Friday night Miranda Lambert finally confirmed all the rumors when she posted a photo with her new boyfriend, musician Anderson East; looking cozy under her plaid jacket. She wrote, “the snuggle is real…” Anderson’s stepdad Randall Ennis confirms they’ve been dating for “a couple of weeks.” She’s 32; he’s 27 and friends says he’s mature enough to handle a high-profile relationship. He also lives in Nashville and is an avid hunter and has horses so they have a lot in common. They’re also both on the upcoming tribute album, ‘Southern Family’ so maybe that’s how they met.

A source says Blake Shelton’s “happy for Miranda and glad that they can both move on in 2016. He knows who Anderson is as they’ve met a couple of times and Blake thinks he’s a cool guy.”

Friday morning Dierks Bentley did his 14th annual Polar Plunge at Nashville’s Percy Priest Lake. He and some friends slowly and quietly walked into the lake then he turned around & did it again.

Finally – Garth Brooks says 2015 was the greatest year of touring he’s ever had and says he can’t thank fans enough for showing up in “jaw-dropping numbers.”
