On Friday night (Aug. 26) Gary Allan honored a longtime fan for her loyalty. When the singer heard that one of his biggest fans, Renee Wray, was planning to attend the show at The Cotillion in Witchita, Kansas, and that it would be her 300th show, he made the show special for her. When Wray arrived at the venue, Allan and his band were waiting backstage and surprised her with a private gathering, a custom-designed cake, on-stage seats and a specially-designed and handcrafted ring from Allan’s jewelry collection.

Rising singer-songwriter Tucker Beathard took the stage at the first-ever concert at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium on Saturday (Aug. 27). Beathard’s performance was part of a lineup that featured Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett and Big & Rich. It was also a full-circle moment as the venue also hosts games for the Iowa Hawkeyes; Beathard’s brother, C.J. Beathard plays starting quarterback for the team. Their father is songwriter Casey Beathard.

Tegan Marie made her first major television debut on ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday (Aug. 29), performing her current single “Lucky Me.” The 12-year-old Flint, Michigan, native is continuing to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from “Lucky Me” to the children in her hometown directly affected by the devastating water crisis. Marie became a viral sensation after her rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s hit “H.O.L.Y.” garnered more than 15 million views in just three weeks.
