Watch now: Gabby Barrett hopes "The Good Ones" music video will make your day

No Comments Country Music News

ABC Now that Gabby Barrett‘s breakthrough hit, “I Hope,” has become a smash on both the country and pop charts, the American Idol alum is turning her attention to her follow-up single — and it couldn’t be more different.

‘The Good Ones’ is another very special song,” she tells ABC Audio. “It’s kind of — well, pretty much is — a 360 [degree turn] from ‘I Hope.’ ‘I Hope’ was talking about a past relationship in high school that I had went through, unfortunately.”

“And then, ‘The Good Ones’ is kind of bringing you into my present life,” she continues. “And it was, of course, written and inspired by my husband. And so you’re kind of getting to know me through my music a little bit —  past, present.”

Gabby and husband Cade Foehner met while competing on Idol in 2018, and tied the knot in October of the next year. Right now, they’re anxiously awaiting their first child, a daughter, who should arrive by the end of the month. 

The expectant mother believes the upbeat message of “The Good Ones” is something we all could use right now.

“I thought it was just a really cool song to release during the times that we’re in right now, something positive,” she reflects. “And the music video was really, really fun to shoot, really meaningful. I’m glad that I got to put a spin on that and make it not just an ordinary music video, but with a message.”

“So, hopefully it’s another good ONE!” she adds, with hopes it will become her second number one.  

Cade does make a cameo in “The Good Ones” music video, but that’s not the “meaningful” twist Gabby’s alluding too. Check out the clip on YouTube to experience it for yourself.

Jojo Siwa targeted by "swatters" after revealing she's part of the LGBTQ+ community

No Comments Entertainment News

Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images for Nickelodeon(LOS ANGELES) — Jojo Siwa has officially come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Over the weekend, the Nickelodeon star opened up in an IGTV, about how she’s happy to finally be living life as her true self. When it comes to Siwa’s sexual orientation and what label she identifies as, she admitted that she’s isn’t sure. 

“The only reason I’m not saying what I am is because I don’t know,” she said in a later video. “I know that I’m really happy and that’s all the matters.”

In that same video, the 17-year-old YouTuber shared that since “coming out to the internet” she has become a victim of “swatting.”

“Basically, there’s this thing called swatting. We’re at our house, and all of a sudden, there was a whole bunch of police telling us to come outside the house,” she explained. “We went outside, hands up, because you have to obviously follow the rules, and then the police were saying that somebody had called and made a claim.”

“And then, all of a sudden, paparazzi came from around the corner,” Siwa continued. “It’s called ‘swatting,’ where the media will actually call the police, so that way you have to come outside your house.” 

Swatting aside, Siwa maintained that she’s the “happiest” she’s ever been and even received support from her former Dance Moms co-star Abby Lee Miller.

Alongside a throwback photo of the two together, the 55-year-old reality star wrote, “I always knew the world would be a more colorful, positive, sparkly place with a kind, loving, dazzling triple threat like you in it – a shining example for the kids out there to live their BEST lives each and every day.”

Independent investigation underway after Tacoma Police officer hits at least 1 pedestrian with patrol car

(TACOMA, Wash.) — An independent investigation is underway after a Tacoma Police Department officer struck at least one pedestrian with his patrol car while trying to clear a crowded scene.

Officers responded to the intersection of South 9th Street and Pacific Avenue in Tacoma around 6 p.m. Saturday night after receiving “numerous reports” of an incident that was occurring there, according to a police press release.

When authorities arrived, there were several vehicles and about 100 people blocking the intersection, police said, but did not provide additional details on the incident. According to ABC Seattle affiliate KOMO-TV, the crowd was watching a “street sideshow.”

Officers then began clearing the intersection, but during the operation, police said people surrounded a police vehicle as the officer was stopped in the street. The officer, “fearing for his safety,” then tried to back up but was unable to do so due to the crowd, police said. He then hit at least one pedestrian while trying to escape, police said.

“While trying to extricate himself from an unsafe position, the officer drove forward striking one individual and may have impacted others,” the press release states.

