Trying to move on. Of course, I think we’ve all probably heard more than we ever wanted to about what happened between country star Zach Bryan and Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry, who have been going through a very public breakup over the last month or so. Brianna has been very forthcoming with a lot of the details of what went down, saying that Zach and his team offered her a $12 million NDA to keep her from speaking about everything. Mostly through her BFF's podcast, which Bri co-hosts with Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy, as well as personality Josh Richards, we've learned that Zach apparently wouldn’t let Bri listen to Morgan Wallen, and was pretty vocal about her looks and what she wore (Bri also mentioned him being particular about her hair color, which she used to change often), and it’s been entertaining, to put it mildly, listening to her stories. And today over on TikTok, she shared that it's been pretty rough trying to put her life back together since the breakup. She noted that she's had a lot of anxiety being around unfamiliar people since the two split, because obviously, the whole world knows everything about their relationship (which, yes, she voluntarily shared with everyone... very fair). Bri told fans online that she is mostly nervous because she became so isolated during the relationships that she is now "lacking social skills" because she doesn't know how to "entertain real conversations anymore." "I'm in New York, got my hair done today and had a fitting, and everyone's like, 'She's so back, she's so back.' Which yes, I am, I'm back to my life before everything that happened. I think people that are new here maybe forget, or don't know, don't that this was my life before. My life became dramatically slowed down when I started dating my ex. Like, my life kinda just became his life, so I put all my stuff on pause. Although I obviously wanna jump back into my life and I’m very excited to get back to doing my job and traveling, I'd be lying if I said this was easy. I’m going to Vegas tomorrow for work for F1 and I wanna cancel. And I can’t cancel because I’ve already committed ... and I don't like backing up commitments unless I’m on the floor, you know, sobbing. And I also think I need to push myself through these beginning months, but I'm just overwhelmed with anxiety. I'm so nervous... when you went through what I went through, you start to have bad social skills... like, you start lacking social skills because you don’t know how to entertain real conversations anymore. Being with my close friends and family after this, it's easier to bounce ack, because I’m so familiar. I don't stress about jumbling up my words or saying the wrong things, or like, are they judging me? I know they're not." I don't know if it's necessarily fair to put all of that on Zach, but it's clear that being with him took a big toll on her. Bri also explained that she gave up so much of her life to be part of Zach's that it's been a huge readjustment to get back into work and live her own life again: "But now I’m going to Vegas, and it's just gonna be people that I'm not so familiar with. Thank God I'll have Josh there, my manager, but for the most part, I don't know anyone else. And to be thrown in a room with people that, I'm not assuming everyone knows, but it's been very public... everyone knows everything. I don’t wanna go and I just sobbed on my bed. I am freaking the f*** out and I really hope I can look at this video after Vegas and be like, 'You did it, b****. You had a good time.' I’m really praying I don’t have mental breakdowns there." I think many of us are kind over hearing about this saga, but I do think what happened to Brianna in how she became so wrapped up in someone else's life while dating them, while neglecting her own, is a great lesson for anyone, especially young women, regardless of who her ex is.

Im so glad i didnt let my mind trick me out of going. I made so many new friends, so many great work connections, and memories that ill remember forever. Reminder to push yourself through these feelings, its the only way to get through the healing journey!! I didnt think about it once while i was there. Love you guys and proud of us always. Even if you do cancel, proud of you always?? ♬ original sound - Brianna LaPaglia Here's the BFF's podcast where she goes in-depth on everything and tells some of those aforementioned stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUHBGPE5nPA&t=177s

Dust off your boots because Boots In The Park just dropped their 2025 lineup. The New Mexico festival just announced its lineup for 2025, and it's its biggest one to date. Boots In The Park puts on festivals across New Mexico, California, Nevada, and Arizona, bringing some of the best names in country music to these locations. Earlier this year, country fans were treated to performances from Brooks & Dunn, Parker McCollum, Rodney Atkins, and more. However, when planning its 2025 lineup, the festival decided to turn up the heat and bring some of the biggest names in country music to New Mexico. "The biggest Boots In The Park lineup to date takes over Albuquerque on May 17 & 18! Get ready for Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Scotty McCreery + more to light up New Mexico for an unforgettable country music party all weekend long." Boots In The Park attendees can enjoy performances from Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Corey Kent, Jade Eagleson and more. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCzU2gjSL33/ Tickets for the festival go on sale December 5th, so that's the perfect time to purchase a Christmas present for your concert-loving family or friends. My 2025 festival bucket list will be miles long if festivals keep dropping lineups like this. Everyone is bringing the heat when it comes to who they are booking. This is not one you'll want to miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyU0Ymg60Xo

No one can put on a show quite like Charles Wesley Godwin. The West Virginia native and his band - The Allegheny High - take pride in providing a kick-ass show. Of all the country music concerts I've attended in recent memory, it's hard to think of one that topped the energy that CWG presented. Godwin and his band come out firing on all cylinders, and they stay at that level for the entirety of their shows. If you ever get the chance, you've got to go see it in person. For now though, you'll have to settle with this concert video from Charles Wesley Godwin's recent stop at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. CWG has been on tour for much of 2024 after he released his major label debut album Family Ties in September of last year, and he's just now winding down for a bit of a winter break before he hits the road hard again in 2025. Based on videos I've seen from recent shows, it appears that Charles Wesley Godwin is doing the music equivalent of "leaving it all out on the field." Vocal chords and potential brain trauma be damned: CWG and his band are belting out songs and violently shaking their heads at an otherworldly pace as they wind down their 2024 touring. And while Godwin and The Allegheny High were in Philly, they decided to treat concert goers to a raucous cover of Tyler Childers' "Whitehouse Road." It's cool to see a fellow Appalachian artist borrow the song for a bit. "Whitehouse Road" has become a song that Childers doesn't play all that much at his own live shows. It occasionally pops up on a setlist here, but you could categorize those occurrences as "rare." The hit song now falls on the list of other tunes that Tyler seems to play less and less - like "Feathered Indians," which he hasn't played live since 2020. So if Childers isn't going to play "Whitehouse Road," at least there's another lively country music artist out there that's happy to give the song some life. And CWG has seemingly made it a staple of his setlist during his 2024 tour, sometimes using it in the show's encore. Though he always closes out his shows with a cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" as a tribute to his home state of West Virginia. You might be thinking, "CWG sure does seem to play a lot of covers." That's not exactly true, but I will say that when Godwin does decide to do a cover, it's not nonchalant. There's always a certain respect that Charles gives to the songs of others, and they're always used in his shows both as a tribute to the original artist and a sing-a-long of sorts. If a non-fan happens to be out in the audience, CWG can almost certainly turn them in his favor when he breaks out into a cover song. If you happen to be unfamiliar and just clicked on this story because you like Tyler Childers, go ahead and cue this one up and prepare to dive into CWG's impressive music collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_TRMeVlFI

The special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the ongoing prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021. The motion states that “it has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President.” After consulting with Justice Department officials, the special counsel concluded that this policy also applies to presidents-elect. Smith was careful to emphasize that the dismissal was not done on the merits of the case, writing in the filing that the “prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind.” The motion requests that the judge dismiss the case without prejudice, a situation which could theoretically allow it to be reopened at a later date. The post Jack Smith Moves to End January 6 Case appeared first on The American Conservative.
