You’ve heard of country bumpkins before, but what about country PUMPKINS? If you google “Country Star Pumpkin Template”, you can find some awesome stenciled pumpkin carving designs of your favorite stars.  What Country star would you want to see on a pumpkin? The good folks over at HGTV always find something cute and festive for every season, but these Country music stencil designs are awesome.  (Especially if you’re like me, and still haven’t carved your pumpkins yet.) And the best part is that the stencil designs are free.  All you have to do is google “Country Star Pumpkin Template” . . . download the image . . . print it out . . . and then use it to help guide you when carving. (You can check out the designs, here.)

Zach Top is, quote, “Not on socials” . . . so it makes sense if he misses the news on occasion.  But it must be strange to find out that you were nominated for a CMA Award because you got a “congratulations” text from a friend. No big deal, Zach is just up for New Artist of the Year against some of the most popular artists out there right now, like:  Megan Moroney . . . Shaboozey . . . Nate Smith . . . Mitchell Tenpenny . . . and Bailey Zimmerman.

Remember the episode of “Friends” where Rachel tries to make a tradition English trifle for Thanksgiving dessert?  She doesn’t realize that the pages are stuck together in her recipe book, and ends up making a half-trifle, half-shepherd’s pie . . . complete with BEEF. Hello Fresh is selling a Rachel Green Trifle Kit this Thanksgiving. The Trifle Kit goes on sale November 4th and costs $34.99. (Here’s that scene from “Friends”.)

Luke Bryan revealed to Joe Rogan the one thing that still surprises him to this day.  He said, “My thing was tight jeans.  You wouldn’t imagine me wearing tight jeans on stage, how much that [ticks] people off.”

This could be a coincidence . . . or NOT a coincidence. Maren Morris and her ex Ryan Hurd BOTH released new singles today.  Maren’s new song is “People Still Show Up“, and Ryan’s is called “This Party Sucks“.  It would be kinda funny if both songs were about their relationship . . . like THEIR side of the story . . . but there’s no indication they are. Interestingly enough, the titles DO work together . . . “This Party Sucks” but “People Still Show Up”.  THAT . . . at least . . . should be a coincidence.
