Country music is mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, who died at 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Brandon finally picked up his new glasses—and is now having a full-blown identity crisis. It’s also National Dog Day! Brandon is celebrating Murphy Lee and Ace, while Kelly is celebrating Bones and Potts—although, honestly, isn’t every day Dog Day? Lainey Wilson puts her spin on Chris Stapleton’s “Whiskey and You,” and could Taylor Swift officially be returning to country music? Plus, A-State football opens its home schedule September 12 with a free Lauren Alaina concert, giveaways, fireworks and more during “Paint the Vault Red.” Get all the details at AStateRedWolves.com.
