'It ain't ever been country music': Gavin Adcock riles up Beyonce fans about Cowboy Carter album
Georgia country artist Gavin Adcock, a Watkinsville native, is making headlines again, this time not for a viral stunt or chart-topping single, but for his take on Beyoncé's acclaimed country album Cowboy Carter. During a recent concert, the 26-year-old expressed frustration over the album ranking above his own on the Apple Music Country charts. "That s*** ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music, and it ain't gonna be country music," Adcock said. The crowd erupted in cheers as he followed up with his next song, which he called "some Southern f***ing rock." This shows the growing split in country music over what counts as 'real' country, especially when pop stars step in. Some of Beyonce's fans are outraged, even bringing race into it. Some of the comments under the post included: "Explain to me how 'Cowboy Carter' isn't a country album????? What elements is it missing outside of the hue of the singer?!?" "Tell country music to stop using Hip Hop and R&B beats" "Well, that is a country album, and she is doing country, because if it isn't, then Dolly wouldn't be considered country." "Man's upset that she's a better country artist than he is." "UUUUUUUUUUUUUM………. does he not know where COUNTRY music came from? racist mf." Adcock grew up in Oconee County, Georgia. Before he became a full-time recording artist, Adcock played football at Georgia Southern University, where he was a walk-on athlete. In September 2021, Adcock was suspended and removed from the team following a viral video showed him standing on top of a moving school bus and chugging a beer before a game. While the incident drew criticism, it also cemented his reputation as a wild-hearted Southern rebel, something his fans have come to embrace. Today, he's better known for songs like 'Deep End,' 'Ain't No Cure,' and 'A Cigarette." Adcock is currently on tour and will come to the Peach State in October, 2025: The Blue Room, Statesboro: Oct. 16 Akins Ford Arena, Athens: Oct. 17 For more about this country star and Georgia Native, visit Vanessa Countryman is the Trending Topics Reporter for the the Deep South Connect Team Georgia.

Morgan Wallen ‘I'm the Problem' Tour Setlist Unveiled Early
Morgan Wallen fans are getting an early look at his setlist ahead of the opening night of his upcoming I'm the Problem Tour on June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston, thanks to Apple Music Country. More from Billboard Hatebreed Guitarist Exits Tour Following Diagnosis of Brain Tumor Oasis to Launch Pop-Up Merch Stores Alongside Reunion Tour Dates in U.K. & Ireland Suge Knight Says Diddy's Peers Have Been Silent About Sex Trafficking Trial Because 'They Are So Scared' The 27-song playlist features not only many of Wallen's earlier hits, such as 'Whiskey Glasses,' 'More Than My Hometown,' 'One Thing at a Time,' and 'Ain't That Some,' but also many songs from the tour's namesake album, last month's I'm the Problem. Among the new songs on his tour setlist are 'I Got Better,' 'Love Somebody,' 'Kiss Her in Front of You,' 'I'm a Little Crazy,' 'What I Want,' 'Superman' and '20 Cigarettes.' To Apple Music Country, Wallen said, 'There's a bunch of songs on there that I'm excited to play,' noting that he's excited to sing 'I'm a Little Crazy' ('I love singing that song,' he says) and 'I'm The Problem' ('I already see how well it's doing,' he says). He also said it's 'the energy' that marks a major difference between hearing a song and seeing the artist perform it live in front of thousands of fans. 'I spend months at this point getting ready to get on tour, just getting in shape,' he says. 'I don't have to be in any kind of crazy shape to record in the studio. With how big my stage is, how much I run around, and how much effort that me and the guys put into it, I don't think you would know that by just listening to the record.' Wallen's I'm the Problem Tour comes just over a month after the release of his I'm the Problem album and the launch of his Sand in My Boots Festival. The trek will conclude with two shows on Sept. 12-13 in Edmonton, Alberta.
