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.
Georgia baseball will resume its NCAA Athens Regional game with Long Island at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, after persistent rain—heavy at times—forced the suspension of the game.
The Bulldogs have a commanding 15-1 lead with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth.
The teams and some fans waited out a delay that started 7:14 p.m.
The game was suspended officially at 9:06 p.m. Long Island players were already grabbing their equipment in the dugout to depart for the team hotel before then.
The winner of Georgia-LIU will play No. 3 seed Liberty Saturday in the double-elimination tournament in a game scheduled for 5 p.m.
The loser will play No. 2 seed Boston College at noon.
The No. 3 national seed Bulldogs hit six homers before the game was delayed due to heavy rain.
There was a 53 percent chance of rain at 9 a.m. Saturday, according to weather.com, decreasing to 17 percent at 11 a.m., but there’s a threat of storms in the afternoon.
The Georgia Public Service Commission this week approved a plan expected to reduce utility bills for Georgia Power customers by a few dollars a month.
The commission said the change will generate about $285 million in total annual savings for Georgia Power customers, or roughly $50 per year — about $4.04 per month — for the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month.
The Georgia PSC voted Thursday to lower overall rates as part of the approved plan.
Georgia Power Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Tyler Cook said the decision will provide “real savings for Georgia families and businesses as the heat of summer begins and energy use increases.”
“At Georgia Power, our teams work every day to run our business efficiently and keep reliable and affordable energy flowing to our customers,” Cook said.
Cook said the outcome followed months of work between Georgia Power and PSC staff, including reviews, public hearings and input from residents and intervenors.
The approved plan is tied to a stipulated agreement reached earlier this month involving two cases filed with the PSC in February, the Fuel Cost Recovery case and the Storm Cost Recovery case. Those cases addressed recovering fuel costs used to generate electricity and expenses tied to restoring power after storms.
Georgia Power said its rates remain, on average, about 15% below the national average and that it is still on track to provide additional annual savings of about $102 per year for typical residential customers beginning in 2029.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a stipulated agreement on Thursday to lower utility rates for Georgia Power customers starting June 1.
The regulatory body voted to pass the deal without changes, establishing how the utility can bill for fuel costs and storm damage restoration expenses.
State regulators approve rate cuts
What we know:
The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) voted 3-2 to reject several utility cost amendments before ultimately passing the overall deal. Under the approved agreement, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see monthly bills decrease by roughly $4.03 to $4.04. Total annual savings across all 2.8 million Georgia Power customers are projected to reach approximately $285 million.
The deal reduces how much money the utility can recover from its customer base for storm expenses by nearly 60%, dropping the revenue requirement from $270 million down to $109 million. The agreement also extends the amortization of storm recovery costs, largely tied to Hurricane Helene in 2024, to 67 months, caps natural gas advance purchases at 20% over a 36-month window, and cuts $13 million from the company’s original fuel recovery estimates.
Accountability questions remain unresolved
What we don’t know:
While the PSC agreed to launch a separate investigation into how fuel costs are allocated, officials have not yet confirmed how much large industrial operations will be forced to pay in future rate cases. Consumer advocacy groups argue that massive data center companies are driving up fuel costs for everyday ratepayers without paying for the infrastructure upgrades they require. Critics note that it remains unclear if a future utility asset structure will successfully shift financial burdens away from residential homes.
