This was bound to happen. Taylor Swift may be on a professional high, cresting with the mega success of her best-selling 'Red' album, but her personal life nosedived when she and One Direction's Harry Styles split earlier this week. Well, any true (or even casual) Swift fans knows that the singer does her best work when her heart hurts, so it's off to the studio she went to likely distill some heartbreak into song.
DVR alert! Brantley Gilbert and Chris Young are ready for their close-ups. That is, their small screen close-ups.
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…"
What dominated Keith Urban's iPod in 2012? Well, there was quite a bit of country music -- and even some pop -- on his personal playlist.
Reba McEntire's new hit sitcom 'Malibu Country' didn't air a new episode this past Friday. Instead, it was a repeat of the pilot, given that we're in the thick of the holiday season and that sort of programming. The singer and actress still took time out of her busy schedule to send holiday greetings from the set to the show's viewers and to her fans.
Congrats to 'The Voice' Season 2 contestant Gwen Sebastian, who was a member of Team Blake Shelton before her elimination. The adorable blonde singer/songwriter is officially engaged to her drummer, Louis Newman. What a way to add a little kick to the holiday season!
Kudos to 'The Voice,' for opening the first night (Dec. 17) of the two-part Season 3 finale with all of the coaches and contestants singing 'Hallelujah' while holding up cards with the name and ages of the innocents who were shot in last week's Connecticut school shooting. It was a beautiful and touching moment. Turns out, the performances on the episode followed suit.
Cassadee Pope closed out tonight's (Dec. 17) episode of 'The Voice,' which was Part 1 of a two-night season finale, with her powerhouse version of Faith Hill's 'Cry.' Pope struck a nerve with her rendition, and left viewers going, "Wow." Her cover of this striking, signature Hill ballad could have sealed the deal and could help her win the title of winner of Season 3 of 'The Voice.'
If it works, it works.
On tonight's (Dec. 17) episode of 'The Voice,' which was the first night of a two-evening season finale, Team Blake Shelton singer Cassadee Pope reprised her version of Miranda Lambert's 'Over You,' which was her strongest performance of the season.
Brad Paisley and his lovely wife, 'Nashville' star Kimberly Williams-Paisley, are a big-hearted pair. The couple is doing its part to help those less fortunate in Haiti by participating in the Live Beyond…Thirst Initiative, which is part of the Live Beyond program launched by Drs. David and Laurie Vanderpool. The particular initiative provides clean water to people in Thomazeau, Haiti, a poor suburb of the capital of Port au Prince.
Red, white, silver and green are the traditional colors of Christmas, but Lady Antebellum can be sure to add gold to the season's palette for 2012.
