The One Show after nine years on the BBC sofa. But he had no idea just how well things would fall into place for him, until the pandemic hit last spring.The presenter has his eggs in many different baskets, what with his regular slot on Countryfile still at the forefront of his career.He has always enjoyed the outdoors lifestyle and being the son of a farmer, it seemed only natural.Which is why he decided to move his family - wife Nicola and children Luke and Molly - back to the Durham Dales after his mum Janice, had a nasty accident on their 100-acre farm back in July 2020.Janice and Matt's dad Michael, couldn't run it alone and after being left with a fractured tibia when she was knocked over by some large sheep, it was near enough impossible to keep things running smoothly.Never one to pass up an opportunity, Matt soon secured a commission and the Channel 4 documentary series Our Farm In The Dales, was born.He had many reasons for leaving The One Show, with one of them being to spend more time with his family, and he definitely got what he wanted.Of his exit, he told The Yorkshire Post last year: "When you get to a certain point in your life you start reflecting."I’d had that period in my life when I was so busy with The One Show – which was fantastic – but then you suddenly realise what makes you."The countryside has made me who I am.”He laughed: "There’s only ever been six months in my life when I haven’t had a flock of sheep."That’s what’s really important to me.

Kacey Musgraves was the musical guest on The Late Show on Monday night. She performed "Breadwinner," from new album star-crossed, for host Stephen Colbert.

Chris Willman Music WriterLess than a month away from its airdate, CMA Awards producers have put an end to the speculation among country fans about who would host the 2021 show by announcing Luke Bryan would take over duties for the show, to be broadcast live Nov. 10 on ABC.This marks the third year in a row that the network and the Country Music Association have changed up the hosting approach, after Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had an 11-year run, from 2008 to 2018.

Dolly Parton was quick to jump on the latest Twitter trend and definitely won it already.

president of Kacey Musgraves’ record label fired off an impassioned letter to Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason jr. on Sunday, imploring him to reconsider the decision not to count Musgraves’ new album, “Star-Crossed,” in the 2022 Grammys’ country categories.While Mason is the head of the Recording Academy, technically the decision was not made by him: It was made by the Academy’s country screening committee, an anonymous group of artists, creatives, executives and others who determine which recordings belong in which genre categories.

Kacey Musgraves’ latest album ‘Star-Crossed’ is ineligible for the Best Country Album award at the upcoming Grammys, the Recording Academy has decided.As Billboard reports, members of the academy convened last week for their annual screening committee meeting, where recordings are reviewed to make sure they are placed in the appropriate awards categories. It was during this meeting that members of the country committee rejected ‘Star-Crossed’ as a contender for the 2022 Best Country Album.Musgraves’ album is, however, eligible for the Best Pop Album and all-inclusive Best Album categories.
