For the past few months, Keith Urban has been making it clear to the press that his first priority is making new music. Although the country star had a blast filming ‘The Voice’ in Australia, his sights are set on his next project — a new album. In a recent interview with the Tennessean, the ‘You Gonna Fly’ hitmaker declares that he’s dismantling the way he’s made records in the past in order to p

Get those halls ready for a decking, because Blake Shelton‘s Christmas album has a release date! Appropriately titled ‘Cheers, It’s Christmas’ — presumably for the singer’s love of drinking — the holiday-themed release will be ready for your stocking pleasures on October 2.

Sara Evans is simply beautiful — and no, we’re not just referring to when she’s on the red carpet, looking smashing in a glitzy dress and perfect makeup. Recently, the singer took a chance and shared this picture of herself without a drop of foundation or mascara on her face.

In just a few weeks, Dierks Bentley will raise a glass to his fans when he debuts his four-track ‘Country & Cold Cans’ EP. The disc — which was inspired by the popular title track and the wild and crazy concertgoers who supported Bentley’s 2012 tour of the same name — is slated to hit shelves in late August.

Before you get too excited–or annoyed, depending on how you feel about The Biebs–about the above headline, you should know that Justin Bieber isn’t going to be the next pop sensation to cross over to country music. The teen sensation posted this short video of his country version of ‘Boyfriend’ on Twitter earlier today, gaining a lot of laughs from dozens of his 25 million followers.

For months now, Brad Paisley has been hard at work on his new album, the follow-up to 2011′s ‘This Is Country Music.’ After plenty of hours logged in the studio, the award-winning country star already has seven songs confirmed for the album — but this one will be different. Paisley is adamant that this record will hit the shelves with an organic, edit-free sound.

Taylor Swift might have a shelf full of trophies and platinum records, but she’s not too high on the hog to poke a little fun at herself every now and then. Known for being a pretty funny gal in addition to a country music hitmaker, Swift’s latest laugh is a hilarious promo video for the 10th season of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’

Keith Urban may call the States home now, but the Australian native hasn’t forgotten his roots. As proof, the award-winning country star has spent quite a bit of time in the Land Down Under, playing a part on Australia’s version of ‘The Voice’ and bringing country to his overseas fans. Most recently, Urban is thrilling his followers by gracing the cover of GQ Australia, looking especially dapper i

Although Keith Urban has fully enjoyed coaching talented singers on ‘The Voice’ in Australia, there’s no chance that the ‘You Gonna Fly’ hitmaker will trade in his guitar for a permanent reality TV contract anytime soon. While Urban would be thrilled to do another season of ‘The Voice,’ he told Australian radio’s Kyle & Jackie O Show that making music is still priority No. 1.

Kip Moore is having quite the year. Between ‘Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck’ spending two weeks at the top of the country chart and a successful summer of touring with Billy Currington and David Nail, Moore is quickly becoming a household name. His latest bout of attention came on America’s birthday (July 4), when he made his first-ever appearance on the ‘Today’ Show.

It would seem to many that Miranda Lambert takes in a new stray dog every week. And perhaps she does. But it’s all because the ‘Over You’ hitmaker has a warm heart for her furry friends and wants to do anything she can to help them. This time, Lambert has adopted six stray puppies, and she turned to her fans to find homes for the sweet litter.

Miranda Lambert caught everyone’s attention when she wore a Kate Middleton-inspired hat to the Kentucky Derby in May. Now, the chic black headpiece can be yours. Lambert’s chapeau is now up for bid on eBay and the money will be go toward one of the animal-loving singer’s favorite charities: The MuttNation Foundation.
