Adcock is no doubt one of country music's most unpredictable rising acts, with his rowdy anthems like 'Actin' Up Again' and 'Past Actions' to his heartfelt singles like 'Sober' and 'My Dear My Darlin.'
During his shows in Nashville, the hitmaker reportedly appeared on the stage with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand, according to Music Row, which also noted that cups of beer were flying through the air by excited fans.
Adcock even brought out country star Tracy Lawrence as a surprise guest, and the two sang a duet of 'Time Marches On,' which allegedly sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Chris Pratt shows off drastic transformation for 'The Terminal List' season 2
Chris Pratt gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at his dramatic transformation for "The Terminal List" season two, sharing a video from set on Friday. The actor appeared nearly unrecognizable with long hair, a full beard and a thick mustache, all part of a detailed prosthetic look for his character. "Isn't this hair and makeup incredible?" Pratt said in the video posted to Instagram. "My team does such an awesome job." Pratt, who plays Navy SEAL James Reece in the Amazon Prime Video series, explained the facial hair is fake, but realistic enough to cause issues during lunch breaks. "The crazy thing about wearing a fake mustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth," he said, joking about not knowing where the hair came from. "No. Anyways. I don't care. I'm hungry," he added before eating. Season two of "The Terminal List" is based on "True Believer," the second novel in Jack Carr's book series. The action drama follows a Navy SEAL navigating trauma and conspiracy after a mission goes wrong. Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch and Riley Keough return as part of the ensemble cast. Pratt's on-set update came days after he paid tribute to "Parks and Recreation" co-star Jonathan Joss, who was shot and killed on June 1. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt wrote in a post shared to Instagram Stories.

ICE Won't Rule Out Retaliating Against Immigrants Who Testify in Free Speech Case
Support Us © THE INTERCEPT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Plainclothes officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement wait in a hallway outside of a courtroom at New York-Federal Plaza Immigration Court inside the Jacob K. Javitz Federal Building in New York City on June 6, 2025. Photo: Charly Triballeau/AFP via Getty Images In March, a group of scholars filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block the government from detaining and deporting students and professors for speaking out about Palestine. Now, as the case heads to trial in Massachusetts federal court in July, those professors and students worry they may be targeted by immigration officials for speaking out in the courtroom on the witness stand. But the Trump administration is refusing to reassure them they won't be subject to retaliation. As attorneys for the scholars prepared to file a motion to protect their witnesses — many of whom are in the country under green cards or visas — from being detained or deported for testifying during trial, government attorneys refused to agree to such safeguards, according to recent legal filings in the case. In their refusal, government attorneys said that their clients, which include the Department of Homeland Security as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 'did not want to be bound by an agreement preventing them from taking action against individuals whose identities they did not know yet,' the filings said. When the scholars' attorneys clarified that the motion would only protect witnesses from being targeted for participating in the case, attorneys for DHS and ICE doubled down in their opposition to the protection and challenged them to instead have the judge decide whether to grant the order. 'Defendants' counsel reiterated that the agencies were 'not comfortable' with such a proposal,' the scholars' attorneys said in the filing, 'and advised us to 'go ahead and ask the judge to rule on it.'' Read our complete coverage The original complaint — lodged by the American Association of University Professors; its chapters at Harvard, Rutgers, and New York University; and the Middle East Studies Association — was filed days after immigration agents abducted Columbia University graduate and Palestinian organizer Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident who had recently obtained a green card. Among its defendants is Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has led the hunt for pro-Palestinian activists, including a campaign to scour social media for potential targets. The suit called such policies 'unconstitutional' and argues that the repression has 'created a climate of repression and fear on university campuses.' Since President Donald Trump's return to the White House in January, the administration has weaponized the United States' robust deportation apparatus to crack down on pro-Palestinian students and professors. The Trump administration has also punished universities for failing to address alleged antisemitism on campuses in its push to silence pro-Palestinian speech. The administration has canceled the visas of thousands of students and has cut federal funding from universities. Aside from Khalil, immigration agents have also abducted other students and scholars including Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri, Tufts University graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk, and fellow Columbia student protest leader Mohsen Mahdawi. While Suri, Öztürk, and Mahdawi have since been released, Khalil remains detained in a private immigration jail in Louisiana. The March complaint and supporting legal filings highlight more than a dozen students and professors, most of whom are green-card holders, who said Khalil's disappearance and the Trump administration's policy of targeting pro-Palestinian protesters has prevented them from attending actions, posting on social media, and continuing their research and writing on Israel and Palestine. One scholar said they had their scholarship on the topic removed from online and had turned down speaking opportunities 'due to fears that they will be targeted for deportation based on that writing and advocacy.' The motion filed on Wednesday by free-speech attorneys requests a protective order from the court, preventing possible government retaliation. In addition to the threats of deportation, many told attorneys they worried testifying would impact their future applications to become naturalized citizens. 'Noncitizen witnesses contacted by counsel have expressed concern that, if they testify at trial or are otherwise identified in connection with this case, Defendants will retaliate against them by arresting, detaining, or deporting them, denying them reentry into the United States, revoking their visas, adjusting their legal permanent resident status, or denying their pending or future naturalization applications,' the motion read. Aside from cases involving pro-Palestine protesters, ICE agents have shown in recent months they are primed for such courthouse arrests. Some agents have camped outside of courthouses across the U.S. to immediately detain people after judges dismiss their immigration cases, often denying their right to appeal their cases. Others have been detained and jailed in courthouse holding rooms after routine ICE check-ins and asylum hearings. The government is expected to file a response to the motion on Monday, after which the judge in the case, William Young, will rule on whether or not to grant the order protecting witnesses.

The newest female Dem power trio spotted at this Manhattan hotspot
They're the ladies on the left who lunch. The newest female Democratic power trio was recently spotted at the swanky Midtown restaurant The Polo Bar. Huma Abedin, the ex-wife of disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, broke bread with Hillary Clinton and George Clooney's wife, Amal, at the celebrity hotspot last week, a source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation. 'There were secret security and bodyguards everywhere,' the source said. 'They were just huddled together at a table talking.' 3 Huma Abedin served as vice chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and was her deputy chief of staff when she was secretary of state. Bruce Glikas/WireImage Abedin is tying the knot with philanthropist George Soros' son Alex, who controls his dad's $25 billion dollar Open Society Foundations, one of the world's largest private philanthropic funds that donates to liberal political causes. The 48-year-old — who started her political career as an intern for Clinton in 1996, then became her deputy chief of staff and vice chair of her 2016 presidential campaign — now runs the Democratic Party inside circle, Froelich's sources said. 3 Abedin is marrying George Soros' son Alex this month. Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Clooney, an international lawyer, and her hubby — who famously penned the 2024 New York Times essay 'I Love Joe Biden, But We Need A New Nominee' — are liberal icons and run the Clooney Foundation for Justice together. 3 An international lawyer, Amal Clooney helps run the Clooney Foundation for Justice. Corbis via Getty Images Abedin, Clinton and Clooney are now considered 'the female triumvirate of the Democratic Party,' Froelich said, adding that Adedin's wedding to Soros will take on June 14 in the Hamptons and may include the Dems talking about plans to revive the party. 'If these people are picking the new party head, we are in trouble,' an insider told her.
