Country Star Brad Paisley 'Taken Into Police Custody' Mid-Show
gave fans a night to remember when his latest concert turned into a full-on comedy sketch involving local police officers. During the show, the country star invited several officers on stage, jokingly telling the crowd, 'They are the ones who said this is a speed trap, not me.' Moments later, Brad Paisley handed out guitar picks to the cops with a grin, quipping, 'It's not a bribe," though it clearly is. Brad Paisley's Hilarious Concert Prank Involving Cops The bit only got better when Paisley launched into his hit 'Mr. Policeman' and sang: 'I'm in the jailhouse now / I'm in the jailhouse now They told me once or twice / Son, respect my authority I'm in the jailhouse now.' The playful moment was captured by fans on TikTok, with one video racking up thousands of views. The caption read, 'He was let off with a warning after he reportedly bribed the officers with free guitar picks.' Viewers had a field day in the comments, with one fan clarifying, 'It was part of the show he brought them on stage his self' while another added, 'That's totally a Brad Paisley joke.' Others praised his creativity, with one person writing, 'Man sure knows how to put on a show don't he?' Paisley Brings Bridgeport Police Onstage For Unforgettable 'Mr. Policeman' Moment The Bridgeport Police Department also shared a video of the hilarious moment. Once the song wrapped, the country star shook hands with each officer to loud cheers from the crowd. 'Being invited on stage was something our officers will never forget, and it meant a lot to everyone in the department,' Bridgeport Police wrote on Facebook. 'To Brad Paisley and his crew, thank you for standing with law enforcement and showing that support in such a meaningful way.' The department added that officers had escorted Paisley from Oxford Airport to the amphitheater before the concert. Brad Paisley Recalls College Chase With Police Paisley's playful run-ins with police aren't just for the stage. In a 2015 interview with Car and Driver, the country star admitted that the inspiration behind 'Mr. Policeman' wasn't entirely fictional. He recalled a college memory of flying down a winding West Virginia mountain road at nearly double the speed limit when he spotted a police cruiser turning to follow him. Instead of pulling over, Paisley floored it, ducking into a driveway and shutting off his lights to evade the officer. 'Sure enough, 30 seconds later, the sky lights up and it's the police car with sirens blaring. And he goes right by,' Paisley said, adding that another unlucky driver ended up getting pulled over in his place. While he laughs about it now, Paisley admitted there are moments he'd do differently, especially the night in Nashville when his Firebird was totaled after he pulled out onto a slick road at midnight. 'I didn't know I was hit until I was spinning,' he recalled. Paisley Hits The Road On 2025 'Truck Still Works World Tour' Paisley is currently crisscrossing the country on his 2025 "Truck Still Works World Tour," named after his latest radio single, 'Truck Still Works.' The track, which Paisley debuted last fall during NBC's "People's Choice Country Awards" and later performed at the "American Music Awards 50th" anniversary special on CBS, has quickly become a fan favorite and the centerpiece of his live shows. The tour has been drawing packed crowds with a mix of Paisley's signature hits, heartfelt ballads, and his trademark humor. Brad Paisley Mentors Next Generation Of Country Talent On 2025 Tour But Paisley isn't just hitting the road for his "Truck Still Works World Tour." He's also using it as a platform to spotlight the next generation of country talent. The singer has invited rising artists Avery Anna, Mae Estes, and Alexandra Kay to join him on select dates, giving them the chance to perform in front of his massive audiences. 'I'm thrilled to be able to do that,' Paisley shared with Country Now about the mentorship opportunity. 'To me, it's like there's a real emerging crop of super talented people that have bridged this…there was an awkward phase I think in music where everybody was a TikTok star for a second, and we are a little bit past that now," he continued. "People have learned there are some real artists. I feel like these are an example of that.' With more dates still ahead, Paisley's tour is shaping up to be one of the summer's hottest tickets.

Bob Dylan's Iconic Woodstock Recording Home is For Sale—Take a Rare Peek!
It's not every day that you can buy a piece of music history, or at the very least tour it. The iconic home where Bob Dylan recorded much of his music is officially up for sale and you can take a look at it right now. You can find the New York home in Woodstock, N.Y., which is already known for a major piece of musical history thanks to the legendary Woodstock Festival of 1969, which took place in nearby Bethel, N.Y. But aside from the music-making aspect of its history, this 111-year-old house is full of historical charm and set on a beautiful 70-acre estate. Get a glimpse inside the home where memorable music was made and legends created their music. A look at the estate's famous guests and musical rootsThere is a little more history to the Woodstock home that you may be interested in. Built in 1914, the stone house was once owned by cartoonist John Striebel, creator of the Dixie Dugan comic strip. But later on, music manager Albert Grossman purchased the home and brought in numerous legendary voices. Located at 18 Striebel Road, Woodstock, New York, the home has four bedrooms, four baths and tons of notable features, including its stunning woodwork, wood-burning fireplace and a peaceful front porch. The property is currently listed on Zillow for just shy of $5 million. Along with the main home, the property includes Viking Hall next door to the main house, which features 'a bright and open studio area, ideal for artists, musicians, wellness practitioners or remote work. With hand-hewn beams, loft space, French doors, and spa-like amenities—including a sauna, steam shower and soaking tub—the space combines rustic elegance with modern comfort, perfect for creative retreats, workshops or wellness sessions.' Part of the estate is also the Farmhouse at Speare Road, which includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and would be perfect as a guest house. There is also a 'charming cabin complete with a bedroom, bathroom and cozy kitchen.' Along with its beauty, musicians like Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, George Harrison and even the Dave Matthews Band have wandered through the home and the walls have heard their voices. The legendary album that was recorded here Whether you know the Woodstock home, it's likely you've seen it before even if not in person. You might recall the cover of Bob Dylan's fifth studio album, Bringing It All Back Home, where Dylan posed with model Sally Grossman in the stunning living room of this home. The album's most memorable songs include 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' and pieces of the renowned album were also recorded in the home. If you're interested in seeing inside the iconic home that witnessed music history, it is available to tour and is currently on the market. Keep reading for more entertainment!
