Dierks Bentley says new album arriving soon

MTV says Kane Brown is going to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 28th. He will sing his new song ''Grand''. Kane is going to be the first male country artist to perform on the awards show.

Maren Morris tells Entertainment Tonight that she has received a callback audition for the Broadway show ''Wicked''. She Instagrammed, “I got a callback for Wicked. I am in tears. What the hell. Ya'll, I literally don’t even care -- yes I do -- if I go beyond this callback. Because this is like, 14-year-old Maren’s getting to achieve something that was never in reach, like it just never felt possible. So, thank you for being on this journey with me. We will see where it goes. I’m just really happy. I love Wicked. I love Elphaba. I love Kristin Chenoweth. Thank you, Kristin, for inspiring me to just buck up and just send the self-tape in.”

Dierks Bentley tells Country Heat Weekly that his new album will be out in early 2023. “The album is done. I’m just wrapping up some collaborations and some final mixed stuff. It’s the 10th, so it’s got to be right. After my third record, I thought maybe there wouldn’t be albums anymore because of all the streaming and different ways to consume music. But they’re still making ‘em. As long as there’s still an opportunity to make an album, I’ll be doing it.”
