Jennifer Nettles was one busy woman at the 2013 'CMA Country Christmas' special. Not only did she open the show with 'What Christmas Means to Me,' she also hosted the holidayevent and joined Christian singer Michael W. Smith to sing 'Christmas Day.'

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, who is currently knee-deep in promoting her first solo effort, opened the 'CMA Country Christmas' special on Dec. 2 like a consummate elf -- one that can sing her heart out while dancing.

The CMA Country Christmas will air tonight on ABC with four-time hilarious and delightful host Jennifer Nettles taking the emceeing duties once again. I got the opportunity to go to the taping of the show in Nashville this past November, and it's a completely different but cool experience than what you see on TV.

Jennifer Nettles has demonstrated through her single and title track 'That Girl' that her upcoming solo album will be one fans should be eagerly anticipating. Now, two more pieces of the puzzle -- the album art and track listing -- have been revealed.

Sugarland frontwoman Jennifer Nettles, announced via Twitter on Monday (Nov. 5) that her solo album finally has a release date. The album, 'That Girl,' will be Nettles' first without her Sugarland bandmate Kristian Bush and is set for release on Jan. 14.

Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.

Artists like LeAnn Rimes and RaeLynn spoofed other country stars on Halloween 2013. 'The Voice' singer took a playful jab at Blake Shelton circa 2002, while Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian dressed as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers circa 1983. The most adorable costume pictures, of course, came from the new parents. Hillary Scott, Jennifer Nettles and Chely Wright all shared photos of their tots on

Jennifer Nettles' solo single 'That Girl' has a funky yet sultry feel, with confessional lyrics and a touch of danger. Better yet, the video does not disappoint in showing off the singer's remorseful side.

The weather outside isn't frightful (yet), but the Country Music Association has just announced a delightful lineup for the special 2013 'CMA Country Christmas.' It includes some of country music's biggest stars, with the spunky Jennifer Nettles once again hosting the merry event.

If you follow Jennifer Nettles on Twitter, watch what you say. The songstress doesn't put up with negativity -- in fact, if she sees it, she'll call you out.

We're used to seeing spunky Jennifer Nettles with her telltale smile and shiny blonde locks. So, to see the songstress with dark tresses is a pretty big shock -- but thankfully, it's just for her 'That Girl' video!

Fear not, Sugarland fans: Even though Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles both have solo projects going on, the duo isn't breaking up.
