CAM: Stuck on Stage


Sometimes artists get caught in the moment and stay on stage a bit longer than they should, but star literally got stuck in the spotlight. During a recent show at the Opry, Cam was attempting to exit the stage, but her heel got caught in the historic wood of the stage.

Luckily for Cam, someone documented the moment, and Cam posted it on her Instagram, saying, “Aaaannd my high heel got stuck in the historic wood of The Circle last night. Ha! Thanks for giggling with me! I guess there are worse places to get stuck.”


RORY FEEK: Honors Late Wife's Memory


For the past few months, Rory Feek has been documenting life after his late wife Joey on his blog, This Life I Live. And he fulfilled one of her last wishes recently.

Over the weekend, he posted a touching story about Joey telling her sisters of the couple's adventures out west. Most of her family had never been west of Illinois. And she asked Rory to find a way to take her family out west during the summer, knowing she would not be a part of the adventure.

Rory did just that -- posting an adorable tribute to his late wife and sharing the story of taking her family out to one of her favorite spots for vacation. The group started in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a few days and drove through the Grand Canyon to a nearby cabin for the remainder of their trip. It was the vacation of a lifetime.



DAVID NAIL: Fertility Struggles



The struggle David Nail and his wife Catherine had with infertility was a low point in his life.

He tells the Tennessean, “I was embarrassed for the longest time. A lot of what we dealt with had to do with me. And as a man, you definitely don’t want to hear that. It’s your job to provide and be a husband and a father, and she had dreams of being a mother."

The Nails eventually conceived via in vitro fertilization, and the twins Lawson and Lillian were born in December. That blessed event gave birth to "Babies," a song on his new album, Fighter, which is out now.
