Tanner Adell Dishes On Her Favorite Beauty Products, 613 Wigs And Being A ‘Big Baker'
Nothing is off limits for Tanner Adell. The self-proclaimed 'Trailer Park Barbie' made a name for herself through vulnerable lyrics that resonated with her fans. As a country genre gem, she has been transparent about her religious past, family dynamics, therapy methods, romantic experiences, and more. Adell is an open book inside and outside of the studio. In 2023, she released Buckle Bunny — an album that helped thrust her into the spotlight, bringing contemporary rodeo culture with her. Tiktok exploded with fellow 'buckle bunnies.' The project spoke to listeners who might have found themselves caught in between worlds or suffocated by stereotypes. They saw themselves in her colorful stories.

Adell climbed even higher by shooting her shot at Beyoncé in a fateful tweet. Not long after, she was at the Queen's side during Beyoncé Bowl. In a world full of people afraid to be cringe, she wasn't scared to be seen trying.
But despite her openness, she's a Buckle Bunny with boundaries. Putting yourself out there requires a serious amount of energy. Harvesting that energy requires pouring into yourself.

Adell considers self-care a non-negotiable. Before picking up that sparkly guitar and belting out hits, she puts care into the person behind the bops by focusing on hobbies, hosting, and healing. We caught up with Adell at the Crown Royal Pancake Palace pop-up to learn about the extensive self-care routine she uses so she can continue to 'Giddy Up Gorgeous.'
'Getting good sleep is really important for me, so I have a very strict nighttime routine,' she told HelloBeautiful .
Before working her way to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter she spent years perfecting her routine. She uses mantras to guide her. 'I think affirmations are really important. I try to take time to meditate and just kind of be in my own world for a second, because there's so much going on,' she said.
Natural products refresh her energy after 10 hour bus rides and 15 hour flights. 'One of my favorite things is a shower steamer,' she said. Calming fragrances help her reset. 'I'm a eucalyptus girl. I love a sea salt.'
Her signature 613 helped her become a country bombshell but the 'bleach blonde' is not playing about her naturally blonde locks underneath. 'My hair is always in braids, or it's in two little buns, but it's mostly in protective styles most of the time,' she said looking up through her glossy curtain bangs.
She avoids wash day sometimes, like the rest of us. 'I try to go as long as possible without washing my hair,' she admits.
'I'm doing heavy conditioner, lots of leave-in, lots of masks and things. But my favorite thing that I'm using right now is Donna's recipe,' she continued. 'It smells so good. The flavor is like sweet potato pie, which is one of my favorite things.' Source: Submitted By Crown Royal / Submitted By Crown Royal

She preserves her skin by double cleansing and Gua Sha massages she trusts to 'get rid of the puffiness for the day.'
'My favorite cleanser is tatcha and the glycolic acid from Dermalogica, so I'll do that,' she said. 'With the wig…I'm always gluing it down. So there's always the residue.'
Double cleansing is especially important when you're dealing with wig glue. Removing it fully prevents clogged pores or skin discoloration. 'I use Dermalogical facial cleansing oil,' she continued. 'I'll do it twice, so I'll do double cleanse and I'll get all the makeup off. And then I do it again, and I just massage my face.'
A smattering of honey brown freckles peeks through her full coverage foundation as she speaks. She embraces how they shine and retreat in different settings.
'You know, I think there's something beautiful about the way that our body changes and, and I don't think we should ever, feel bad about just the things that are natural in our bodies.'
Pursuing wellness doesn't stop her from having fun. 'I think the key to a good party is having good people around you,' said Adell. She sings about the whiskey blues but she didn't grow up sneaking sips.
'My parents don't drink. I didn't grow up around alcohol or around get-togethers where alcohol was being served. And so I've kind of had to learn as an adult from other people on how that works.' Source: Submitted By Crown Royal / Submitted By Crown Royal
Being able to serve pitchers of the signature Buckle Bunny cocktail she developed with Crown Royal at her home helped her get a feel for hosting. The sweet lemony concoction features muddled blackberries.
