September 5, 2012 This morning on Good Morning America, the CMA nominations were announced. Here are the top categories:
Taylor Swift‘s ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ video drops tomorrow (Aug. 30) at 7:49 PM via multiple platforms, which you can learn all about here.

August 27, 2012 It was a show I waited all summer for. When it was announced I knew that the Jason Aldean/Luke Bryan show was going to be big. You can't go anywhere without hearing at least one of their songs on the radio, a jukebox, Pandora or an iPod. They are at the top of their game and in the top tier of popularity in country music.
August 20, 2012 Need help picking a first dance for your fall wedding? Being a DJ, I get to see a lot of weddings. I'm at a new one every weekend. So I get to see a lot of the country songs that are being requested, not only on the air, but also when people are at parties and want to dance. The 5 biggest I've seen this summer are:
Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and Eric Church all make strong debuts on the Top 40 Country Songs list for August, but none of their singles were good enough to take down a song that ranked No. 2 on the July 2012 list. Aldean comes closest, with ‘Take a Little Ride’ making a Top 5 debut this month.
In the latest episode of the new E! Television reality show ‘Opening Act,’ 16-year-old Kylie Morgan from Newcastle, Okla. was picked to take the stage before Jason Aldean on a recent stop of his My Kinda Party Tour. That was the first of many emotional surprises for the teen.
Hunter Hayes and Lady Antebellum both snagged a sweet surfboard award at last night’s (June 22) 2012 Teen Choice Awards. Hayes was honored as the year’s Choice Male Country Artist and Lady Antebellum took the award for Choice Country Group.
July 12, 2012 Blake Shelton, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift and the Eli Young Band are just a few of the country artists nominated for this year's Teen Choice Awards. Blake finds himself in the same category as Justin Bieber for "Choice male artist." The show airs next Sunday, July 22, on FOX.
America didn’t learn about the Band Perry until late 2009, but the sibling trio will be celebrating their 14th year together this October. Neil and Reid Perry started off backing up their older sister Kimberly before she let them join the band officially. Jump forward to 2012, where you’ll find that the 2011 CMA New Artist of the Year is the hottest thing in Nashville, having just notched a fourth straight Top 10 hit from their self-titled debut album.
Luke Bryan is spending his second straight week at No. 1 with his latest hit single, ‘Drunk on You.’ The tune topped the charts last week, becoming the singer’s fifth career No. 1, and is now officially a multi-week chart-topper.
