No, he hasn't lost his mind. Jelly Roll has kicked off a new season of digital detox. He does his best to stay off of his phone when he isn't touring. 

He has been planning his detox since October when he tweeted about his plan to get rid of his phone when he wrapped up touring. He has previously shared his love/hate relattionship with his phone, especially social media. 

His wife, Bunny Xo, shared a video to social media showing her husband throw his phone into the Cumberland River in Nashville. It's his annual "Get Rid Of His Phone After Tour Saga". The video shows him Facetiming his family to celebrate the moment with Bunny captioning the video "Sorry, Jelly Roll can't come to the phone right now."

Chris Stapleton brought some comfort to a teen who was the only survivor of a car crash that took the lives of three of her family members. 19-year-old Alex Moffett was in a vehicle with her grandmother, younger sister and father when a 16-year-old driver fell asleep and hit their car. The family had taken a trip in June to visit their grandmother and had planned to go to Chris Stapleton's show as part of their vacation. Alex has had a long recovery after she suffered a punctured lung and multiple fractures to her pelvis, ribs, arm, wrist and orbital bones. She had to undergo facial reconstruction, elbow replacement and wrist surgery. One of her surgeons was able to get in contact with Chris Stapleton, once they found out the family trip had been mostly about the concert. They told Alex they were trying to FaceTime with him, but they were having problems with the service and would have to call back. "Like a minute later, we got a knock on my door and they just came in," Alex recalls. Chris sang "Traveller" to the teen. It's a song he wrote after the death of his own father. Alex says the visit took place on Father's Day.

 

An aspiring country singer who posted on social media about his trip to the 2024 CMA Awards may find himself behind bars after prosecutors noticed that his visit to Nashville violated his bond conditions. An Alabama judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Austin Tanner just days after he and his wife Skyla went to Nashville to attend the CMAs without asking permission from the court. Austin Tanner was indicted on fraud and theft charges earlier this year. He was not invited to the awards show itself.

Tracy Lawrence and Mission: Possible just celebrated their 19th anniversary of frying up turkeys and providing meals to the homeless across Middle Tennessee. Over those years, they have provided more than 86,000 meals, donated over $1 million to Nashville Rescue Mission, and raised over $2.5 million to advocate for those in need. Tracy is amazed by how much the Turkey Drop has grown, saying, "It started off in the parking lot of the Nashville Rescue Mission 19 years ago, and with just a handful of friends and something very small, just kind of an awareness campaign, and it's grown into this amazing event with hundreds of volunteers."

A team of paramedics working a Zach Bryan show on November 22nd responded to a false alarm when one of the band members appeared to faint. When Zach introduces his band to the crowd, his steel guitar player and banjoist Read O'Connolly slumps over and falls to the ground. The rest of the band rushes to his side and starts fanning him with a hat. This is part of the show. Eventually, he comes around and starts playing a banjo solo to kick off the song "Revival." The problem was that the paramedics didn't know about it. So they rushed the stage when they thought a medical emergency was happening. "They should tell us that's part of the act!" one paramedic said to a concertgoer after they realized he was not in distress. Zach's Quittin' Time Tour will wrap up in December. He's said that's he won't be touring next year so you can pursue a master's degree in Paris.

Cody Johnson's producer Trent Willmon addressed his CMA Awards comment about Shaboozey over the weekend. "Shout out to Shaboozey for your response to my fumble and having a great sense of humour," he wrote. "Congrats on that 17-Week #1 song!" The fumble he's referring to happened when Trent and Cody Johnson were onstage accepting the CMA for Album of the Year for Leather, which Trent produced. During his speech, he said, "This is for the cowboy that's been kicking Shaboozey for a lot of years." After the show, Shaboozey laughed it off in a social media post showing a picture of himself shrugging his shoulders and writing, "Ain't nobody kicking me!" Trent admitted that he chose the wrong words to express his feelings while he was onstage. "What I meant to express in my overly-shocked and excited state was that I am very proud of Cody Johnson. He has worked his BOOTY off the last 15 years putting out and performing great music and it's not an overnight success," Trent wrote. "I was so proud he's finally getting recognized!"

Luke Combs was shocked to be named People Magazine's Sexiest 34-Year-Old Man. He is part of the "Sexy at Every Age" list, which is included in their Sexiest Man Alive issue. Luke talked about it at the CMA Awards when he was asked about the moment he knew he made it. "I think the moment for me is when my mom sent me a People magazine article that said I was the sexiest 34-year-old man on the planet," he jokes. "And that's when I was like, down year. 1990 must have been a down year. I thought it was a Most Cheeseburgers Eaten list." Luke wasn't the only country artist to appear on the list. Tim McGraw was named Sexiest Long-Married Star. Warren Zeiders was named the sexiest 25-year-old, and Hunter Hayes takes the title for 33 years olds.
