It’s a wonderful weather forecast on the way for the entire civic holiday long weekend with temps from mid to upper 20’s.. and lots of sun. Here are the stories I have today.

Thomas Rhett tells Newsweek that he supports Taylor Swift during the tough week she is having as a result of her feud with Kim and Kanye. “She’s having a tough week, I feel for her. I’ll always be a fan of hers. I hate negativity in general. We as artists, we pour so much into our music and put out something we believe in… it sucks that people tear you down. It comes with the gig. I used to struggle with that pretty hard but now I feel it’s better than not having anyone talk about you at all. You have to shield yourself against it and believe in what you’re doing. If you’re a good person, that’s all that really matters. “She really is one of the nicest, smartest people I’ve ever met. The way that she treats people rubs off on me.”

Rascal Flatts star Jay Demarcus is going to guest star in Sharknado 4 this weekend. He plays the manager of the Shark World Hotel

Life & Style Weekly claims Miranda Lambert may be pregnant. A source tells the magazine: “There are whispers that Miranda is pregnant with boyfriend Anderson East’s baby. If she starts a family with another man, it would have to make Blake’s blood boil. His greatest wish was to have a baby with Miranda during their relationship. But now it’s Anderson by her side, and Miranda is thriving like never before. For Miranda, it’s the ultimate revenge at last.”

Gossip Cop claims the story is false

Billboard magazine claims Florida Georgia Line is launching their own brand of whiskey called Old Camp. Tyler Hubbard tells the magazine: “I think it’s been something that we’ve been putting off. Something that we thought would be cool for a long time. We’ve always been drinking whiskey, and I think it’s just something that’s been organically ordained and put together at the perfect time. It’s something we think is cool. It’s a little different than what we’re used to as far as songs and shows, but we’re enjoying it. It’s something that we’re passionate about, and we think it’ll be fun to get behind and be a part of and be proud of. We feel that we’ve developed our own sense of a camp out here on the road and back home in Nashville. That’s just how we refer to our tribe, if you will — it’s our camp. It’s got a name that will last through the years. It’s something we can build upon, we can represent a big amount of people — a lot of people can relate to it. It’s just got this cool vibe.

Brian Kelly says the whiskey tastes like peach pecan. ”We loved it. And because in the states of Florida and Georgia where we grew up, peaches and pecans are super common. I grew up with pecan trees and peaches in my backyard as a child and Tyler was in the same boat there. It hit close to home, and literally it was our favorite flavor when we were doing all the tasting last year. This was the one that really went down nice and felt like this is not just a whiskey drinker’s flavor. It tastes like a dessert. It’s nice to mix it up a little bit, even for the whiskey lover. The flavors give it a different kick and something that everyone can get down with.”

Carrie Underwood tells CMT that she is a fan of Queen and Freddie Mercury. “I’ve always been a huge fan and lover of Freddie Mercury. I would listen to him when I was a kid. He could do so many amazing things with his voice. People like that — who had incredible voices — I was always drawn to. I would want to try to do what they do. They were my teachers. When I work out, I like to listen to things that are really angry. I couldn’t do it on a daily basis or driving in my car. I think that would be kind of weird.”
