One Direction Fans Angered Over Amy Schumer Joke

The joke focused on something fans probably don't want to think about: the possibility that the four guys could eventually replace Zayn in the lineup. Of course, the remaining 1D-ers, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Liam Payne, have said they have no plans to find a new member, but who can help but joke about the prospect?

Certainly not Amy Schumer, who poked fun at another big announcement that happened Sunday. "Of course, I have to mention the big news today," Schumer told the crowd. 'After months of speculation, Hillary Clinton finally announced she's taking Zayn's spot in One Direction. The first woman in One Direction. I never thought I'd live to see the day!"

Yeah, Directioners weren't into it. Even tweeting their disapproval. See some of the tweets and watch Schumer's joke here.

Yelawolf Releases New Collaboration With Eminem 'Best Friend'

But the story of the duo's pairings is not over yet. Eminem is the only feature on Yelawolf's upcoming new album Love Story, and today brings a full stream of that song: "Best Friend," was released Monday (April 13).

"Best Friend" has some definite Everlast vibes, Yelawolf crooning the verses and chorus with a laid back vibe over a mid-tempo beat. The song takes off when Em joins in on the bridge, contributing a double-time rap that graduates from subdued to fierce, slowly rising in its intensity from start to finish, Em at a forceful yell by its end. Listen here.

Michael Bolton Performs IRS Love Letter On 'Last Week Tonight'

On Sunday night's episode of John Oliver's HBO talk show, he brought out Bolton to croon a new song written about tax season. It starts off innocently enough, with delicate piano and Bolton's croon of "I could hardly believe it/ When I heard the news today," seemingly straight out of some sort of Lee Greenwood-esque patriotic anthem.

After awhile, two things are clear: first, this is a parody of "How Am I Supposed to Live without You?"; second, it's a love letter to the IRS. "But we need you real bad/ Though it's clear nobody likes you," Bolton sings. "You're the anus of our country, don't you know?" Read more and watch it here.

Sam Hunt Reacts To ACM Awards New Artist of the Year Nod

"It's such a big deal," Hunt tells Radio.com of his nomination. "It's such a morale boost for the team and everyone who has been working so hard to progress this whole project and everything that we're doing. Not that we're down and out or anything, we've had so many really cool things over the last several months."

Hunt added how great it was to get an endorsement from the ACMs and the fans that voted. While he's had what he calls "little victories" to celebrate throughout the year, he said the ACMs is something he's really excited to be a part of.

"I feel like we are very new to this world and we have a long way to go and definitely still have to prove our being worthy of belonging," he says humbly. Read more here.

See Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly in the First 'Ant-Man' Trailer

Ant-Man will be in theaters this summer July 17, and the first trailer was just released today. The film stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang (the Ant-Man) and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym (the creator of the Ant-Man suit who in the comics was the original Ant-Man, but that doesn't appear to be the storyline here).

Ant-Man also features Evangeline Lilly, Judy Greer, Bobby Canavale and T.I.It just might be the summer's 'smallest' blockbuster. But that doesn't mean we're not excited. Watch the trailer here.

Ed Sheeran Receives 'Game of Thrones' Sword

The sword was a gift from a New Zealand radio station who knew how much he loved the show. And, it's safe to say, that Sheeran was not expecting this at all. He's so genuinely excited about opening it, even uttering the F-word.

"This is like one of the best birthday presents I've ever got," he said before noting he wanted to get the real Jon Snow, actor Kit Harington, to autograph it for him.

Sheeran was so excited about the gift, he later took to Instagram to say "it's the best thing that ever happened ever." Watch the video here.

Dierks Bentley Still Challenges Himself On The Road

Every performance has to be a challenge, both for him and his audience. "Every night before I go on stage, in front of me, there's a mountain that has to be climbed. There's no easy way around it, I have to make the climb."

For a guy who spends some 120 days a year touring, it's exactly that kind of challenge that keeps the process exciting for him, night after night. "It's never been about 'putting on a show,'" Bentley says of playing live, "it's about going through this metamorphosis."

A different set of challenges faces him in the recording studio. But as he found out with his most recent album Riser, that can also be extremely rewarding.

The work he put into that album obviously paid off. Not only has it been chock full of strong songs ("I Hold On" and "Drunk on a Plane" both reached No. 1, and "Say You Do" is getting close), it earned an Album of the Year nomination at the 2015 ACM Awards, one of seven Bentley received this year.

"It's a really weird deal," Bentley says. "Seven is my lucky number, it's on my guitar picks. This is my seventh album. And to have seven nominations is huge." Read more here.

Singled Out: Lyal Strickland's You'll See

'You'll See' came as a response to jokes and doubts. My buddies have joked about me being afraid of commitment for years - I have trouble choosing from an expansive fast food menu. However, they seem to think that's indicative of my love life as well. I've always taken things a little too personally, but I'm usually able to bottle it up until I can get to a guitar. At the time I wrote 'You'll See' I was in a long term relationship and I think everyone was wondering if it would transition into marriage or not. As things go, it didn't, but the song is my way of saying that when things are right, I won't hesitate.

It's also one of my songs that directly mentions what I do with myself when I'm not strumming for strangers; raising grass fed organic beef on my Great Grandfather's farm. Cattle seems to be a bit of a clumsy metaphor for a love song, but I've always seen parallels. For 'You'll See' I couldn't get the thought out of my head of a cow's life on the range versus the farm. Sure the range is a great wide expanse with endless opportunities, but there's got to be something comforting about always knowing where the good creek is and never worrying about not having a safe, grassy field to bed down in. There's a good possibility I just read too much into it, but regardless, it birthed a song.

The unknown tidbit about this song is that it inspired the album title. On the way home from the studio one day, I was playing the day's mix for my mother. When it was over she was saying how much she liked the line "...just like a bluebird on barbed wire", only she bungled it and said "Balanced On Barbed Wire". It was a perfect representation of where I am in my life, and where many of my friends and neighbors are as well. Walking a tight rope that twists and turns and makes you jump every so often just to avoid being nicked.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and watch him perform it here and learn more about the album right here!

Wait there is more!
