For the longest time, the outside of the MSG Sphere was blowing people's minds. But now that the first concert has taken place in the venue, the world is finding out that the inside is just as crazy. If you aren't familiar with the new $2.3 billion (yes, with a b) venue, the sphere has kind of taken Las Vegas by storm. The state-of-the-art building started going viral this summer for all of the things it was doing with the LED panels on the outside. At one point it looked like a big basketball when it was helping promote the NBA Summer League happening there, and the various other patterns and 'light shows' they've rolled out with it have been mesmerizing.

I guess it's a pretty good sign that you'll have a successful country music career if your debut album makes it to the number one spot on the country charts. Just goes to show you that Randy Travis was destined for greatness from the very start, and he certainly announced himself to the world with Storms of Life , which was released in June of 1986, and then was number one on the U.S. Top Country albums 37 years ago to the day. At the end of 1987, the project was actually at the top spot on the year-end country charts.

Well, this almost makes up for missing the actual concert. A couple weeks ago, newly-signed Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker shared a funny story after he kicked the game-winning field goal against the Falcons in Week 9, which was his debut game with the new team. He told team reporter Lindsey Thiry that he was about to leave his house for a Carrie Underwood concert when he got the call from his agent that the Chargers wanted to sign him. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker says he was about to head to a Carrie Underwood concert last week when he got the call that LA was signing him.

If you wanna live like queen Dolly Parton, now's your chance. Her former East Tennessee home is officially on the market for a cool 3.5 million, and is located in Sevierville, Tennessee, not too far from Douglas Lake. Dolly's late parents, Lee and Avie Lee Parton, bought the 1,548-square-foot home in 1984, and Dolly took ownership of it after they both passed away in 2003. Dolly eventually sold it to a family friend, and it has been an event venue called Red Top for years now. The home was built in 1917, comes with 62 acres of land, and has three-bedrooms and 2.

The Grand Ole Opry has witnessed some pretty exceptional country music moments since its inception in the 1920s. The sheer importance and history behind that stage brings out the emotional response from performers, and they open their hearts up to give the audience their all. And one of the most underrated songs to ever be sung on the stage, in my opinion, would be LeAnn Rimes' rendition of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which provided the female perspective of the 1980 George Jones‘ love song. 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' received Song of the Year two years in a row (1980 and 1981) and withstood a remarkable 18 weeks in the number one spot on the Country Charts.
