It’s Friday, and yes, on Tuesday, Taylor Swift got engaged. While we all wait to see what a happy, settled and soon-to-be-wed Taylor Swift album could look like, our newest pop royalty, Sabrina Carpenter is still making sense of love and lust in her new album, Man’s Best Friend.
Ahead of the 2025 AMERICANAFEST (which you can stream thanks to WMOT in Nashville), folk and country stars are coming into a big weekend as well. Not only does genre veteran Rodney Crowell’s new album Airline Highway shine, but he motivates Margo Price to do the same, playing guitar on her album Hard Headed Woman.
Before Stephen Thompson welcomes Jessie Scott from WMOT in Nashville to dig into this week’s massive Americana offerings, NPR Music’s Hazel Cills walks us through Sabrina Carpenter’s return as well as some shimmery indie-pop highlights.
Listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts and then scroll down to the long list and find your next favorite new album.
