Williamson County Fair's 2025 theme, exhibits announced
The theme for this year's Williamson County Fair will be "Summer Nights and Fair Delights,' fair officials have announced. In addition to the new theme, a new accompanying logo will feature Buttercup, the fair's beloved cow featured in the annual 'Little 1s Farming' exhibit.
The fair will take place August 1 to 9 at the Williamson County Agricultural Expo Park, 4215 Long Lane in Franklin.
'We are thrilled to announce this year's theme for the 21st annual Williamson County Fair,' said Fair Board Chairman Paul Webb. 'With so many new and returning attractions, our goal is to have an event where fairgoers can have fun, create memories and celebrate our community.'
The fair began in 2005, and it has grown to a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that is organized to promote Williamson County and the surrounding areas. Besides rides and food vendors, the fair also holds pageants, exhibits, themed shows and livestock competitions.
Some of the new attractions that guests can expect to see are: K9s in Flight, a mini-golf agriculture-themed putting green, and a ventriloquist act.

Could a Taylor Swift new album be next? The 'TS12' Easter eggs in her letter
Taylor Swift sent her fandom into a tizzy with her surprise announcement on May 30 explaining she owns all of her music, but fans are now doing what they do best and dissecting every word, number and the letter in the note posted to her website. And the math is mathing toward her next era, which fans have dubbed "TS12." In the second sentence, she highlighted the word "this" with 12 i's. She also used three numbers in the text: 4, 6, 2 which add up to 12. There may be Easter eggs pointing to possible lyrics. When Swift gave her New York University commencement speech, she included lyrics to her, at the time, unannounced album "Midnights." She read lyrics from the song "Labyrinth": "breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out" and used the line "you're on your own." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) Two descriptive lines that jumped out are: "My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead." "All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief." Swift ended the letter by turning the head on one of her "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" songs "Mine": "the best things that have ever been mine… finally actually are."

Eric Church performs new music from 'Evangeline vs. The Machine' at ACM Awards 2025
Eric Church's performance of "Hands of Time" at the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards came just after the May 2 release of "Evangeline vs. The Machine," the most ambitious album of his storied career. Clad in a brown leather jacket and his trademark Ray-Ban sunglasses, Church delivered a rousing performance of the album's first single. The eight-track album features the accompaniment of a symphony-style orchestra, gospel choir and swampy, rock-style instrumentation. "Hands of Time" is the most solo-empowered and award-stage ready of the album's tracks. Notably, it name-checks artists who have inspired his latest, plus his eight prior critically-acclaimed releases, including Waylon Jennings, Tom Petty, Bob Seger and Frank Sinatra. Church said that the album celebrates artists' perpetual struggle against the music industry's fear-driven desire to make risk-averse music that "denies the faith artists need to have in their creative spirit to feel artistically or commercially fulfilled," in a press release. "Creativity is untamable and often requires faith for it to show itself. The Machine will often whisper, or even scream, doubt. Yet, the rewards were evident every time I stayed true to this path. An artist, musician, songwriter, or peer sending me a text, calling me, or stopping me somewhere in person and telling me (the risks I take) inspired don't think they could ever get away with that same risk themselves. The real truth is that they absolutely can and they absolutely should." Since its release, "Hands of Time" has climbed into the Top 30 at country radio after receiving Church's career-best 135 first-week station rotation additions. Church will also bring "Evangeline vs. The Machine" on the road to fans in arenas nationwide with his Free the Machine Tour. Tickets to most shows are available to the general public beginning May 9 at 10 a.m. local time (with the Philadelphia date on sale May 16).

Zoo Atlanta welcomes new resident to facility, paired with Bob the tiger
Zoo Atlanta is bringing a new furry resident to Atlanta and it means Bob the Sumatran tiger will have a new friend. According to officials, the Zoo welcomed Buttercup, a two-year-old Sumatran tiger, to Atlanta on Wednesday night. Buttercup came to Atlanta from the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oreg. As a new arrival to Zoo Atlanta, Buttercup will stay behind the scenes for a month or so during a 'routine behind-the-scenes quarantine period' before she can go out to explore the John P. Imlay Tiger Habitat.

'In the case of Sumatran tigers, the species' most urgent conservation challenges are ones we can all influence here at home in our own daily lives.' Zoo officials said the Sumatran tiger is one of the rarest cat species on Earth and is classified as critically endangered. There are only 400 believed to live in the wild on the whole planet due to 'serious pressures from habitat loss and habitat fragmentation, largely because of deforestation for palm oil plantations.' Officials said Sumatran tigers also face threats of illegal poaching for their bones and fur, which Zoo Atlanta said is believed to have medicinal values in some cultures.
