Carrie Underwood picked up the 2012 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album for 'Blown Away' on Sunday (Nov. 18) during a televised live broadcast. The win marked Underwood's seventh AMA of her career, and the fourth time she has won this particular award. Know what that means? Every single one of Underwood's records have been named Favorite Country Album at the AMAs. That's quite an impressive stat, isn't it?
Taylor Swift debuted her new song 'I Knew You Were Trouble' at the 2012 American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 18), and she pulled off a bit of a fashion and costume magic act while doing so. It was also a surprising, out-of-the-box, daring and edgy performance from the normally wholesome singer.
Luke Bryan won the 2012 American Music Award for Favorite Country Male during Sunday's (Nov. 18) TV broadcast. He beat out his 'The Only Way I Know' cohorts Jason Aldean and Eric Church for the prize, which was presented by Lady Antebellum.
On tonight's (Nov. 15) episode of 'X Factor,' Taylor Swift performed 'State of Grace,' the song that kicks off her mega-seller, 'Red.' Wearing a black fedora, white button-down, black flood pants and glittery shoes, Swift made the menswear trend look good.
On tonight's diva episode of 'X Factor,' country singer Tate Stevens served up a terrific version of Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On.' Stevens was atop the leaderboard in fan votes last week, so the country genre is well-represented on this particular reality series. The fact that Stevens chose to sing a country diva's song for this themed episode was also a nice touch and kept country deeply embedded in the show.
Without any country contestants remaining on Season 3 of 'The Voice,' coach Blake Shelton is left to represent the genre. While there are no more country horses in the race, that doesn't mean that the show lacks in country pride. Jason Aldean hit the stage on tonight's (Nov. 13) elimination episode, performing 'The Only Way I Know.'
Taylor Swift wasn't immediately affected by Hurricane Sandy, the superstorm that battered the East Coast and NYC two weeks ago. However, the singer has fond memories of the Jersey Shore, since she spent her summers there as a kid. Swift was born in an area of Pennsylvania that isn't far from the epicenter of much of the storm's damage, so she has a connection to the region, and she wants to help restore life and business in the area.
For her performance of 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' at the 2012 MTV EMAs -- which is the European version of the VMAs, held last night (Nov. 11) in Frankfurt, Germany -- Taylor Swift put on a magic show of sorts. Actually, it was more like a hybrid of a magic show, a carnival and a circus. It was certainly an arresting performance of her catchy hit. It was also more "pop" in its styling and imaging.
LeAnn Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian have expanded their family. The duo have adopted a dog, who was rescued from an almost certain death in L.A.
On tonight's (Nov. 8) episode of 'The Voice,' Blake Shelton sent one of his team members home, and so did America. So with two members gone, his team is down to its final three. So who stayed and who left?
Luke Bryan reprised his role as the red carpet correspondent for 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' at the 2012 CMA Awards, and his job was to play Truth or Dare with whatever celebs came up to him as they walked the media line. Well, when Blake Shelton showed up for a chat, he took the dare and planted a big ol' kiss on Bryan's cheek. More than once. We bet that was more than Bryan bargained for when he signed up for the gig.
Here's a case of really buttering up your coach on 'The Voice' -- and it's not the first time it has happened. During last night's (Oct. 31) Knockout Round, Blake Shelton paired country blondes Gracia Harrison and Liz Davis against one another with no saves and no steals in his back pocket.
