There are no limits with this song and I can't wait to see how the fans react."
"We love working with Zedd, who's not only been a great mentor, but a great friend. It's always exciting to see what we can come up with in the studio together and even more exciting to be able to share this with everyone," added Grey. Check out "The Middle"

In April 2017 my wife and I went from Sweden to Florida to attend my former drummer and his girlfriends wedding. We rented a car at Tampa airport and drove south to Sarasota. The wedding was awesome with people from many corners of the world.
After a few days staying in Siesta Key, awesome place by the way, we took off on our little road trip with Nashville as the end station. This was my first time driving in the US so I was thrilled about this trip. We drove north through Florida and into Georgia. I've never seen so much shopping malls. Almost one on each side on every exit.
One goal was to stay the night at a motel where you can park your car right outside, remember that we are from Sweden so that's a little exotic to us, and we found one south of Atlanta.
The day after we took off after breakfast and I was a little worried about the morning traffic but it was nothing compared to Stockholm that is the 6th worst city in the world when it comes to traffic.
The only thing we had planned was that we had to stop somewhere to buy a gift for my mother in law. She's into quilting so my wife googled and found a store in Murfreesboro, Quilt Connection.
The lady in the store was one of the most amazing person I've ever met. So friendly and sweet. We stayed there for two hours I think, watching her work on a quilt and we also talked to some people that came in. A great time indeed and we got a big doze of southern hospitality.
The scenery driving into Tennessee was spectacular with the mountains and the spring green trees and I will never forget it.
Going to Nashville is always a great time and I've been there a couple of times now and have some friends that I love to visit. This time we were there only for pleasure and no work. Shopping day time and party time at night J We also had the opportunity to visit Jill Johnson (the country queen of Sweden) as they were shooting an episode of her TV-show Jill's Porch.
Well that's about it. Listen to the song and you'll recognize most parts in the lyrics.

"At home, you comfortable as hell!" Offset told Rolling Stone. "You not gonna be like, 'Is this hard?' It's just you in your zone. 'Bad and Boujee' was made at my house!"
On Culture II, Offset promises "the original Migos sound�Club rocking. The beat, the bass is everything. We're not really a slow-down artist. It's light, it's fun, it's lit."
"It's still trap," Takeoff added. "We got a little funkier. It's not all the way funk. There's still a Migos vibe." Offset (who's engaged to fellow breakout MC Cardi B) said the album has a female audience in mind. "See, 'Bad and Boujee' was really a ladies' record," he said. "It made all of them want to stand up a little more and feel a little better about themselves. When you got the women, you got everything."

The album's autobiographical title track was written on the same day that country legend, Guy Clark, passed. "I'm not a pretty crier, and I got to my write with Jeremy Bussey that morning, red and blotchy," McBryde said in a press statement. "So, he said, 'for Guy, maybe we should write a good song, one you'd want to play at the Opry someday.' So, I told the story of when I was back in Algebra class, and we were going around the room saying what we wanted to do when we grew up. When it got to me, I said, 'I'm going to move to Nashville and write songs, and they're going to be on the radio.' The teacher looked at me and said, 'That won't happen and you better have a good backup plan.' It didn't put the fire out, it just added to it."
The album release announcement comes with a new music video from McBryde, "American Scandal." Check out the new clip, the full Girl Going Nowhere tracklisting and McBryde's 2018 tour itinerary

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week (Jan. 18) the Maroon 5 singer recalled a prank he pulled on Shelton after he won back in 2013. The singer had a giant poster of the People magazine cover framed ("this is not a cheap practical joke") and sent to Shelton's home in Oklahoma.
In turn, Shelton immediately hung the framed Adam Levine People mag cover--in his barn, where Levine says it hangs to this day. "I guess that lit a fire under him, and he wanted it. But he's not sexy," Levine said. Watch the full clip

The 33-year-old pop star shared that her very first memory is of Mickey and Minnie mouse diapers, so she's literally been a lifelong fan.

"Seeing Minnie is like returning home. It is a special skill to bring joy to so many and she does it with an effortless bat of a lash," she continued. Read more

Over the years, there have been some incredible moments for the genre of country music on the GRAMMY stage. So we have picked three of our favorite unforgettable moments from the GRAMMY Awards below. Relive the magic by watching these clips:
3. Carrie Underwood Wins Best New Artist Award: Carrie Underwood entered the country music world back in 2005 when she won season 4 of American Idol. Underwood released her latest album, Storyteller, in 2015 and embarked on a tour traveling all over the country. Watch below as Carrie Underwood accepts the GRAMMY for Best New Artist in 2007.

In 2015, Little Big Town won the GRAMMY for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
1. Keith Urban & Faith Hill's Collaboration: Personally, I think every Keith Urban performance is an unforgettable one. Urban took the GRAMMY stage back in 2006 with Faith Hill to perform 'You'll Think Of Me" and 'The Lucky One." The two country icons continue to give us some of the greatest hits today.
