Stagecoach may be delayed, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate country music today!

While thousands of pop culture fans are delaying their festival trips to Indio, Calif., until October, there are still plenty of ways to get your country on wherever you live. 

For example, Saturday's headliner Carrie Underwood would totally understand if you want to partake in Stagecouch. But why not do some shopping and pick up some fitness apparel and accessories from her CALIA line?

As for those hoping to dance to Thomas Rhett on opening night, we see you, we hear you, we feel you. 

But as you hang around the house this weekend, consider purchasing his new song "Be A Light" that benefits MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund. While you're at it, pre-order his wife Lauren Akins' upcoming memoir. After all, if you're a fan of Thomas Rhett, you're likely a fan of the entire family.

Join Brian and Brittney Kelley's Tribe

For the past several years, Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and his wife Brittney Kelley have built a successful fashion brand called Tribe Kelley. "I didn't launch the brand to instantly get rich and make a lot of money. I didn't want to just create a merch brand to occupy my time," Brittney shared with E! News. "This was a passion project that I wanted to connect with and something that I wanted to truly be a representation of me."

Get Your Man Some Decent Flannels

Warning: If you go to Stagecoach, you're going to see a lot of flannel. But if you want the best of the best, may we suggest Dierks Bentley's Desert Son collaboration with Flag & Anthem.

Stream Bachelor in Paradise

Whether you're a loyal member of Bachelor Nation or completely new to the ABC franchise, we highly recommend watching Bachelor in Paradise summer 2019 edition where a dramatic love triangle stemmed from a few contestants attending Stagecoach.
