Parker McCollum will return to RodeoHouston to headline for Opening Day of the 2023 Rodeo on February 28.

For the first time in 2023, the Rodeo will host a special Opening Day celebration that includes a performance by a local band on the Stars Over Texas Stage, presented by Phillips 66, and closing out with McCollum performing on the RODEOHOUSTON stage. Special giveaways will include 10,000 custom-made Howdy bobbleheads for early arrivers that morning and an Opening Day Parade on the grounds of NRG Park.

"February 28 will truly be a Houston-themed celebration, as we kick off the 2023 Rodeo season with Houston's-own country music star Parker McCollum closing out the day with another unforgettable RODEOHOUSTON performance," said Chris Boleman, Rodeo president and CEO.

Individual tickets for McCollum's performance go on sale to the public on October 6 at 10 a.m. through AXS Ticketing via rodeohouston.com.

McCollum became a RodeoHouston fan-favorite after performing for a crowd of 73,243, the fourth highest paid rodeo/concert attendance in 2022. Custom-designed caps have been created to commemorate Opening Day and McCollum's return to RodeoHouston and are available for purchase at rodeohouston.com. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo announced that the remaining line-up for 2023 RodeoHouston will be revealed later.

Marren Morris has launched a new shirt that reads "You Have A Seat at This Table" for GLAAD's annual #SpiritDay, which falls on October 20.

The phrase is emblazoned in the shape of a heart. 100% of the proceeds will go to GLAAD's work to support LGBTQ youth.

Morris is also working with Fandiem on a special sweepstakes supporting GLAAD to give her fans a chance to win two VIP tickets to her Humble Quest show in Nashville with an exclusive virtual meet-up with the singer.

During this year's #SpiritDay, participants are encouraged to wear purple (the color that symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag) or go purple online in a united stand against bullying and show of support for LGBTQ youth.

speaking in a new interview with GLAAD, the country music star opened up about her support for the LGBTQ community.

"I had friends in high school, I did a lot of community and musical theater growing up and so, it was just always very normal, to have gay people around," she told GLAAD's Anthony Allen Ramos.

Morris recently defended the trans community on social media, saying that it is important to let people know where you stand on important subjects because those people want to come to her show and feel safe.

LeAnn Rimes recently released a video for "Spaceship," a song from her new album God's Work.

LeAnn Rimes recently released a video for "Spaceship," a song from her new album God's Work.

The intimate visual features Rimes' husband Eddie Cibrian. Rimes, who wrote and produced the song with Darrell Brown, co-produced the video with Cibrian and Brown.

Cibrian directed the video and edited it alongside Julian Andraus. Tonia Wallander served as digital editor.

The video shows Rimes in a desert setting while sporting just a brown blanket and a range of tense emotions. Towards the end, she drops the fabric and walks into the distance while in the nude.

"It was such a special moment to have my husband capture the essence of my soul in this video," Rimes said. "Seeing as it was just the two of us, out in the middle of nature, really allowed me to expose my most primal, emotional self. He has an incredible eye and knows me so well." Rimes said she and her husband stopped over in the Alabama Hills while returning from an RV trip.

"So, with no clothes, no makeup or hair, just completely bare, and through a lot of tears and laughter, we shot four takes of the song," Rimes said. "That's the video! I don't think I've ever had a more raw, pure experience captured on film."

Eddie noted that the filming experience was "intimate, emotional and powerful."
