Tyler Hubbard and Hayley Hubbard marked a decade together by renewing their vows.
“This summer we celebrated 10 years of marriage in the same place we said I do,” Hayley shared on Instagram, along with a collection of photographs. “We renewed our vows, celebrated God‘s faithfulness, laughed, cried, prayed and danced the night away in the mountains we call home.”
The two tied the knot on July 1, 2015, in Sun Valley, Idaho, Hayley’s home state. Tyler, of course, was the Georgia half of Florida Georgia Line.
“God has been so faithful throughout our marriage and our lives in countless ways and we naturally made it the theme of our 10 year celebration,” Hayley’s post goes on. “He continues to weave an incredible story out of wonderful moments and hard moments and has been there through all of the ups and downs of life and marriage and parenting and relationships. Even when we may have wavered and lost focus on Him, He never gives up on us. He has been shaping and sharpening us and I’m forever grateful for the ways he has used our friends and family, and our children to bring about His faithfulness.”
You can glimpse the kids in the wedding photos, as 7-year-old Olivia Hubbard wears a white dress like her mom, and 6-year-old Luca Hubbard and 4-year-old Atlas Hubbard sport cowboy hats like their dad.
You’ll also get a peek at an elaborate seated outdoor dinner, as well as the happy couple laughing while doing some line dancing.

The members of Heart are among the many people excited by the news that Taylor Swift is engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce.
During the band’s concert in Akron, Ohio, Tuesday, Nancy Wilson dedicated the song “These Dreams” to the happy couple. Nancy shared a clip of the moment on her Instagram page, with the caption, “Tonight in Akron I dedicated These Dreams to Travis and Taylor. Love is in the air!!!!”
In the video, Nancy tells the audience, “There’s a dedication I’d like to make to a very romantic couple in popular culture today, you know Travis and Taylor got engaged. So here’s a romantic dedication to Travis and Taylor.”
Ann Wilson also chimed in, making a comment about the ring Travis proposed with.
“These Dreams,” released in 1986, was the third single off Heart’s self-titled eighth studio album. It was the band’s first single to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Heart has a few more dates left on their summer tour, with the next show Wednesday in Allentown, Pennsylvania. They’ll also play Canandaigua and Bethel, New York, on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Lil Wayne was among the many celebrities who took the time to congratulate pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on their engagement.
In fan-captured video from the rapper’s Kansas City show Tuesday night, the cardigan-wearing Wayne told the crowd, “I’m dressed in spirit. The spirit of my man Travis and my girl, you already know, Taylor. Traylor! That’s what we call them. Congratulations.”
Wayne headlined Travis’ music festival, Kelce Jam, last year, though he isn’t a big fan of the Chiefs. Back in January, he accused the team of cheating. “It’s not even impressive when u cheat and then clearly try to cheat,” he wrote on X. “Just win baby.”
Taylor and Travis announced their engagement on Instagram Tuesday, sharing photos of the moment and writing in the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Bon Jovi’s ‘Forever (Legendary Edition)’/Island Records
Bon Jovi has enlisted some of their superstar friends for a new take on their 16th studio album, Forever —Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll among them.
The band is set to release Forever (Legendary Edition) on Oct. 24, which has them collaborating with an A-list lineup of artists to reimagine songs on Forever, which was released in 2024. Guests appearing on the new release include fellow New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Ryan Tedder, AvrilLavigne, Jason Isbell, and James Bay, as well as Lainey and Jelly.
Of course, the rockers previously scored a major country hit with 2006’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” with Jennifer Nettles.
Bon Jovi is set to preview the album on Friday by dropping two songs — the lead-off single, “Red, White and Jersey,” which was not a part of the original album, and a new take on “Hollow Man,” featuring Springsteen.
“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album born out of necessity,” Jon Bon Jovi shares, noting it was made while he was still recovering from vocal cord surgery.
“Without an ability to tour at that time, I continued working in the studio and called on some friends, great singers, artists, musicians and also just great people,” he says. “The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit— a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends.”
Jon adds, “I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE.”
Forever (Legendary Edition) is available for preorder now. Here is the track list: “Red, White and Jersey” “Legendary” (with James Bay) “We Made It Look Easy” (with Robbie Williams) “Living Proof” (with Jelly Roll) “Waves” (with Jason Isbell) “Seeds” (with Ryan Tedder) “Kiss The Bride” (with Billy Falcon) “The People’s House” (with The War & Treaty) “Walls Of Jericho” (with Joe Elliott) “I Wrote You A Song” (with Lainey Wilson) “Living In Paradise” (with Avril Lavigne) “My First Guitar” (with Marcus King) “Hollow Man” (with Bruce Springsteen) “We Made It Look Easy / Hicimos Que Pareciera Fácil” (with Carin León)

That me espresso might not be at the top of the charts this summer, but another Sabrina Carpenter song still reigns supreme.
Spotify has revealed its top five tracks featured in its Songs of Summer list. They include “Manchild” by Carpenter, “Ordinary” by Alex Warren, “back to friends” by sombr, “Love Me Not” by Ravyn Lean and “Shake It to the Max (FLY) – Remix” by MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng and Shenseea.
This marks the second year in a row that the Spotify editorial team has unveiled a list of five songs that defined the season. They determined the top tracks by blending streaming data, cultural impact and editorial insight to capture what resonated with listeners this summer.
According to Spotify, this year’s list brings “a softer, more introspective vibe than any summer in the last decade.” The music streaming platform also said it was the least danceable and lowest-energy summer for music across the Northern Hemisphere based on Spotify data that analyzes the tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength and overall regularity of top summer songs.
If you need a refresher, last year’s Spotify Global Top 5 Songs of Summer were “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish, “HOT TO GO!” by Chappell Roan, “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, “Espresso” by Carpenter and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey.
