Morgan Wallen

Country music and drinking have always had an uncomfortably close relationship.

Fans are buzzing with anticipation as whispers of new music from Morgan Wallen fill the air. What's coming next? A double album, perhaps?

It was the fans who convinced Wallen to stay true to the sound he'd originally chosen.

'We talked it through,' Nate Smith says. '...He's a very forgiving person.'

A billion streams is no small feat, and Dasha's got plans for that Spotify plaque that might surprise you.

Think that only fun, upbeat songs can become crossover hits? Think again.

It turns out the relationship between Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen is more of a brotherhood than anyone realized.

Including three racial slurs, one anti-gay musing and one political statement that by comparison feels minor league to the transgressions around it.

This song is a direct conversation between Wallen and his rural fans.

Can you feel the buzz? Super Bowl halftime shows are heating up again, and there's a new frontrunner in the mix.
