Trisha Yearwood is back for more Southern Kitchen…
Cole Swindell is platinum…
Trisha Yearwood is about to start the 10th season of her Food Network show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen.
She says she keeps the show and her Facebook Live Coffee Talk chat before each Saturday morning episode real. "The show is very real, except for I'm in hair and makeup and a nice wardrobe, most of the time. And ‘Coffee Talk' is an extension of that, but it's even more loose and more casual because it really isn't edited."
The new season premieres Saturday.
Cole Swindell is a platinum person.
He just racked up his fifth platinum single, for "Middle of a Memory." It's a big deal considering he only released his first single, "Chillin' It," in 2013.
His other premium songs are "Chillin' It," "You Should Be Here," "Ain't Worth the Whiskey" and "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight."
Cole is the first (and so far only) country artist in the history of Mediabase to have all seven of his singles top the chart. He's currently on tour with Dierks Bentley, who sings with him on his most recent number-one, "Flatliner."
