Stella Lefty and Vincent Mason strip their Top 40 duet back to banjo, mandolin and acoustic guitar on “Something To Lose (Live Acoustic),” premiering today with a sunlit porch performance video directed by Gus Black.

Today, Atlantic Outpost/Sandlot’s rising star Stella Lefty and multi-platinum singer/songwriter Vincent Mason share an all-new live version of their chart-climbing collaboration “Something To Lose.” Accompanied by an official music video, “Something To Lose (Live Acoustic)” brings even greater intimacy to the tender storytelling at the heart of their hit duet.

A true-to-life love song that cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Something To Lose” tells the tale of a fiercely independent woman who discovers the beauty of letting someone into her heart. In a departure from the moody restraint of the original version, “Something To Lose (Live Acoustic)” unfolds with a homespun warmth and easygoing energy, lending a lighthearted spirit to the song’s candid expression of vulnerability (from the chorus: “I got good at being lonely till you showed me I was better with you / Now I got something to lose”).

Produced by Harry Allen and steeped in rootsy instrumentation (earthy acoustic guitars, lilting banjo, wistful mandolin), the breezy new rendition ultimately adds a joyful immediacy to Lefty and Mason’s reflection on unexpected romance.

Directed by Gus Black, the official music video for “Something To Lose (Live Acoustic)” finds Lefty and Mason performing the song alongside three fellow musicians on a weathered porch in a gorgeously sleepy setting, perfectly echoing the track’s unhurried charm. As golden sunlight filters through the surrounding trees, the real-life couple’s effortless chemistry takes center stage and shines brightest at the second chorus, when the two vocalists sing eye-to-eye and share a sweetly unguarded moment of pure affection.

Written by Lefty, Grace Enger, Jon Decious, and Luke Dick, “Something To Lose” recently climbed to No. 25 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and reached No. 15 on Hot Country Songs. The heart-on-sleeve track appears on Lefty’s debut album Long Way Home — an August release that bowed at No. 1 on Spotify’s Top Albums Global and USA Charts and also features her record-setting smash single “Boston.” With over 604.2 million global streams to date, “Boston” hit No. 1 on both the Country Aircheck/Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay charts just 22 weeks after impacting radio — marking the third-fastest debut single by a solo female Country artist to reach the top spot in the Mediabase era. With its second consecutive week at the summit of the Billboard Country Airplay chart, “Boston” also made Lefty one of only six solo-billed females ever to hold a debut No. 1 for multiple weeks.

This Sunday (11/15), Lefty continues her SOLD-OUT debut headline tour with a stop at New York City’s legendary Webster Hall, followed by a second New York show at the iconic Bowery Ballroom on Monday (11/16). For more information on all upcoming live dates, visit stella-lefty.com.

Mason recently announced his highly anticipated headline When You’re Not Around Tour in 2027. Kicking off on February 11 in St. Louis, MO, the 21-date run will make stops in Fort Worth, Charlotte, Denver, and more, including a home state show in Atlanta, GA, at the Tabernacle.

The fastest chart debut by a solo female artist to ascend to No. 1 in more than 20 years, “Boston” spent two consecutive weeks atop Billboard Country Airplay, making Lefty one of only six solo-billed female artists ever to hold a debut No. 1 for multiple weeks.

Sixteen years after she auditioned for American Idol on the Ryman Auditorium stage, Lauren Alaina came back to headline it, sold the room out, and closed The Stages Tour with a night built around family, friends and surprise guests.

On Thursday (Nov. 12), Diamond-certified Country superstar Lauren Alaina made her SOLD-OUT Ryman Auditorium debut – a full-circle moment for the small-town Georgia native who auditioned for American Idol sixteen years ago on the very same stage.

Taking a well-deserved victory lap, Alaina surprised her sold-out crowd with several star-studded guests, including her brother, Tyler Suddeth (“Babies Raising Babies”), Scotty McCreery (“When You Say Nothing At All”), Emily Ann Roberts (“I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”), Chase Matthew (“All My Exes”), HARDY and Devin Dawson (“ONE BEER”) and Luke Bryan (“Drink A Beer”) for an emotional tribute to the loved ones they have both lost.

Concluding her 15-stop headlining The Stages Tour last night, Alaina has donated $1 for every ticket sold throughout the tour to her foundation, My Kinda People – contributing to several causes that are meaningful to her and her “Kinda People.”

“I was introduced to the world on the Ryman stage in my American Idol audition 16 years ago. It was the perfect and only place to end The Stages Tour,” Alaina shares. “It was even more special because the night supported our military heroes who sacrifice so much for us.”

At the start of the show, Alaina announced her new My Kinda People initiative with the Fisher House Foundation. An exclusive signed CD,“For The Boots,” was available for purchase and included “Boots On The Ground” and a Live at The Opry performance of “When You Say Nothing At All” featuring her dad and brother, Tyler. For those who were unable to attend the show, the remaining signed CDs are available for purchase as well as an Amazon exclusive “Boots On The Ground” t-shirt. All proceeds will go to the Fisher House Foundation, helping military and veteran families when a loved one is in the hospital.

After nine years of dedication to her craft, Lauren recently topped the charts at country radio, earning her fourth No.1 with smash hit “All My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew), becoming one of only five female country artists to reach the top of the charts in 2026, joining an elite group of powerhouses including Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Stella Lefty, and Taylor Swift. Alaina is now one of eight women to have earned multiple Country Airplay No.1s this decade. Adding to her milestones, Alaina performed “Never Been In Love” (which features childhood friend Kane Brown) on Live with Kelly and Mark last month from her 17-song collection Stages. The confessional track has become Alaina’s highest streaming debut to date.
