Florida Georgia Line reunites onstage for first time in 4 years after split
Florida Georgia Line is back — at least for one night.
Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley shocked fans Thursday night when the duo reunited onstage for the first time since they split in 2022.
The surprise moment went down at Broken Bow Records’ annual late-night bash during Country Radio Seminar in Nashville.
The pair performed “You Make It Easy,” the hit they co-wrote with Morgan Wallen and Jordan Schmidt that Jason Aldean took all the way to No. 1 in 2018. Aldean was being honored at the event.
At one point onstage, Hubbard referred to Kelley as his “brother,” a telling sign that the duo may finally be on better terms after years of speculation about their relationship.
The Grammy-nominated pair announced their plans for an indefinite hiatus in February 2022 before calling it quits after their final show that August.
Despite rumors of bad blood, Hubbard recently insisted the split was never as dramatic as fans believed.
“This only became big and dramatic on the internet,” he said on a December 2025 episode of the “Human School” podcast. “There’s not a good guy, bad guy in this equation. There’s not a right or a wrong. Everyone wants to do that on the Internet. They want to say, ‘right, wrong, good guy, bad guy. Team BK, Team T-Hub.’ It’s not even like that.”
The singer explained the breakup ultimately came down to creative differences, with Kelley allegedly wanting to pursue a solo career while still keeping the group going — something Hubbard said he wasn’t on board with.
“BK stuck to his convictions and led with his gut and decided to make a decision based on his passion,” Hubbard said. “I set a boundary that I wasn’t willing to cross and it is what it is. We both accepted it way before the internet accepted it.”
Still, the distance took a toll.
“I hadn’t spoken to BK a lot in the last couple years,” Hubbard went on to admit. “But we’re going on a hike … I miss the guy that I was partners with for 10 years. I miss my old roommate, my best man on my wedding.”
On March 3, Hubbard and Kelley had reunited offstage for a family ski trip in Idaho — alongside their wives Hayley and Brittney.
“Proof that God’s timing is always better than ours,” Brittney Kelley wrote on Instagram. “This week was about healing, laughter, and remembering the “why” that brought us together in the first place.
“We left with peace about the past and a reminder that redemption is real and the future is bright.”
On Thursday night, Aldean had shown up expecting to play a song and leave, but was blindsided when a backdrop dropped to reveal more than two dozen No. 1 plaques, celebrating his milestone of 31 chart-topping hits.
Artists including Travis Tritt took the stage to honor Aldean, with Tritt performing “Night Train,” while others joined in throughout the night.

Proposed Georgia bill restricts voting to U.S. citizens
GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.

Social media reacts to Oklahoma’s dominant win over Georgia
The Oklahoma Sooners left no doubt in their 11-4 win over the Georgia Bulldogs to advance to the College World Series finals. It is OU’s second trip to the finals since 2022 but this one feels far more improbable.
A bubble team toward the end of the regular season and down 8-2 in an elimination game against Georgia Tech, Oklahoma has defied the odds and powered its way to the finals in Omaha. On Wednesday night, the Sooners hit five home runs against a Bulldogs team that led the nation in home runs per game this season.
Jason Walk got the home run party started, and Dasan Harris hit a pair of two-run bombs to help Oklahoma separate from one of the best teams in college baseball.
From the mound, freshman Nick Wesloski put together a strong performance for the Sooners, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 innings pitched. L.J. Mercurius worked 3.1 and allowed just one earned run against the vaunted Georgia offense.
Everything is clicking for Oklahoma heading into the finals, which begins on Saturday. They’ll face a good North Carolina Tar Heels for all the marbles. But before we get to the championship series, here’s a look at how social media reacted to the Sooners win over Georgia.
