Dierks Bentley just made a dream come true for Walmart checker and aspiring country singer Kayla Slone. During the West Virginian's appearance on 'Anderson Live,' Bentley called in to gush about what a fan he is of her voice and to personally invite her to the ACMs in Las Vegas in April, where she will be able to hob-knob with country music's finest.
Blake Shelton fans sure got their fill of good news regarding the singer this morning (Feb. 11). Not only did he share his 'Sure Be Cool If You Did' video, but the singer also confirmed that he will release a new album entitled 'Based on a True Story…' on March 26.
Taylor Swift fans will want to tune in at 8PM ET on the dot tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 10, for the 2013 Grammys. That's because the singer is opening the show! That's a big deal -make that huge- and the powers that be are saving the best for first, as opposed to last.
Lady Antebellum were guests on the daytime gab fest 'The Talk' on Wednesday (Feb. 6), where they touched on a whole host of topics ranging from singer Hillary Scott's pregnancy to how her bandmates will be spoiling her baby (when it arrives), plus a little Grammys chatter and to how the trio a bit of a musical left turn with their infectious new single 'Downtown.'
Cute alert! Singer Danny Gokey shared the first photo of his brand new son Daniel Emanuel, born Jan. 20, which was his due date. The Season 8 'American Idol' finalist and wife Leyicet Peralta are first-time parents, and judging from this photo, it agrees with them.
It's a new chapter for Lauren Alaina. The country singer, who got her liftoff as the second place finisher to country superstar Scotty McCreery on Season 10 of 'American Idol' way back in 2011, will begin work on her sophomore album and the followup to her impressive debut, 'Wildflower,' today!
Never, ever underestimate the power of social media.
On Sunday night (Jan. 13), country superstar Dierks Bentley's dog Jake went missing during a big thunderstorm. Bentley tweeted about his beloved pooch being lost, and the country community -- fans, artists and even the boss at Bentley's label -- rallied around him to help spread the word and support him. They also ultimately helped locate the dog.
The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards co-hosting gig goes to Blake Shelton and... Luke Bryan!
DVR alert! Brantley Gilbert and Chris Young are ready for their close-ups. That is, their small screen close-ups.
In his new 'More Than Miles' video, Brantley Gilbert shows that he has more than just musical talent -- he's also a rather skilled actor! The clip features performance footage of the singer spliced with plot scenes where he is the protagonist, an on-the-road drifter who gets a little destructive in his hotel room.
Remember when we first met Lauren Alaina in 2011? She had long, two-toned, teenager hair that was appropriate for her age. It was long and blonde at the time, with some black streaks woven throughout -- cute, but a little dated, so we were thrilled when she went for a shorter, more sophisticated 'do in the form of an angled, shoulder-skimming bob. Now, the 'Georgia Peaches' singer has tried another new look, reverting back to a longer, bigger and more glam style... and it still suits her!
Three Grammy nominations and the chart-topping success of his current single, 'Wanted,' aren't enough to satisfy Hunter Hayes. No -- the singer/songwriter/country phenom has soaring, plans and they include learning to fly. Cue that famous R. Kelly song! "I believe I can fly…"
