The Florida Georgia Line star revealed the news in an Instagram post today, noting that he’s been quarantining on his tour bus outside of his home in Nashville.
He announced the news by posting a photo of himself outside of the tour bus in front of his home. In the caption, he says he’s not experiencing any symptoms of the virus.
“Got the Rona. Asymptomatic. Quarantining on bus. Miss my family. Writing songs. Thankful,” he shares in the post, with many fans sharing their well wishes in the comment section.
The singer hinted about his quarantine situation in a post on Sunday night with a photo of the bus in the driveway and asking for fans’ guesses as to why he would have the tour bus at his house.
Tyler’s diagnosis comes two days before the 2020 CMA Awards, where FGL was previously scheduled to perform and is nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year. As of Monday, the duo’s name was no longer listed as performers on the CMA website.
As part of the guidelines for the CMA Awards this year, artists are required to get tested for COVID-19 prior to rehearsals.
Butterfly Records, LLCThe season just got brighter with Dolly Parton‘s new Amazon Music special.
The music icon has teamed up with the streaming giant for Dolly Parton’s Comin’ Home for Christmas on November 13.
The virtual special, hosted by comedian Leslie Jordan, sees Dolly performing a myriad of songs off her new Christmas album, A Holly Dolly Christmas, including originals “Comin’ Home for Christmas” and “Circle of Love,” along with her cover of the classic “Mary, Did You Know?”
The legendary performer will also join viewers for a live Q&A. Fans can submit their questions in the comment section of Dolly’s social media posts about the event, which is also raising awareness for her Imagination Library that gifts books to children around the country.
“The memories of home and the joy that surrounds the holiday season made Comin’ Home for Christmas the perfect title for this very special event with Amazon Music,” Dolly says. “Even though this year has in many ways kept us apart from one another, I hope this special will bring us all together!”
Amazon Music is also releasing a pair of bonus tracks from A Holly Dolly Christmas, “The Wishbook” and “Three Candles.”
The event streams on Amazon Music’s Twitch channel on Friday at 1 p.m. ET.
CMA Heading into Wednesday’s 54th Annual CMA Awards, Ashley McBryde has an impeccable record: she’s taken home every trophy for which she’s ever been nominated.
Last year, the Country Music Association named her its New Artist of the Year, and in 2020, she could add Album, Female Vocalist, and Musical Event to her collection.
For Album, Ashley competes against Miranda Lambert‘s Wildcard, Luke Combs‘ What You See Is What You Get, Jon Pardi‘s Heartache Medication, and Old Dominion‘s self-titled record.
“I was really excited to see Miranda’s record and Luke and Jon,” Ashley tells ABC Audio. “I mean, Heartache Medication is a fantastic record and I was really happy to see it get some recognition, too.”
“And I was speaking to Caylee Hammack,” Ashley continues, “and she said, ‘I had no idea how important nominations were until I had so many people I truly love and care about that are in these categories.'”
“And that’s definitely the way I feel,” Ashley reflects, “especially about Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year, because those are albums that I love and I get to go sit with them in that category.”
For Female Vocalist, it’s Ashley, Miranda, Maren Morris, Carrie Underwood, and Kacey Musgraves. But there’s no denying a win for the diverse Never Will would mean a lot.
“It’s a nice pat on the back and it’s a really good ‘Well done!’ stamp…” Ashley says. “If it was bluegrass, it was bluegrass. If it was bone country, we did it that way. If it was rock and roll, then we head-banged a little bit. And I’m so glad that it’s resonated and it’s getting some recognition.”
Ashley’s also set to perform on Wednesday’s show, which starts at 8 p.m. ET live from Nashville on ABC.
Scott Olson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — ABC News can characterize Joe Biden as the apparent winner in Pennsylvania, giving him 273 total electoral votes — a win that makes him president elect. Based on these numbers and those in other states, Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States.
ABC News was able to characterize Biden as the apparent winner of Pennsylvania after the state, as of 11:35 a.m., put Biden ahead with 49.6% of ballots cast (3,345,724) over President Trump’s 49.1% (3,311,310 votes).
Biden said in a statement Saturday, “I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris. In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America. With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal. We are the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.”
Saturday marks 48 years to the day that Biden, then 29 years old, was elected in his first Senate race on November 7, 1972.
For first time in history, the first and second in line to the presidency will be women: Sen. Kamala Harris as vice president, followed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, tweeted, “So proud of you” with a photo of him embracing his wife, the vice president elect. Sen. Harris’ win makes her husband the first ‘second husband’ in U.S. history.
For his part, President Trump released a defiant statement through his campaign, claiming, “this election is far from over” and blasting Biden for “rushing to falsely pose as the winner.”
Trump also promised a coming legal fight. “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,” he said. “The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots.”
The president again pushed unfounded claims that “Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room — and then fight in court to block their access.”

ABC/Image Group LADollyParton and her duet partner Michael Bublé become animated characters in the music video for their Christmas song, “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas.”
The cartoon clip, which is available to watch exclusively on Facebook, finds the pair holed up by a fire at “Holly Dolly’s Ski Resort” as a blizzard rages outside. Michael’s cartoon self plays piano as an animated Dolly, decked out in seasonal red, sings along.
Elsewhere in the video, the pair take on the role of Santa’s helpers, seeking out anyone who’s not in the holiday spirit and helping them to, y’know, “Cuddle Up” and “Cozy Down.”
The song comes from Dolly’s A Holly Dolly Christmas, the singer’s first full Christmas album in three decades. Her duet with Michael isn’t the collaboration on the project: Willie Nelson, Jimmy Fallon, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus and more also sing with Dolly on the record.
A Holly Dolly Christmas reached number one on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Top Holiday Albums chart after its early October release.