A witness wrote on Twitter that the officer was in pursuit of a driver doing burnouts nearby. Video shared by that same witness appeared to show the back tires of a police SUV moving forward running over the victim as the crowd screamed in horror.

Another video posted to the social media site appeared to show the SUV driving into a crowd of people, knocking several over before running over the victim.

The officer then “stopped at a point of safety and called for medical aid,” according to police. The victim was transported to an area hospital.

Puyallup Police Capt. Dan Pashon, who is part of the team investigating the incident, told KOMO that two people were transported to the hospital. One victim has been released, and the other remained in the hospital as of Saturday evening, KOMO reported.

Additional information about the victims and their conditions was not immediately available.

The incident has been turned over to the Pierce County Force Investigation Team, which will conduct an independent review, police said.

Tacoma Police interim Chief Mike Ake said in a statement that he is “concerned” that the department is “experiencing another use of deadly force incident.”

“I send my thoughts to anyone who was injured in tonight’s event, and am committed to our Department’s full cooperation in the independent investigation and to assess the actions of the department’s response during the incident.”

Turbulent week of weather ahead with 3 different storms tracking across US

(NEW YORK) — A turbulent week of weather is ahead with three different major storms expected to track across the United States.

The two biggest takeaways form this extremely active weather pattern includes the increasing likelihood of a long-duration heavy rain and snow event coming to California that could have major impacts to the state.

Already this morning a quick hit of snow is moving through the upper Midwest and is quickly dropping 1 to 3 inches of snow.

The quick round of snow brought hazardous travel conditions to I-80 in Nebraska on Saturday night where ABC News affiliate KETV is reporting an accident caused two deaths and one injury after a car crossed the median and collided with a semi-truck.

There are winter weather alerts being issued this morning with more certainly to be issued in the coming hours.

A storm will bring some more mountain snow and valley rain in the Southern Rockies later Sunday and into Monday.

It will bring snow and ice to parts of the central Plains and Midwest and some additional severe weather will be possible across parts of northern Texas and Oklahoma where, locally, damaging winds and hail will be possible.

By Monday night, the snow and wintry mix will stretch from Iowa to New Jersey with the heaviest snow falling from northern Kansas into parts of Illinois.

Chicago, in particular, could quickly pile up several inches of snow on Monday night and a wintry mix is likely to cause slick roadways from Indianapolis to the Appalachian mountains.

As the storm slides east, it will have some trouble producing snow near the major northeast cities and this likely means that snowfall amounts near Philadelphia and New York will be kept in the low range.

On the snowfall forecast, locally over 6 inches of snow is expected from western Kansas to Chicago and a few areas of 3 to 6 inches is possible from the Kansas-Nebraska Border to Ohio.

It is important to note that the snow totals look quite low near the major northeast Cities and Chicago could easily pick up over 6 inches of snow from this storm on Monday night.

Another storm will quickly move into the western U.S. on Sunday and bring widespread mountain snow and heavy rain from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Locally, 10 inches of snow will be possible in the southern California mountains later Sunday and Monday which could make travel very treacherous.

As this storm moves across the country, it will bring another quick hit of snow to parts of the Midwest.

Once this storm reaches the East Coast, it remains unclear just how intense the storm will be and exactly where this storm will track.

Some computer models are indicating that a rather powerful storm will develop near the mid-Atlantic and bring at least some snow to the mid-Atlantic states by Thursday.

Given that the models aren’t in agreement on some of the most important details of this setup, uncertainty remains high at this time.

Also by the middle of the week, another separate storm will arrive in California and, as of Sunday morning, this storm looks to be the most concerning.

The storm will bring an atmospheric river of moisture to California that will bring torrential rain and extreme mountain snow for the second half of the week.

One of the biggest concerns is that California saw five of its top six fires by acreage in its history in 2020 and there is a tremendous amount of land there that is susceptible to debris flows and mudslides.

Additionally, there is an excessive rainfall forecast for the week and the region will become more susceptible to flash flooding with locally over 10 inches of snow possible in California this week alone.

Several feet of snow could make travel through mountain passes impossible and quite dangerous.
