even as he pursued a degree in business, music never really left the back of his mind. This eventually turned into leap of faith, one that led him to chasing a full-time career in country music.

That decision to head to Nashville a little over a year ago quickly proved to be a turning point in his life. Garner found himself with new opportunities beyond what he ever could have imagined, including a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music before even releasing his own music. He later signed with WME for booking and RECORDS Nashville/RCA for his record deal.

Fans got to hear the 23-year-old Georgia native’s timeless storytelling and pop country sound come to life first on his debut single “Red Wine Stains” and now on his latest release, “Messed Up Over You.” Written by Jamie McLaughlin, Matt Warren, and Dave Pahanish, and produced by Brett Truitt, the new track finds him leaning into the complicated emotions and uncertainty that come with a relationship, capturing both the highs of love and the inner doubts that can come with it.

Keep reading to get to know Ethan Garner in our exclusive Q&A, and learn more about the path that led him to Nashville, his musical influences, and the songs shaping his sound.

What kind of music did you grow up hearing around the house, and how did that shape your love for it?

When I was growing up, my dad, he was singing in churches, leading worship. He came to Nashville and he even kind of recorded an album. We’ve got a bunch of CD’s of it. He hates when we play it around him, but it’s pretty banger stuff. But yeah, so he always has been very musical and great singer. And he even would dress up as Elvis and come to my family Christmas party. So I kind of grew up with that. My whole family has energy like that. But anyway, so I would always sing in the car. The song my mom always references is “When I was Your Man” by Bruno Mars. I would just be belting in the car and all kinds of songs. I grew up with a lot of classic music, like The Eagles. I love Bob Marley. He’s my favorite. Elvis, Beatles…a lot of country guys, Luke Bryan, the classic Georgia guys.

At what point did you realize that you really had a talent for singing?

I think my dad always just kind of, I felt like he was A&Ring me, but in a supportive way. He’d be like, “You got to sing, try to use your vibrato right here.” And just was kind of teaching me how to do it and taught me some guitar chords. And then my junior, senior year of high school, I always enjoyed singing and my parents always told me I could. And I had a couple buddies tell me the same thing, but I remember I was singing at lunch. It was like a field day… I was singing “Tennessee Whiskey” and my friend was playing the guitar and people had videoed it. And the two drama teachers at my high school, I was in the English class in the back and through just the small little tiny windows on a classroom door, I just see both of their faces in it, squeezed up against it. And they were like waving me to come out there. And I was like, “Me?” So I walked out there and they were like, “Okay, so follow us.” And I was like, alright. So I followed them to their office. I’d never been to the drama office. It was cool in there. And they said, “We want you to audition for the play.” And I was like, “no, I’m not going to do that, but thank you for the offer.” And looking back, I probably would’ve done it just because why not? That’d be cool. It’d be funny. But I thought I was too cool for school probably or something. I don’t know. So I didn’t do it. There was kind of affirmations along the way like that.

When did songwriting come into play for you?

So I would always freestyle in the locker room for fun, freestyle rap. My buddies would say that, but songwriting genuinely, probably my freshman year of college, I started dabbling. Yeah, I wrote this really silly song called “Outdoor Symphony” or something, and all my friends knew the words. That was fun. But yeah, so freshman year was kind of when I opened up that journey. 

What did those dreams start to look like once you got to Georgia Southern University?

I joined Sigma Chi and I started playing guitar at the bars. I was like, “You know what? I’m not doing sports anymore. This is fun.” So I played as hard at the bar, all the Statesboro bars, same bars that Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Dylan Marlowe, a lot of guys came up from Statesboro, Gavin Addcock, I’m good buddies with him…Didn’t have any music out there, but I knew that, I mean, social media is a great asset now. In my mind though, I was just like, “Well, I need to be in Nashville if meetings happen.” So I didn’t really get the bug till my sophomore year of college I got to open up for Gavin. And I, again, didn’t have any originals really, but that was really cool. And just seeing Gavin make it, and I was a Sigma Chi, the same as Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell. It just felt achievable. I just felt led to visit Nashville.

