Personally, I don’t think it’s AI — I think it’s just very Luke Bryan. Out of all his songs, this might be the most “Luke Bryan” song yet and that says a lot, LOL. I’d honestly love to know the writing process behind it. Did he just sit down and list everything he loves doing in a day? Which I’m sure lots of guys can agree with him.

Also this is exactly the kind of song people who don’t listen to country music think all country songs sound like. Pros and cons of that for sure, but we know Luke and we love him for it.

But hey, Luke’s just singing about what he loves: fish, hunt, golf, drink!

Now we’re intrigued to hear what the rest of the album sounds like.

She’s officially become the first female country artist ever to hold the top two spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 Country chart with “Choosing Texas” and “Be Her.”

And she may not be done yet — “I Can’t Love You Anymore” with Morgan Wallen is currently sitting at No. 8, giving her three songs in the Top 10 at the same time.

Will one of them hit No. 1 overall? With two of the hottest names in country music behind it, it feels like only a matter of time.

The show first teased fans with country-themed clues on Instagram — from a cowboy hat to a duck call and even a mustache — very fitting and honestly pretty obvious if you ask us. And the cherry on top? Green seemed to confirm the news himself by liking the post.

He’ll be joining returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine, and we’re sure he’s going to bring an authentic perspective as a successful singer-songwriter. Riley has earned multiple No. 1 hits throughout his career, including “There Was This Girl,” “Worst Way,” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.” With his laid-back personality and real country roots, we’re already excited to see him take a seat in one of those iconic red chairs!

We’re already hoping this means more music from the two— and there’s a good chance it could happen. Morgan recently shared at a show that he’s working on a new album with about 10 songs in the works, so an Ella feature isn’t out of the question.

It taps into that moment when someone walks by smelling incredible and your first thought is: I just wanna BE HER’

The scent itself leans into that feeling. It’s a warm, rich floral blend featuring notes of violet and peony, layered with a bright touch of bergamot. Deeper tones of cashmere woods and salted amber round it out, giving it a soft but confident finish that lingers.

The country star partnered with ‘Noyz’ to bring the vision to life, and according to her, this isn’t a random venture. She’s apparently been wanting to create a perfume for a long time.

We’d like to collectively thank that girl from high school.

Be Her fits neatly into Ella’s growing brand: feminine, a little bold, and rooted in a kind of effortless confidence.

“Next week we all set sail. Don’t be late to the dock. Oh, and by the way, something extra smooth is coming to Nashville one week from today. Clear your calendars. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,”

All signs point to his “Yacht Rock Era,” which he first teased during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville back in March.

“It’s the first time I’ve done an album of covers. There is one original on the record. It’s a thematic record… yacht rock songs,” he said. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding.”

For those unfamiliar with yacht rock, same. But apparently it’s a smooth, laid-back style of soft rock popular in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Whether this project leans fully into that retro sound or adds Urban’s own modern twist remains to be seen—but we won’t have to wait long to find out!
