Brooks & Dunn's 2010 breakup wasn't a shock if you know the duo's history.

It didn't turn out quite like they had planned.

The seemingly sudden split was actually years in the making.

Many of our favorite country stars have been in the public eye for multiple decades, which means that some of them have changed a lot since when they first hit the stage.

Country singers have been making appearances on television and in movies for decades.

Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have announced that they will continue their residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2018.

Country stars live glamorous lives, but it hasn't always been glitz and glory for your favorite artists.

On Aug. 10, 2009, Brooks & Dunn announced that they were splitting up, after more than 20 years as a duo.

ICONIC!

Always Dreaming won the Kentucky Derby but country stars like Travis Tritt and Jerrod Niemann did alright too. They are but just two who dressed up for the 2017 run for the roses.

Kix Brooks recalls hearing himself on the radio for the first time.

Country artists have a reputation for penning lyrics that tell tough stories, but one of the hardest things that some stars have to go through isn't always covered in the biggest hits: band breakups.
