“I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever had somebody not comment or say, \u2018Great job\u2019 or \u2018That sucks\u2019 or whatever the case may be,” Judd says, admitting that not every parody he’s done has been received with a hug.<\/p>\n
“Ella, I guess, didn\u2019t want anything to do with it and that\u2019s fine,” he says. “I\u2019m not going to sit here and bash anybody. It\u2019s not in my nature to do that.”<\/p>\n
This isn’t the first time one of Judd’s songs created controversy in the music community.<\/p>\n
In 2025, he was a guest on the Try That In a Small Town<\/em> podcast, and he admitted Garth Brooks<\/a> took exception to his “In Another’s Eyes” parody, titled “In Another Size.” Brooks, per Judd’s telling, worried the two songs could compete for the same Grammy.<\/p>\n In the end, Judd released the song anyway, and Brooks won the Grammy. Ironically, he recalls being on Sony Music at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n “Enjoy the video for the weekend because on Monday, the powers that be will have to go through and take it down from iTunes and I\u2019ll take it down from all my social media because that\u2019s what they asked me to do,” Judd says on Facebook.<\/p>\n “Am I disappointed? Ridiculously. Professionally and personally disappointed because I\u2019ve never done a song where I beat up on the artist or took advantage of a bad situation.”<\/p>\n Being rebuffed by Team Langley isn’t likely to slow Judd down. He ends his video with a sigh, saying, “On to the next one.”<\/p>\n That shouldn’t surprise anyone as no one in country has been as successful in all the ways this year, but she’s not the only woman representing. Count six females, including a singer with an edge for newbie of 2026.<\/p>\n We’ll update as new songs are released in 2026 and the final list will drop in December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Jess Rose<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTop 13 Country Songs of 2026, Ranked<\/h2>\n
