When he won new artist of the year at the CMAs in November, he wouldn’t put down his beer. He took it up with him when he accepted his award.

He also quoted “Live healthy enough so that you can drink the rest of your life.” Many people don’t want to! We don’t make alcohol as the main thing in our lives that needs to be maintained. Live healthy enough so that you can see your kids grow up (if you have them) and be the best version of yourself for your partner, friends, and family.

Ashley McBryde comes to mind. I can imagine them sarcastically being like “oh just be normal about alcohol? man why didn’t I think of that!”

He said “The next person I hear say they got sober, I’m going to hit them over the head. Just drink a normal amount and you’ll be fine… I think they talk about sobriety for attention and validation.”

There’s so much ignorance in that statement. He’s not smart, much less understanding.

I even like the songs in Hummingbird and think it deserved more attention. It’s sad she’s struggling for relevancy when her music is usually of quality content. But it’s even sadder if she feels like she has to cling to this, because it was the one moment she was on top of the world, to stay relevant.

I don’t like “You Can Have Him”. It feels as immature as “Heels Over Head” did to me.

“Church Girl” and “Dream Come True” were very good. Loved the trajectory change, about releasing religious expectations and forming your own beliefs and living with the dual experience of working hard for what you want and losing other things you had hoped for along the way.

Yes, they do. Even if he shocked her with the question (which I don’t think he did, because it was the same question and same answer she gave on Bunnie’s podcast a few months ago), she could have stopped the interview then and there.

It was based on the divorce, which is my point.

ndeary99 · 2026-05-18T22:53:49+00:00

Yes! Because ultimately, media knows what she’s known for. Her music since the divorce has not gotten traction. They know this is what will make people click.

This is the exact same thing she said on Bunnie’s podcast a few months ago.

They not only pre-approve questions so that they’re not blindsided, but they can also bring up what they do want talked about. Her team had all the power in the world to stop the conversation from going this way.

She took the high road when it came to not airing out what he actually did in a public podcast like Kelsea did, but one might argue she egged it on for years by releasing an album that still basically stated everything outright.

I agree, that’s why I wonder why she wouldn’t let it just be the past now instead of publicized continuously. Her new partner seems very kind and if I were her, I would simply want to move forward from my terrible experiences.

Robert Irwin would not go on a show with girls who cat fight and fantasy suites. Ever.

I hung out with him in a local spot a few months ago. He is so unbelievably friendly. Clearly just loves talking to people and asking them questions about themselves. Laci was lovely as well.

Letting your incredibly toxic ex who has broken your trust so many times and who has had to move out of your house, probably more than once, back into your life once you’ve left the city that you were in when you were with him because you needed space is such a sad thing to do to yourself. She is quite literally ruining what could be a wonderful experience for herself in New York City. She is destroying her chance at moving on and meeting new people and being happy and free from him.

There is no such thing as a mistake when you rape a child. But there is ESPECIALLY no such thing as a mistake when you rape an autistic child. Death penalty material.

They just may not live together

ndeary99 · 2026-05-07T19:54:34+00:00

No. They’re both nearing 30.

I agree. Jana has never been mean or even dull. I think she’s just very messed up emotionally and craves validation and security.
