At the CRS New Faces of Country Music Show last night (March 1), Florida Georgia Line performed, closing out their set with their No. 1 hit 'Cruise.' That's nothing out of the ordinary, right? Wrong! While it was an expected and high octane way for Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard to end the set, the performance got a major dose of star power when Taylor Swift "cruised" onto the stage to join the band for an impromptu duet.
Taylor Swift may have been born and raised in Pennsylvania, but the singer is pretty much a Nashville transplant who has adopted Music City as her hometown. Living in the area means she can cross paths with modern country music legends with frequency. Which ones are her ultimate idols? The answer shouldn't surprise you.
What do Joel Crouse, Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line and Casey James have in common? They've all been invited to fill the guest slots on Taylor Swift's upcoming Red Tour, which launches March 13 in Omaha, Neb. Talk about a sweet gig.
Justin Moore will once again support Crown Royal's 'Your Hero's Name Here' contest, where of-age fans can submit nominees who fit the "local hero" bill. The winner will have a NASCAR race named after them.
It's official. Rumors of a very country cast on 'Dancing With the Stars' have been confirmed, as both Kellie Pickler and Wynonna Judd have signed on for the 16th season of the super popular reality program. Two country stars from different eras will be going toe to toe on the show.
Men's Health has recognized something country fans are already well aware of – that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are one of the hottest couples around. On their own, each singer is pretty darn steamy. But together? They skyrocket and their combined hotness quotient goes through the roof.
It's been almost a week since country singer Mindy McCready tragically took her own life at the tender age of 37. The country music community was rocked to its core over the loss of this once-promising talent who was on a downward spiral in recent years with substance abuse and family issues, hitting rock bottom when her fiance died. Despite the tragedy and the devastation that has ensued, her family and her friends have revealed the funeral and memorial plans.
Is Hunter Hayes, one of country music's cutest, most talented and most eligible bachelors, about to come off the market? Could be, as it's being said that he and singer/actress Selena Gomez -- who recently ended her very public two-year romance with Justin Bieber -- were seen flirting and even exchanged digits.
Things are about to turn to gold for Lady Antebellum. The country trio will release their fourth studio album, 'Golden,' on May 7.
Eric Church's video for 'Like Jesus Does' is one of the most simple and spare videos in recent memory. But what it lacks in visuals it makes up for in its heft. It's just Church, without his signature aviator shades, seated in front of a microphone, strumming away at his guitar. He's wearing a skull cap, but we can still see his eyes. It's a stark, black and white video, and the camera pans in tight.
Jo Dee Messina and Alyssa Bonagura enlisted fans to help them make the video for the song 'Unbreakable.' Messina invited her Twitter followers to take pictures of themselves holding signs with words on them, like the song title, "stronger," "believe," "get along" and more, written in all sorts of fonts and with artistic embellishments, like the "t" in stronger turned into a cross. The singer then used the photos in the video.
