Faith Hill makes first public appearance at CMA Fest since her daughter came out as queer
Faith Hill made her first public appearance on Friday since her oldest daughter, Gracie, 28, came out as queer. The Grammy winner, 57, attended the CMA fest alongside youngest daughter Audrey, 23. Hill, who stepped out of the spotlight nearly a decade ago, shares both girls, along with daughter Maggie, 26, with her husband and fellow country superstar Tim McGraw, 58. The downhome diva showed her country chic style wearing a vintage Bruce Springsteen T-shirt tied at the waist with apricot denim pants and a black leather jacket. The star wore a taupe toned western hat over her dark blonde waves. Her look-alike daughter Audrey kept her look simple opting for a white T-shirt and jeans. Her long, dark hair was styled in long waves. The Thunder singer will be opening for Brandi Carlile on The Lost in Time tour, which begins in London June 24. Hill was seen chatting behind the scenes with artist such as Jelly Roll and Rita Wilson. Neither Hill nor McGraw has said anything publicly about their daughter's Pride announcement on social media earlier this month. She reshared a previous post which read 'EVERYONE GET MORE GAY NOW!' and writing beneath it, 'Happy freaking Pride. I love being queer.' 'Let me be VERY clear here,' she wrote June 4 in in Instagram Stories, 'I've been an out and proud queer, bisexual woman and I wouldn't have it any other way.' 'I have and will always be very vocal of my support of LGBTQIA+ rights and the community....' In another post she again identified herself as bisexual telling a critic, 'I absolutely have stated that I'm bisexual multiple times throughout the years,' so the news came as no surprise to her parents. Both were there to see the young singer and actress make her debut at Carnegie Hall in The Great War & The Great Gatsby which will air on PBS on Veteran's Day. Gracie will make her film debut in the upcoming Tox lead by Margaret Colin. The plot focuses on a woman, who after years of being obsessed about being perfect, returns to her home town for her high school reunion, sure that her newfound beauty fill erase the past. No release date has been announced for the independent film yet.

Speaking exclusively to Shots! TV, the sculptor explains: 'Hours and hours pass by, I just get lost in it. When the muscle tone starts to take shape it really spurs me on to keep going.'

Helena Mellenchip, willow sculptor | Lucinda Herbert Helena started the quirky hobby around 15 years ago, when she attended a simple basket weaving class in Cornwall. But other artists on social media inspired her to get more inventive - and recently was commissioned to do an art trail for the grounds at Lytham Hall in Lancashire. In the latest episode of Shots! TV's weekly series, Helena shows video journalist Lucinda Herbert around the garage, where she creates her stunning sculptures. And, the artist has a workstation where she does all the metalwork before building upon the structure with twigs. 'I took a basic welding course. Underneath the willow is a steel structure and some require a lot of metalwork.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Artist Helena soaking willow twigs. | Lucinda Herbert From the animated Gromit on a motor scooter, to a life-like lioness and cub, the art trail has been 'mesmerising' people of all ages, since it opened at Lytham Hall on Good Friday. Hall manager, Peter Anthony, says: 'Everyone has been totally mesmerised by them, from youngsters right through to the grandparents. They have gone down a storm and I haven't heard a bad thing said about them.' Artist Helena Mellenchip with her fantastical giant owl, at Lytham Hall | Lucinda Herbert Helena praised Lytham Hall for giving her a huge amount of freedom on the project - which has kept her busy for over 12 months. She adds: 'They weren't specific, so I just wanted to make fantastical things.' There are eight sculptures in total - ranging from life-like animals to a fantasy-inspired giant owl. In the video above, Helena explains that her favourite is a chimpanzee which can be found swinging from the branch of a tree in the hall's grounds. 'Without sounding crazy, I feel like when I look into his eyes we can have a conversation. I've been looking at him now for such a long time, and I miss him. But I'm glad that people can enjoy them now.' While the lioness and cub look almost life-like, the giant boxing hares near the lily pond were done with 'comedy value' in mind - and seemed appropriate as the trail started over the Easter weekend. Mr Anthony, who commissioned the trail, described this as possibly his favourite. 'Not many people are saying this but I love the boxing way they are looking at each other. I think it's great.'

Single mum transforms rented home with colourful graffiti-art murals on fridge and garden fence
This video More videos A single mum has transformed her home and garden by painting flowers and fantasy creatures on her fence - and a colourful mural on her fridge because it looked 'grey' and 'boring'.

Omani Hamer said it 'didn't seem right' that her family was eating from the 'boring' fridge-freezer - so she painted a colourful mural using spray paints. Omani, who also goes by the name OneHopeArtistry, has also jazzed up her garden with beautiful flower murals and cartoon characters.

Photo credit: Lucinda Herbert | Lucinda Herbert 'I asked my landlord - he said yes' When she moved into her rented home, the fence panels were plain - but she wanted to make the garden a more colourful place for her little boy to play. So the single mum, who used to work as a professional SFX make-up and body paint artist, asked her landlord if she could paint them - and he said yes. Since then, Omani has transformed her living space - and has even painted her car and fridge. 'I need to paint that fridge right now' Omani tells Shots! TV: 'My food was coming from a grey, cold box. That wasn't right, it needed to be something it dawned on me. I need to paint that fridge right now.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Omani Hamer with her fridge mural. Photo credit: Lucinda Herbert | Lucinda Herbert So Omani used old wrapping paper to protect her kitchen, and used spray paints to design a free-hand mural. She describes it as a mouth with a 'saliva' waterfall that goes into some rainbows - as a metaphor for the ritual of eating. 'Now I love that fridge.' Youngster painted toy car Omani lives with her five-year-old son, and she aims to inspire him to be creative too. The youngster has even started following in his mum's footsteps - and has painted his own toy car. Omani adds: 'He says it blows his mind!' Omani Hamer painted her fence with a flower mural.
