Cody Johnson will headline the main CMA Fest show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Friday night.
It’s a coveted, big-time gig at any point in an artist’s career, but for Cody, it’s his first time meeting the CMA crowd with an entertainer of the year trophy under his belt.
It’s something “The Fall” hitmaker’s been trying to absorb ever since he picked up the ACM honor May 17.
“I remember playing those gigs for very, very little money and knowing … it’s not gonna pay my house off,” he said, looking back on his beginnings. “But ultimately, people got to hear my music. And then that shaped why I wrote certain songs, why I chose certain songs from certain songwriters to send that message.”
“If I have a platform that’s gonna reach this many people,” he explained, “I can send this message or this message. And I chose those songs that sent a brighter message to the world.”
“And looking back, it’s kinda surreal,” Cody continued. “I haven’t really let it soak in yet. For a cowboy, this is that gold buckle I’ve been chasing my whole life.”
Jo Dee Messina, Blake Shelton, Shaboozey, The Red Clay Strays, The Band Perry and Keith Urban are all set to play before Cody goes on at 11:30 p.m. CT.

Baby Keem and his mother moved from Long Beach, California, to Las Vegas when he was a child to be closer to family, and it’s a place that holds tough memories for the rapper.
Speaking to HighSnobiety, he says he continues to reflect on his childhood through his music — specifically his February drop “Highway 95 Pt. 2,” the follow-up to 2021’s “Highway 95.”
“I knew I would eventually have to address Vegas,” he says. “I just didn’t know it was going to come out like this.”
He adds, “But when you really dig deep — and I was digging deep, deep — through some of these ideas, it was clear that being from this place was the root of a lot of these concepts. My mom didn’t start using substances until we moved to Vegas. … Vegas is hard for me. I still have some family there, but it’s tough.”
“Highway 95” was featured on Keem’s Grammy-winning album The Melodic Blue in 2021, while Pt. 2 is included on 2026’s Ca$ino. There is a five-year gap between those two projects, due in part to health issues he has not publicly discussed.
“I’ll never be super public about what it was because I don’t want that to be the narrative,” he tells HighSnobiety. “Going through that was the hardest setback for me.”
“You have all these [moments] where you’re like, ‘Damn, I really won’t make music ever again.’ I turned off my Twitter. I didn’t need to see people telling me to release when I physically could not make music for a year. I had to learn how to do it again. It really f***** me up to where I didn’t want to go outside at all.”
The full interview is available online.

Rush’s highly anticipated Fifty Something tour finally kicks off Sunday in Los Angeles, something fans of the Canadian rockers have been waiting for for more than a decade.
The tour will be Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson’s first outing since wrapping the R40 tour in 2015. It will also be their first tour since the 2020 death of their drummer and friend Neil Peart.
Playing drums on the tour will be Anika Nilles, who previously worked with the late Jeff Beck. Of course, filling Peart’s shoes won’t be easy.
The Police drummer Stewart Copeland, who was a friend of Peart’s, tells ABC Audio Nilles’ biggest challenge will likely be “Rush fans who have memorized every detail of Dr. Peart’s performance.” Still, he believes “she has the chops” to succeed.
“I think she’s gonna do fine,” he says. “I think, you know, the sense that I get is that everyone is very curious. Nobody resents her.”
As for Rush’s return to the road, Copeland notes, “Rush waited a very respectable amount of time. There’s no doubt that it’s all in honor of Neil.”
If you were wondering, Peart will be honored throughout the tour. The band plans to play two sets each night, with a different set list at every show, along with a tribute to their late bandmate. In an April interview with Brazilian TV show Fantástico, Lee said they’ll dedicate two songs per night to Peart, with each performance featuring a visual tribute.
Lifeson described the tribute as “a celebration of who he was as a person and a drummer, not so sad anymore.”
Rush’s Fifty Something tour begins with four nights at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles. The North American run continues through Dec. 17. A complete list of dates can be found at Rush.com.

