Country star Brantley Gilbert is bidding adieu to his Georgia abode ... and looking to pocket some serious dough in the process.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Brantley built the house on the 12 acres of land he purchased back in 2010 ... but recently got a hankerin' for more and snapped up 300 acres of farmland nearby.

While Brantley clearly believes bigger is better ...  the 6-bedroom, 5-bath 8,446 sq ft property in Maysville, GA he's selling hardly suffers from size.

Hello, Miss American Pie ... an autographed copy of Don McLean's lyrics to his iconic hit is going up for sale, and even though it's not an original, it's still selling for a bundle.

Don's handwritten fair copy of the "American Pie" lyrics is hitting the market via MomentsinTime.com with a $154,000 price tag. Yes, that's some very rich pie.

The suit alleges Kanye and co. engaged in "forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment."

Taylor Swift needed some help at her Dublin concert when she got too high ... and, we mean that literally because a platform malfunctioned and left her momentarily stranded in the air.

Taylor Swift made an entire Irish venue swoon with pride Saturday night after telling them their country was the inspiration and imagery behind her album, "Folklore."

You guys have that on lock, too. That's very Irish, the storytelling."

She said she created a fantasy in her head to write the songs.. "... I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it... I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland."

We have a possible new couple alert from across the pond ... because we just got photos of Paul Mescal on a date with Gracie Abrams.
