As Ella Langley's star continues to rise, she's bringing good vibes wherever she goes. From her non-profit animal work with Pawsitive Pets Paradise, to making good on a promise to her sister to take to her to Hawaii, right down to the intentions she sets before each show with her band, the "weren't for the wind" singer recently kept Katie Neal company during the 'Superstar Power Hour' and told us all about it.

Ella continues "taking each step up the ladder" on tour, as she gets closer to the headliner at stadiums across the country, playing shows with Riley Green and Morgan Wallen. Langley shares her own pre-show ritual with the band, that helps get them set to take the stage. "We've been doing, very consistently, peppermint oil," she reveals. "We just put a little bit in the palm of our hand, rub it together, and kind of talk about our intentions on the show and what we want the show to be for us, for them, for the crowd, just all the good vibes that you could possibly think of for walking out there, and then rubbing your hands together and then taking three massive breaths in."

Along with something she calls "loose body dancing," the natural moment has been mostly great for Ella and her band. "It just opens everything up and it's kind of like, 'whoa,' like a little bit of an adrenaline rush almost. It's kind of how like, it's smelling salts before they go out and play sports or whatever, it's kind of a similar thing to that, but probably not as intense. It's just a little more natural."

"Don't get it in your eyes though if you do it," she cautions. "It stays on your hands and we've all done it where we're all in the show, like our eyes are watering because there's so much peppermint oil in our eyes."

Langley plans to continue riding high on the success of her album, 'still hungover,' letting fans fully take in the effort before releasing something new. "My next record's not gonna be out until 2026," she shares. "I feel like people move on from their records so fast, they're like, 'here's a whole record of 20 something songs and then we're gonna give you one single off of it and then move on to the next record,' and I think there's something to be said with taking your time with making the record and putting all those pieces in place where it can last a long time, last in a way where fans can keep digging into it and digging into it and finding new songs that they love and finding new little pieces about the record that's different."

"I'm really just trying to do what feels right to me. I'm not really paying attention to what other artists have done or also doing that, but still keeping my blinders up in the way where it's like, this is my art. This is how I want to put it out. This is in the way that I think is would be best for my artistry, and that's what's so cool about the team that I have is everyone really does... they see the vision with me and they believe in it and execute it."

On the cusp of releasing his new, self-titled album, Parker McCollum joins Katie Neal this week for the 'Superstar Power Hour,' where the "Big Sky" singer shares an update on his family, talks about creating his new LP in New York City, and reveals what it's like to tour with the one and only, George Strait.

McCollum's self-titled new album, set to arrive everywhere on June 27, is a return to the authentic approach Parker took on his debut effort. "I feel like I finally figured out that just like being me is is really what I should do as an artist," he shares. "I spent so much time trying to be a Country singer and wanting to be a Country singer and wanting to sound like Country singers and I'm just like, 'man, I just don't think that I do,' and that's alright."

Recorded in New York City, McCollum says it was an intense, focused environment that helped create his latest collection. "I didn't go to a restaurant, I didn't go to a bar, I was either in my hotel room or in the studio for 7 days or in the car from one to the other. I ate room service, same meal, breakfast and dinner every night and went straight to the studio every day for about 10-11 hours, and it was intense and it was emotional and grueling and we just went after it."

This summer Parker McCollum will once again hit the road, this time touring with George Strait and Chris Stapleton in stadiums across the country. "I haven't spent any time with Chris, but George and I spent a little bit of time together and he's just an unbelievably kind human being," remarks Parker. "Just a really, really sweet man and he's the king of Country music. He's a living breathing legend and just the greatest to ever do it. And he just couldn't be more down to earth and genuine and kind, and, every time I've been around him, I've really enjoyed just getting to talk with him a little bit. I have a lot of respect for him."

Kane Brown has another song climbing to the top of the charts with "Backseat Driver," and he's already amped for what's next. The singer sat down with Katie Neal to talk about his latest music, tour gifts, his upcoming movie role, and more during this week's edition of the 'Superstar Power Hour.'

"Whenever you're doing shows and you get to see the reaction from the crowd get bigger and bigger and bigger as the tour goes on for the song. 'Oh, it's growing.' People are liking the song," Kane says of fans feedback to the track, "Backseat Driver."

While the song continues to gain momentum everywhere, Kane is also all about his new summer bop, "2 Pair," which arrived last week. "This is the most excited I've been about a song in a while," KB reveals. "It's really just a fun stomping song like the Country version of Nelly's 'Air Force Ones.'"

Another project that Kane appears ecstatic about is the upcoming film, 'The Token Groomsman,' which he's set to start shooting soon with his friend Taylor Lautner. "The script's hilarious," smiles Brown. "Being in a movie, my first movie, Taylor Lautner is a perfect guy because I'm his best friend, so we actually are friends in real life, we text and talk and so it should be just natural and, I'm really excited I get to do this with Taylor."