In the new John Carney movie Power Ballad, Nick Jonas plays a former boy band member who steals a song from Rick — a wedding singer played by Paul Rudd — and uses it to establish his solo career. Nick said he really wanted work with Carney and Rudd, but took on the role of Danny in the film because he could relate to it on several levels.
“I’ve lived a lot of these experiences,” he told ABC Audio. “And not just the career stuff and the fame aspect of Danny’s life, but the songwriting and the journey to find yourself, push the envelope, do something different, the pressure that you can feel.”
That pressure is what leads Danny to claim Rick’s song as his own. Rick then crashes out, and begins regretting putting his own music career on hold to have a family. Nick says the movie asks the question, “How far would you go to get everything you ever wanted, and at what cost?”
Carney told ABC Audio that he chose Nick because it was important to him to cast an actual musician in the role of Danny.
“He just has stood on so many stages in the world. He walks onto a stage and he just is natural, he knows how it works,” Carney said. He added that an actor “can’t carry that off as well as a real singer who’s been onstage since he was like 6.”
As for Rudd, he shows off some very impressive singing and guitar skills in the film. But he didn’t look at it as a way to surprise people with his hidden talents.
“I’m always just like, ‘Oh God, I hope I don’t fall on my face,'” he said. “But I feel that with just about every job I do. … It’s more of just, ‘I hope it’s believable.'”

Cardi B is reacting to Latto’s explanation of why she dissed her on the song “Gimme Dat.” Taking to X Thursday, Cardi said she understands why Latto was upset with her.
“I truly understand how you feel…and that’s exactly why I chose to apologize publicly because the disrespect became public,” Cardi wrote, before explaining her mindset when she negatively reference Latto during a phone call that was later leaked.
“When the call came out I was eight months pregnant, had just released my album, and was extremely overwhelmed and emotional. Thats not to excuse what I said but to let you know where I was in my head. I genuinely felt bad about what happened,” she said. “On that call I didn’t even mean to call you that, I didn’t mean any harm.. There’s a difference in what I said vs what I meant.”
In the call ranting about Ice Spice’s diss track, Cardi said, “Y’all think I’m f****** p**** a** Latto?” In her post, she acknowledges that she “let my mouth get the best of me.”
Cardi also shared that she made several attempts to reach out afterward.
“I always wanted to make it right but making it right looks different for the both of us,” she wrote. “I wanted to connect with you but you wanted to address it on your album.”
The post follows an interview in which Latto said her emotions were heightened because she had rushed early in her pregnancy to record her verse for the “ErrTime” remix to help with Cardi’s first-week sales. She said she considered Cardi a friend and mentioned Cardi apologized on social media rather than text. Still, she says she’s open to having a conversation.

Cher has rocked many looks over the years, but one thing that most people identify with her is her long, glossy, straight hair — the style has even been called “Cher Hair.” That’s why she’s teamed up with Garnier for a campaign for a new product called Fructis Diamond Sleek Spray.
Cher stars in a short film alongside young actress Xochitl Gomez, the Dancing with the Stars winner who played America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film finds Xochitl, who’s wearing a Cher T-shirt, removing her skateboard helmet and declaring that her hair looks bad.
As she enters a club where Cher is scheduled to appear, she runs into the icon herself. “Hey babe,” says Cher. “You’re an uncut gem. All you need is polish. I’m here to help you.” She gives her a bottle of Diamond Sleek Spray and sends her into the bathroom to redo her ‘do.
With her newly sleek hair, a smiling Xochitl poses in the mirror. “I like your T-shirt, but I’m not crazy about the girl,” Cher tells her. She snaps her fingers and Xochitl is suddenly wearing a white, Cher-like outfit with fringe and sparkles.
Cher wrote on Instagram of the product, “I’ve lived my life with very few rules…. But one rule that’s always worked for me is that sleek hair can ALWAYS make a girl shine.”
She noted in a statement, “Sleek hair has always been part of my look, and I’ve never believed in keeping a good secret.”
As part of the campaign, Garnier is also teaming with Cher’s gelato brand, Cherlato, for a pop-up in LA, where fans will be able to sample a limited-edition Garnier x Cherlato flavor.