'I feel like it's something that has bonded me with so many people, especially my band,' she continues. 'We're constantly traveling together, but there's always bottles of Crown Royal in my dressing room.' They have bonded over night caps on the road. She loves having them over and gushes over serving them.
'I always love doing parties around Christmas time. I'm a big baker,' she said, gesturing to her guitarist. 'She has had many of my cinnamon rolls. I love making cinnamon rolls. I love baking for people, so that's one of my favorite things is having like a baked treat when I have get-togethers.'
Her skills stood out at the Lincoln County Fair in Star Valley, Wyoming. 'I've won blue ribbons for my strawberry rhubarb pie and my peanut butter cakes,' she added proudly.
Part of self-care is evaluating who you're aligned with. She felt comfortable working with Crown Royal on her tour because they respected her values.
They collaborated on a limited edition Y2K inspired Juicy Couture tee. Its proceeds benefit Women in Music, an organization close to Adell's heart. The non-profit seeks to 'educate, empower and advance women in the music industry.'
'Something that we really align on is how we give back. I think as a musician the most that I can do is pull from the depths of my heart and help other people heal.'

Beyoncé wins first Emmy, for 'Beyoncé Bowl' halftime show
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beyoncé has an Emmy to go with her 35 Grammys. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, her legal name, was listed as one of a half dozen people on a team that won outstanding costumes for a variety, nonfiction or reality show for 'Beyoncé Bowl,' her Western-themed halftime show on Netflix's Christmas NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. The show in her hometown of Houston brought the live debut of songs from her 'Cowboy Carter' album. The special Emmy is Beyoncé's first. She has been nominated for 10 others without a victory. And it takes her halfway to an EGOT with her 35 Grammys. She still needs a Tony and an Oscar to complete the quartet. The award was among a handful of so-called juried Emmys announced Tuesday that are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees, with no official nominees. They are usually highly technical — several involve individual elements of the animation process — and rarely go to famous names. They are announced in advance and handed out at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony next month. Beyoncé is also nominated for best variety special as a producer of 'Beyoncé Bowl' and for best direction of a variety special. Her husband, Jay-Z, is competing against her as an executive producer of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show.

Why all-Black rodeo events are 'so hot right now'
The nation's longest running Black rodeo is among a handful of events some say have seen a boost due to Beyonce's groundbreaking 2024 country album. USA TODAY This story has been updated. Call it the Beyoncé effect: One of America's biggest music superstars unleashed a stampede of excitement for Black rodeos across the country with her 2024 album "Cowboy Carter." Nowhere is that more obvious than in tiny Okmulgee, Oklahoma, home to the nation's oldest continuously operated Black rodeo. 'When Beyoncé released that country album, she told Black people it's okay to wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats,' said Danell Tipton, who now serves as arena director for multiple state rodeos, including what is now the Okmulgee Roy LeBlanc Invitational Rodeo. 'Black rodeoing is so hot right now, every event we go to," said Tipton, a former bull riding champ. "I haven't seen so many Black girls in cowboy hats and boots, ever. We've had our rodeos, but city slickers were never in tune with it. Now, it's like the floodgates opened.' On the weekend of August 9, the Okmulgee Roy LeBlanc Invitational Rodeo marked its 70 th year, the legacy of two dozen Black businessmen, farmers and ranchers frustrated with the second-class treatment accorded to Black rodeo competitors and their fans in the 1950s. Tipton has been going to the Okmulgee rodeo ever since he was a kid riding along with his family's roundup club, the Oklahoma City Paraders. The equestrian-minded community organization held weekend parades to precede Black rodeo competitions in rural outposts around the state, in places like Tatums, Clearview and Drumright. 'Okmulgee was always the last rodeo of the year,' he said. 'It was like our Super Bowl.' Situated 40 miles south of Tulsa, the Okmulgee Roy LeBlanc Invitational Rodeo is among the country's largest Black sporting events, according to event producer Kenneth LeBlanc. In 1956, LeBlanc's father Roy and grandfather Charles were among the founders of what was then called the Okmulgee County Roundup Club. 