Martina McBride has an app…
Rascal Flatts will finally open their bar in the Flats…

 

Martina McBride has an app! She launched Menu'd -- a meal planning app designed to save time and money. 
Menu'd includes recipes she's made for her own family, including healthy meals, vegetarian dishes and some that can go vegan.
Once you pick a recipe, the app automatically creates a shopping list. It is currently available only for Apple devices at the moment.

Rascal Flatts will finally open their restaurant, in the Flats East Bank, in Cleveland tentatively on July 1st. 
The country-themed restaurant and bar will be full of memorabilia and serve the guys' favorite dishes.  The venue will also host live music, including a performance by Rascal Flatts during the grand opening.

Blake Shelton gets cryptic on Twitter…
Miranda Lambert may have a new man… 

Blake Shelton's cryptic tweet yesterday has many fans wondering if he's throwing shade at his ex-wife Miranda Lambert. 
He writes, "Been taking the high road for a long time. I almost gave up. But I can finally see something on the horizon up there!! Wait!! Could it be?! Yep!! It’s karma!!"

Because… it seems Miranda Lambert has found a new man. 
According to sources, she's involved with Evan Felker of The Turnpike Troubadours, who have been opening shows on her Livin' Like Hippies tour. 
And where there is new romance there is a bit of drama- because, when the tour began in January, Evan was married, but he filed for divorce in February. His wife, Staci Nelson, filed 12 days after him. 
There's speculation that the relationship started while she was dating Anderson East and he was married. It had been rumored that Miranda cheated on Blake while they were married and vise versa- ohhhhh the world may never know!

Bebe Rexha thought about recording with LBT
Taylor Swift is happy “Babe” went to Sugarland 

Bebe Reha and Florida Georgia Line are number one on the country charts this week with "Meant to Be."
But Bebe thought she'd be working with Little Big Town until she got to the studio to work on the project.
She said, “I can’t lie. I had met Little Big Town at one of the awards [shows]. When I walked in the studio, I saw Tyler [Hubbard] there, and I said ‘Where are the other band members?’ I told Tyler and he started laughing.” 
"Meant to Be" is FGL's 14th number-one. 

Sugarland's new single "Babe," which was written by Taylor Swift and Train frontman Pat Monahan, has been sitting on the shelf for the past last six years. In a recent video posted on Instagram, Taylor says she's glad that the song found a home. 
She said, "It's a song that I wrote with Pat Monahan when I was making the Red album. I'm so happy that it gets its own life. I'm so happy that Sugarland wanted to record it and has done such a great job with it. And I'm so stoked to be able to sing on it too."

It is working out for everyone involved as “Babe” is the most added song in country radio this week.