This week during the 'Superstar Power Hour,' Riley Green revealed that he has some new music in the works, but perhaps for fans more importantly, he's heard your concern over his mustache and it's back for now.

"I thought people might mention it," smiles Riley about the reaction to him shaving his mustache earlier this year, having no idea it would make the kind of news it made. "It was nice that day I walked in the bar and nobody knew who I was, like I was about 14 when I shaved it off."

"So I shave every year just to get a little sun on my face," Green explains to Katie Neal. "It just feels nice for a little change, and I didn't realize that I'm like 'mustache guy' now. So people expect a certain level of mustache from me, and when I shaved it really, it hurt some people's feelings."

With his stache secured, the talk turns to Riley's latest song to climb the charts, "Worst Way," from his album 'Don't Mind If I Do.' "I don't tend to write a lot of love songs," he says of the album closer. "I'm always kind of the ballady like, 'I Wish Grandpas Never died,' more sad song guy. You know, people don't wanna just cry the whole concert, I thought I should kind of try something else."

"'Worst Way' ended up being a really forward love song, and when you write songs like that by yourself, you're not bouncing ideas off anybody. So when you get done with it, you're like, 'wait, is this OK?'"

"It was a little outside of my comfort zone, and when I got done with it, I thought there was something cool about it. I think I like most songs I played a little bit of it and posted it on Facebook or Instagram or something, and it blew up. That's how you know when fans kind of let you know you have something and, I think it went platinum before we even sent to radio it was just this huge song. So when fans go and make a song hit like that, it's always so much fun. You kind of sit back and just enjoy playing it, and it's become one of the biggest moments in my live show."

Dustin Lynch returned to CMA Fest this year, with new music and a whole new occupation, pulling double duty as a Country star and resident DJ at some of the country's biggest clubs.

"I'm really proud of the creative process and the flow that I've been in and I'm still in right now," Dustin tells Katie Neal, writing his new song "Easy To Love" and working on his upcoming album. "'Easy To Love' is kind of a little bit autobiographical about a guy that's just going where the wind blows them and where the waves take him, and that's literally the season of life I'm in right now because of, a couple of things. One of those being this DJ set and nightlife set that I'm performing outside of my normal Country touring. We started doing DJ sets in Las Vegas. We have a residency at the Wynn."

"We're performing that show at a bunch of the big nightclubs across the US and Canada," explains Lynch. "That has literally taken my life in a completely new direction. If you'd have told me at last CMA Fest I would be doing this, I would have called you crazy, but here we are."

These new performances have influenced Dustin's upcoming album, as he has a lot of everything on the horizon. "I've got well over an album already recorded," he reveals. "We've been recording as the year's gone and we get songs we love, so lots more new music coming out this year. A lot of Country music coming out, a lot of new Dance music coming out as well. So just working on both projects simultaneously. I'm a mad man. I'm constantly on the phone and in the studio right now doing both projects."

Hear more about both projects from Dustin during his interview above from the Audacy Nashville Sound Space at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Riding high off her new single, "You Had To Be There," Megan Moroney recently joined Katie Neal for the 'Superstar Power Hour,' to talk about working with Kenny Chesney, life on tour, her next album, and the story behind her hit, "Am I Okay?"

"I had only known this dude for like a month," admits Megan about the song's subject. "Mistake number one. Never write a nice song about a man that you've only known for a month because by month 3, they will ruin your life."

"I was like a month in and I was like, 'wait, I'm actually like really happy and this is crazy,' like what's wrong with me? I'm usually so sad, like put me in rice, something's wrong with me. And so that was the sentiment that I went in with. I wrote it with Jesse Jo Dillon and Luke Laird."

"But at the same time... I knew I was going on tour with Kenny, so I wanted it to feel like a stadium song. So when I was having Luke come up with the chords and stuff, I was like, 'this needs to feel really big' because I want to be able to get people up even though I play pretty early. I want people like up out of their seats, just like another good song for my setlist that feels like a party, and we would end the set every night with that one, and mission accomplished, I guess. But yeah, when we wrote it, it was kind of just half of authentic feelings of being like, 'wait, I'm actually happy. Am I okay?' And then paired with the need for a big stadium song, and that's how we got it."

With the tour coming to a close and her star rapidly rising, it's almost the end of the 'Am I Okay?' era, but what's next for Megan Moroney? "Well, I can say that I've been in the studio a lot. I've been writing a lot. I'm just gonna keep the ball rolling, you know, so I'm excited," she reveals. "This next set of music is a lot happier than what you would expect, but I feel like that's just where I'm at in life. I feel like for once I'm just like, chilling."

"I do have one really gut-wrenching song on the album. There's a few sad songs still because I would never abandon my emo cowgirlness, but for the album as a whole, I definitely think it's a lot more carefree and just like, sassy and fun, and I'm excited for everyone to hear what I've been working on."