Even though you went into college to pursue business, was music always in the back of your mind? Was there ever a backup plan?

I feel like I always had an intuition and in the back of my mind, whenever I would listen to music, I would just always imagine myself performing and being in studios. I just was so fascinated by all of that. I love the lifestyle of a recording artist, being in a recording studio, being on a bus, just that whole lifestyle I sort of romanticized always as a fan, but I also just saw myself doing it. So even though I was studying business at Georgia Southern, and I probably feel like I would be okay at sales or something. I really didn’t know what I was going to do, but it was something in business, probably not a finance bro but something where I can talk to people and maybe travel a little.

Talk about how you navigated that transition period from Georgia to Nashville.

I was partying a lot at Georgia Southern and then I got an opportunity to go on a mission trip to Panama Central America for a week and it was really moving for me and just what I needed in that transition phase and got really close with the Lord and we just spread the gospel every day for a week straight. And we would set up water filters for those people that didn’t have water. So being out there just isolated in a way with the Lord was really cool and such a unique experience. And then after that trip, a smaller group was going to go to Thailand for a month and a half, 35 weeks. So I went and did that right before I moved to Nashville. So I lived in Thailand that summer, and after that, hit the ground running.

What were those first few months in Music City like for you? How did you get your foot in the door there?

I was told I need a music business internship to be a music business student. I transferred into Belmont my junior year. And so I called my friends over at River House, Zebb [Luster] over there, and I was like, “Hey, Zebb, I need an internship.” And he was like, “Boy, shut up and start posting on TikTok. Better start singing.” And I was like, “Okay, Zebb, I will do that. ” So I started posting some stuff and just out of nowhere, I had this Katy Perry cover go, I think it did close to a million or something, and I’d never had that happen. That was when I met my awesome manager, Matt Musacchio. And I had a couple of DMs from people, management and some people over at Warner and just so many great people. The day I met Matt, who was my first meeting, I think this was two months into Nashville, he was like, “Alright, I want you to follow me over to Big Yellow Dog to meet this publisher.” And I had never even, I thought I knew what a publishing company was. I really had no clue.

I walk up in there with Matt, I just met him about an hour ago and sat down with Carla Wallace over there, and I played her three songs I had written that were garbage probably. And she was like, “Well, I’m going to sign you.” She said, “Let me get your phone number.” And I said, “Okay.” And I was sitting right next to her, and then she just texted me. She said, “I want to sign you.a” And I was like, “No way.” And Carla is amazing. So I’m so thankful for her and Matt. That’s the core of everything that we’ve gotten to do so far, so super thankful for that team.

Getting signed before even releasing music is a very impressive feat. How were you feeling in that moment?

It was crazy, especially songwriting-wise for publishing. I think it was exactly what I needed though, because I spent my whole first year here just writing every single day. So it helped me develop a lot in that way and start developing a sound and building that catalog. 

Like you mentioned, you opened for Gavin Adcock. What did you take away from watching him on the road?

In the early days, I mean, he was just playing the Statesboro bars all the time. I really asked advice for him….He’s so good at his social media, his fanbase, I mean, he knows how to really build an audience, and that’s why they all love him so much. And they show up, he ready to go because he’s just good at it. So I’ve always looked up to him in that way. I feel like he’s really smart and he’s really funny on the stage and he’s real rowdy, but he’s really a genuine, very loyal person, I feel like, from the time I’ve been around him. But yeah, that was cool. And then got to open for Travis Denning last year, I guess last January. And we’ve actually been writing a lot of songs together recently and he’s been a great mentor too, so he’s had a lot of good advice as well. 

Talk about writing “Red Wine Stains” and why it was the right choice for your debut single?