'Black people couldn't get into White rodeos,' said Marcous Friday, who has been the Okmulgee event's announcer for two decades. 'That's why they started the rodeo. Who would have thought that 70 years later, it's still going?' An old-school tradition Okmulgee was among a patchwork of Black rodeo circuit events that thrived in the 1950s and 1960s throughout the Texas Gulf Coast region and the area around Tulsa, according to Keith Ryan Cartwright, author of 'Black Cowboys of Rodeo: Unsung Heroes from Harlem to Hollywood and the American West.' 'A lot of Black rodeo cowboys got their start in one of those two areas,' said Cartwright, who now serves as assistant general manager of the Nashville Stampede, a pro bull riding team. 'Maybe they weren't from there, but they would migrate there in order to compete regularly.' Nearly an hour to the west, the Boley (Oklahoma) Rodeo is the oldest of all Black rodeos, dating back to 1903 – but with several interruptions along the way. Okmulgee has clung to its annual tradition like a bull rider refusing to be bucked off. 'This is the 70 th year, and there's no asterisk,' Cartwright said. 'They even found a way to have it in 2020." The 2025 event features more than 200 competitors, including dozens of calf ropers, team ropers, steer wrestlers and barrel racers. The atmosphere bears little resemblance to the big-money, corporate-sponsored spectacles broadcast on television. 'It's not some multimillion-dollar production,' Cartwright said. 'It's old-school.' 'When they come back to Black rodeo, there's a home for them' The rodeo's inaugural run was held north of town on leased land owned by the local White roundup club, Tipton said. When the club saw the event's success and significantly raised its rates the next year, the organizers of the budding Black rodeo decided it was time to find their own venue and bought 40 acres south of town, he said. That's where the Okmulgee Invitational rodeo was held until 1991, he said, when the all-Black event moved to the Bob Arrington Rodeo Arena, owned by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. By that time Tipton was starting to compete himself, riding bulls and wrestling steers. In 1998, he was named the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's bull riding and overall rookie of the year. Coming up in the pro ranks, Tipton said, fellow Black cowboys were a rare sight. Even now, he said, when he goes to events on the East or West coasts, 'they're like, 'Wow. Black cowboys.' They see White cowboys competing on TV every day.' Among the barriers, Tipton said, are finances and unfamiliarity with the logistical strategies necessary to qualify for the national finals, which are based on prize money won throughout the year. Competitors must navigate a network of seasonal events held across the country to finish among the top 15 qualifiers in their respective categories. 'There's so many Black cowboys who should be making tons of money,' Tipton said. 'A lot don't know the business side. So when they come back to Black rodeo, there's a home for them.' When he found success as a rookie and hit the pro circuit, Tipton said, he didn't return to the Black rodeo circuit for several years. But he always made sure to return for Okmulgee. 'The Jackie Robinson of rodeo' He wasn't the only one. Many of the Black rodeo greats throughout the years have frequented Okmulgee, among them Myrtis Dightman, often referred to as 'the Jackie Robinson of rodeo.' Dightman was among those featured during Beyoncé's Christmas Day halftime show during the Houston Texans' game against the Baltimore Ravens in December. 'He was the first African American to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo,' said Friday, the event announcer. 'He never won a world title, but he's the one who actually opened the doors for African American cowboys in rodeo today.' Dightman grew up on a ranch in Crockett, Texas, two hours north of Houston, where his father was a ranch hand and his mother helped work the fields, Cartwright said. He went to school when ranch work allowed, never learning to read. As a young man, Dightman found work as a rodeo clown and bullfighter but knew he had the skills to be an accomplished bull rider, Cartwright said. Like other Black rodeo hopefuls, he often wouldn't be allowed to ride until events were over. 'He quickly established himself not as a great Black bull rider but as a great bull rider,' Cartwright said. Eventually, the humble and well-liked Dightman would earn his way onto the circuit with other cowboys eager to compete against him. In the 1960s, Cartwright said, standards called for only two event judges, and all it took was one to poison a competitor's chances for success. 'It wasn't so egregious as to make them finish last,' he said. 