This week,Toby Keith will become a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame — an honor he says will
stand alone among his many accolades. When asked to name his most important hit, one came to mind
immediately, but it’s not the one fans may be thinking of. It is “Should’ve Been a Cowboy.”
He says,“That song had to go stand on its own,” meaning he wasn’t a star when he released it as his
debut single in 1993. “(It) Busted through and set the foundation.”
Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley have been tapped to perform during the televised 39th Annual Macy’s
4th of July Spectacular on NBC. The show also features Kelly Clarkson, Meghan Trainor and more.
The fireworks and concert extravaganza airs on Saturday, July 4th on NBC, so set the DVR!

Kip Moore is 99 percent sure that he'll settle down and be married by the time he's 40.
That gives him five years to find the future Mrs. Moore.
But if his romantic history indicates anything, she'd have to be one special girl to make him
change his loner ways. Kip tells Glamour, "I’ve had some amazing people in my life that have really changed
my outlook on a lot of things... Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand myself, to be honest.
I’m aloof and so driven by what I’ve tried to accomplish with this. At times, I’ve wanted to disappear and
surf and be by myself, so it’s hard for me to juggle all that."
But Kip does have a celebrity crush- Shania Twain, so is she ever became available, there would be no stopping him.