Well, I wrote it with two people that I work with a lot who I’m really good friends with too. So that was cool, Cecelia Castleman and Daniel Hashing. I’m actually in his house right now, but yeah, it was fun. Just writing with him, he’s got this screened in porch and it just feels very grounding from being in some office building, just jamming out on a song. He’s got this whole strategy where you walk in, we’ll have just guitars or just piano, and we will sit down in the kitchen or on the porch and we’ll write the song. He’ll type it all out and he’ll go print it off and come back with a lyric sheet, and then we’ll go into his recording studio after we’ve already written it…I think I just got out of relationship and my personality’s very much like, I don’t love having bad blood with anybody. I just think it can be resolved. It’s just kind of my mindset around it. So I think it’s just playful. My personality in that song I feel like shows, even though we might’ve ended things like that chorus, you know ‘I missed the way your lips taste when I talk in the dark,’ it’s kind of this whole playful energy about it. So I think it’s just, I try not to take myself too seriously or when the time is needed, I feel like it’s good to be serious, but in terms of things like that, that song is just this fun, a relatable feeling. It’s okay to miss somebody after you end things, but yeah, I just love the playful energy in it. 

You just dropped “Messed Up Over You” which offers a sadder take on heartbreak. What led you to want to record this outside cut?

Very sad. I think sometimes in my songwriting, I can write fun songs all day long, but my publisher challenges me to, she says, “Be more vulnerable and talk about yourself.” I was like, “Okay.” So the song shown to my A&R guy over at record, Joe Fisher, and he texted me and Matt, my manager, and was like, “check this out. ” And so we both listened pretty quickly after he sent it and we’re just like, “Okay, yeah, this song is amazing.” So I think it was a great fit for me just vocally and just the way the song is in general, I think really spoke to where I was at out of that relationship. Again, I think someone else writing it makes it more meaningful because I could just really relate to it. But yeah, I think it’s a good perspective on the relationship that I can relate to and that I would say is very true to where I was at, but the fact that someone else wrote, it’s almost like I wouldn’t be able to say it unless the way they said it. So I think it’s cool that I can have the chance to perform that and tell that story through my own way.

What goals do you have for yourself next as you continue on this journey?

Well, I got a pretty intense bucket list. So I’ll tell you for this year, I would love to just get a batch of music and out and that’s where it starts. My main thing, I feel like my dream is to win Entertainer of the Year. I think just my band and I on stage, that’s just I feel like our whole bread and butter. These songs are great, but when we get in front of a crowd, we really know how to engage and just make people have a good time and want to come back. So that’s the goal, just being with them and them being with us, the live performance is my favorite part. But I would say just I want to play shows. I’d love to meet some of these Georgia guys, all these guys I look up to. There’s so many great Georgia artists. I mean, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Kane Brown, Jason Aldean, Megan Moroney, such a great group of people from Georgia. So it’d be cool to just connect with those people. I would love to play a Grand Ole Opry. That’d be a dream. And yeah, just keep diving into this music and getting out there.

Tigers’ Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal to Miss Multiple Months due to Elbow Surgery

The Detroit Tigers are battling for the top spot in the AL Central, but they may have to navigate the rest of the season without the game’s top pitcher. Ace Tarik Skubal is expected to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed. The procedure typically sidelines players for two to three months, according to ESPN. Skubal, who has won the AL Cy Young in each of the last two seasons, was scratched from his scheduled Monday start against the Boston Red Sox prior to the announcement. He had felt pain in his elbow on Sunday, less than a week after an injury scare against the Atlanta Braves, Hinch told reporters on Sunday. He underwent tests shortly after, which revealed the loose bodies. The surgery has not yet been scheduled, but there is no immediate timetable for his return. Skubal, who is set to be a free agent this offseason, has made seven starts this year, posting a 2.70 ERA with 45 strikeouts and six walks over 43.1 innings. His absence leaves a significant hole at the top of Detroit’s rotation as the team pushes for a division title. The injury only adds to a mounting list for the Tigers’ pitching staff, which already includes Justin Verlander, Casey Mize, Jackson Jobe and Reese Olsen. With so many key arms sidelined, Detroit is now piecing together its rotation as it looks to stay in the AL Central race. The Tigers now face the daunting task of sustaining their AL Central push while leaning on a makeshift pitching staff in the short term. Detroit is 18-17 entering Monday’s action, sharing the division lead with the Cleveland Guardians. However, the Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins are all within three games of the Tigers.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
