Chely Wright

After a successful crowdfunding campaign, fans can look forward to new music from Chely Wright this fall.

A handful of country stars are speaking out against Tennessee's proposed transgender "bathroom bill."

It's been 14 years since 9/11 -- the day the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center fell, the Pentagon was partially destroyed and a field near Shanksville, Pa., became a giant hole in the ground in the tragic, coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda.

Tragedy struck at the Grand 16 Theater in Lafayette, La., on Thursday night (July 23), when a gunman opened fire during a showing of Amy Schumer's new movie Trainwreck.

When country singer Chely Wright has something to say, she'll say it. She's not been shy about voicing her opinions on numerous issues -- especially gay marriage and LGBTQ rights since coming out in 2010 -- and recently shared her opinion of the term "political correctness" in a Facebook post.

On Friday (June 26), the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in the United States -- and everyone, including numerous country artists, jumped on Twitter to voice their opinions, both pro- and anti-gay marriage.

William Congreve, the same man who penned the immortal line now often paraphrased as "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" also wrote, "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast." Written more than 300 years ago, those two lines nonetheless capture the spirit of some of country music's best cat fights.

Congratulations are in order for Chely Wright, who has exceeded the Kickstarter goal for her new album.

Chely Wright is recording a new album, and she's letting her fans get in on the action. The singer has started a Kickstarter campaign to release her upcoming project, with a goal of raising $175,000.

According to her fans, it’s high time for the Grand Ole Opry to invite Chely Wright to their stage again. The former Opry darling hasn’t performed there since she came out publicly as a lesbian in 2010.
