Scotty McCreery, who is currently opening for Kane Brown, shared a video of himself falling onstage recently. It happened when he was dancing and fired an imaginary shotgun into the air. As he leans back to pull the "trigger," Scotty loses his footing and starts to fall backwards. He was able to catch himself with his left hand. After the show, Scotty shared that his left wrist was hurting. He got no sympathy from his band. When they were asked what the highlight of the night was, many of them said it was Scotty's fall.
Carly Pearce recently met 21-year-old Jacob during a meet-and-greet and he had a story to share with her. Jacob told Carly that he was diagnosed with stage three cancer last year, and he told her that her album Hummingbird helped him find the strength to get through his treatment. Unfortunately the doctors told him that the treatment hadn't worked. Jacob wasn't sure if he would make it to the show, but his nurses believed in him and they bought him a ticket so he could be there. In a very touching moment, Carly sat on the side of the stage alongside Jacob and sang him a song from her album.

Kenny Chesney and June Carter Cash are the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Vince Gill hosted the announcement yesterday. Carter Cash joins in the Veteran Era Artist Category and Chesney is this year's Modern Era inductee. Carter Cash's children, Carlene Carter and John Carter Cash, were on hand to talk about their mom's posthumous induction into the Hall of Fame. Carlene described her mother as a "force of nature." When Kenny took the stage, he talked about an Alabama concert that he went to with his mom and stepfather when he was younger. "I went to that show and something happened to me that night," he said. "There was a fire lit, something in my soul that set me on this path." They will be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in a Medallion Ceremony in October.
Trisha Yearwood is the latest celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony was held yesterday. Trisha's husband, Garth Brooks, and friends Reba McEntire and Carly Pearce were all there to honour her. Reba talked about the first time she met Trisha at the ACM Awards in the early 90's. She ended up sitting with Trisha and her mom at the afterparty. "I sat there with you and I thought 'I love her already because she's with her mom.' And your dry wit sense of humour won my heart," Reba told the crowd. Carly Pearce talked about how much of an influence Trisha has been on her career. "People tell you to never meet your heroes, but the woman we are all celebrating today has made me and so many other aspiring country music singers think differently," Carly said.
