Michael Ray

Ray went countrier than ever for "Whiskey and Rain," and that's just the beginning of his traditional-minded next chapter.

In debuting a new song earlier this month the "Next Girl" singer once again looks to have dug deep into her personal narrative.

This is so sweet!

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

"It's funny, we get married, and then, two nights later, we're gone again, separately ..."

For one thing, there will be "a lot of love songs," Ray says.

He couldn't help but cry — he had to leave the stage.

The pictures are adorable and the ring is beautiful.

Ballerini will play her hit duet "This Feeling" alongside the Chainsmokers during the special, which will also feature artists such as Dua Lipa, Ella Mai and Charlie Puth.

All signs point to the two singing together on Pearce's next album.