'All they had to do was rob them of a point here or there.' But spread over the course of a season, Cartwright said, these sprinklings of bias had their effect, depriving certain competitors of prize money and dropping them several places in the standings. He believes that happened to Dightman and others. Dightman realized that despite whatever slights he might face, he could still claw his way to the finals if he competed in enough events to earn sufficient prize money. He avoided Southern rodeos and instead hit events in Texas, Oklahoma, on the West Coast and throughout the Midwest and Rust Belt. 'He thought, there's always going to be a judge that isn't going to let me win an event, but if over the course of a season I go to more events than anyone else, all my 2 nd places and 4 th places will get me there,' Cartwright said. 'He hustled and was very methodical.' In 1967 and 1968, Dightman finished among the three or four top-ranked bull riders in the world. While he never won the sport's gold buckle, Dightman knew he had accomplished something special, Cartwright said. 'I can't stress enough how good he had to be to finish third at a time when our country was facing the racial animus it did,' he said. 'He said to me, 'I wanted to be a world champion but I never were a world champion, but I was a world champion as a man.' He wasn't bragging on himself. What he was saying was that he saw something that hadn't been done and he wanted to do it and did everything he could to do it. I just find him to be heroic.' Legends of the sport In February, Tipton and Friday teamed up to produce their second annual National Black Cowboy Rodeo Awards and Gala in Oklahoma City. 'We've honored all the old cowboys the last two years,' Tipton said. Dightman, now 90, was among them; so was Charles Sampson, the former kid from Watts, California, who with Dightman's mentorship became the first Black bull rider to win a rodeo world title, in 1982. Both have been among the luminaries who polished their craft at Okmulgee. 'Myrtis and Charlie are legends,' Cartwright said. 'Not just among Black cowboys. They're legendary rodeo cowboys, period.' Before a bull rider's bucking chute opens, there is someone there to tighten the rope he'll use to hold on to for the duration of the ride, and riders are notoriously picky about who gets to do it, Cartwright said. 'When Charlie won the world title in the 10 th round, Myrtis was there and Charlie had him pull his bull rope for him,' he said. 'For him to wave off the guy who would normally pull his rope and let Myrtis do it goes to show that Charlie understood the significance of his moment and that the road to that moment was paved by Myrtis.' It's on that foundation that today's young Black cowboys will build on when they compete this weekend in Okmulgee. 'Okmulgee originated at a time when it was needed,' Cartwright said. 'There was nowhere else for them to go. It's a historic event.'

LiAngelo Ball Quit $3K A Month In The G League To Rap, Can You Blame Him?
Source: Christopher Polk / Getty LiAngelo Ball has made a big switch from basketball to music, and according to him, it was an easy choice. Swerving and bending that corner has made him more than posting up and shooting. In a recent interview with the Bag Fuel podcast, he shared that while playing in the NBA G League, he was only making $3,000 a month. As a grown man trying to build a life, that paycheck wasn't cutting it. So when he started getting paid from music, he didn't think twice. 'I wasn't sitting there like, 'Damn, I gotta keep hooping,'' he said. His song 'Tweaker' went viral and helped him land a major record deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group. The deal is rumored to be worth up to $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, a huge step up from what he was making in basketball. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. In July, Ball dropped his first album, League of My Own , where he opened up about some of the personal drama he's been going through. Earlier in the year, as 'Tweaker' was blowing up, his ex and mother of his children, Miss Nikki Baby, called him out on social media. She accused him of leaving her and their kids for another woman, Rashida Nicole, and said he was an absent father. Ball denied those claims and chose to respond in his music. On his song 'Wine N Dine,' he raps, 'They kick me when I'm down, so can you pick me up? / Say I'm a deadbeat daddy who don't give no f-cks.' The lyrics show that he's trying to tell his side of the story and express how all the drama has affected him. LiAngelo's move into music is about more than just the money; it's about doing what makes him happy and taking control of his own path. So far, it looks like that choice is working out. See social media's reaction to him switching careers below. LiAngelo Ball Quit $3K A Month In The G League To Rap, Can You Blame Him? was originally published on