Jason Aldean is currently rocking stages across the country with his 'Full Throttle Tour,' excited to get back on the road after six months away. He joined Katie Neal this week during the 'Superstar Power Hour' and talked about prepping for tour, and how he's spent his time away from the spotlight.

Aldean is "ready to get back to work," he tells Katie, but his time away has produced some new music we'll hopefully hear later this year. "Trying to finish up an album while we're off not touring, so kind of wrapping that up," he says. "I got some new music coming this year."

A new album would be a great accomplishment for anyone, but given the carpool schedule at the Aldean house it's even more amazing. "Right now, you know, kids are all playing sports. Memphis is in baseball, Navy's in softball. Kendall's playing flag football at her school, and so they're just kind of all over the map," he reveals. "We've spent a lot of time going to practices and games and doing all that kind of stuff, and all that's about to wrap up here in the next week or two and get ready for summer."

"Yeah, essentially a chauffeur and just trying to figure out how to get everybody where they need to be and, not really a lot of time for me to do anything right now except be a driver."

Jason says he's "excited to get it out there," with the new music, but still figuring out the best way to present the songs due to the rapid consumption of music these days. "You know, you drop an album and then everybody just consumes it for a month or two and then they're like, 'OK, when's the next one coming out?' You're like, 'man, it took me 8 months to make that thing.' So, I think this go around, trying to figure out how we drop a project and maybe kind of stagger it out where we don't give them everything right off the bat, just enough to kind of say, 'here's a little bit' and then 'here's a little bit more' and then, 'here's the rest of it' kind of thing."

"It's Morgan Wallen's fault," Jason jokes. "Morgan's putting out all these records, 20 songs here, 20 songs there, then dropping like random stuff here and there and it just like seems like the guy's dropping a new record every 4 months or something. The reality is there's a lot of work that goes into that and just writing the songs, and getting to a place to go in and make those records. So to just turn them out like that it's almost impossible. So, just trying to figure out how to extend the life of the album and some of the songs."

The love story between Tim McGraw and Faith Hill remains a fairytale, and during his 'Superstar Power Hour' interview with Katie Neal, we learned how it all started.

"I remember the very first time I saw a picture of Faith. I fell in love instantly," Tim gushes, after looking back at one of Faith's first award acceptance speeches. "I think she was on Billboard magazine or something. I was walking through my management office, and I'd had like one or two singles out off of my first album, I hadn't really done much, and I was in the process of recording my second album. I walked by and saw the photo of her on it and I'm like, 'oh my God.' I need to find that girl."

The two have now been married for nearly 30 years, sharing 3 kids along the way, and still adding to the family. "We got two new puppies at home, so we're pretty busy right now," adds Tim. "We got Aussie Mountain Doodles. So they're cute as they can be, but they're a handful... She's busy handling them while I'm out doing some work."

In addition to his family update, McGraw also gave us an update on his health, after undergoing several surgeries over the last few years. "Over the last 2 years I've had 4 major surgeries. So it's been a rough go, but you know, I beat myself up over the years pretty badly."

"I'm starting to come around. It's just gonna take a little time, but I've done a lot of PT getting to where I can move a little better. There's setbacks, you know, you go a couple of weeks, everything is really good, then you have a couple of weeks everything goes backwards again, and so it's sort of a back and forth thing, but at least I'm up and going and moving."

"The worst part for me is I'm terrible at sitting still," admits Tim. "I had two back surgeries before the tour last year. And then during the tour, the back started going cattywampus on me and in about 3 weeks in the tour, my knees went out, so I had to do the whole tour with my knee shot, my back shot, so right after I had double knee replacements. So both knees. And that was the worst, having to lay there for 6, 8 weeks and not do much."

"That was the worst part was mentally. I mean, I was warned about it by my doctors that everybody that gets these things, there's of depression that happens. And for me I was saying, 'I not gonna get depressed, you know, it's football season. I'm gonna have my knees replaced and watch football.' But, you know, 3 weeks into it, I was tired of it."

Thankfully Tim is in better spirits now, booked and busy with more music to enjoy. There's the MLB Speedway Classic happing in August, his Field of Dreams concert later that month, the Music City Rodeo later this month, and of course his new take on "Paper Umbrellas" with Parker McCollum out now.

"That song was on my 'Standing Room Only' album, and we were getting ready to pick a new single. I wanted to bring something off of that album, and there were a couple of choices we had, but I always loved that record, one of my favorite records on the album, and I wanted to freshen it up a little bit because it had been out for a while on the album."

"And was looking around at somebody new to put on the record and Parker was the first guy I thought of because I liked his music and the direction that he goes, and the way his voice sounds, and it seemed like his voice would fit perfectly on this type of song," reveals Tim "He did a great job on it and so we decided that, yeah, this is gonna be the single and so it's off and running."
