Karin's entertainment report 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: is on the Pread Show. 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 2: For Tima Craye. The song that changed everything also sort 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: of came with unexpected blowback, and she says she wouldn't 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 2: change a thing. So while she was talking to Rolling Stone, 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 2: she reflected on collaborating with Morgan Wallen on What I Want, 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: her first and only number one hit, if you can 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: believe that, and she made it clear that she has 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: zero regrets about the song. She says country music has 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: always been part of her world, growing up around it 19 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: and watching her brother obsess over the genre. When the 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: chance came to crossovers, she jumped at it simply because 21 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: she loved the song, not realizing how much controversy would follow. 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: The reaction, she admits shocked her also gave her clarity 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: but who she is and how she wants to move 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: forward as an artist. She says that she never even 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: met Morgan in person, but believes criticism is part of growth. 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: Regret doesn't help, but learning does. Fifty Cent told Cherry 27 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: Shepherd that Netflix only gave him four episodes in that 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: Ditty documentary or docuseries, I should say something, he says, 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: led to lots of things being cut out, including the 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: fact that Ditty allegedly has a baby with a girl 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: tupac dated and if you have not watched it yet, 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: that's kind of a theme. If somebody messes with him, 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: he wants to take their girl. If somebody has a 34 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: girl that's more powerful than him, he wants to take 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: their girl. And fifty says that once people see others 36 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: start to speak and come forward, they get more comfortable 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: to do so, so they start reaching out. But as 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: for a second docuseries, he said he'll probably just throw 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: it on YouTube, so there may be more, and it 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: may be just thrown on YouTube as opposed to a 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: whole Netflix production. As twenty twenty five wraps up the 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: year's biggest concert tours have been tellied and country artists 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: made a strong showing among the globe's top earners. At 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: the very top of the overall list, not country, but 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: Coldplay claimed the number one spot with nearly four hundred 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: and sixty five million in ticket sales. That's Crazy, followed 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: by Beyonce, that Kendrick and Sissy Tour and The Weekends Tour. 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: Post Malone stood out as the highest ranking artist tied 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: to country, placing in the top ten worldwide thanks to 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: his blockbuster Big Gas Stadium World Tour. Zach Brian also 51 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: landed among the year's top grossing tours with around one 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine million, drawing in massive crowds on 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: the road despite a pretty turbulent year off stage. Luke 54 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: Culmbs followed with seventy six million across just eleven shows, 55 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: So you have to keep that in mind. Like The 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Weekend was touring for like four years, Luke only had 57 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: eleven shows and he hit sixty four or seventy six 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: excuse me. And while George straight he closed out the 59 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: list with seventy five million from six powerful shows, So 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: just six and I feel like he's always in the 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: conversation for these high grossing tours. Speaking of country, Billboard 62 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: crowned Kenny Chesney as the top Country Artist of the Year, 63 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: Chris Stapleton's Traveler as the top country album m bb REXA, 64 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: and Florida Georgia Lines Meant to Be as the top 65 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: country song of the century so far, so I guess 66 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: they're doing that one for the century.
