Something to sing about! Country music’s biggest names haven’t been afraid to go head-to-head over the years, exchanging blows on social media, making up at awards shows and more. In 2015, several female artists came together to fire back at radio personality Keith Hill amid his comments about why he plays more male artists on the air.

From the storytelling to the casting to the crew, it was crucial for me that the needs of LGBTQ+ people were being prioritized,” Eichner wrote in a May 2022 statement, celebrating his achievement for being part of “the first gay rom-com ever released by a major studio.” The Parks and Recreation alum continued, “And while it’s insane to me that it took this l
