Carrie Underwood came home to the 'American Idol' stage tonight (April 4), performing her new single 'See You Again.' Looking resplendent in a floor-sweeping, black-belted, strapless peach gown, with her blonde ringlets swept into a half-updo and accompanied by several background singers and a band, Underwood belted out her latest ballad on the stage where it all began for her.
Rascal Flatts recruited 'Nashville' star Charles Esten to appear in their new video for the contemplative ballad 'Changed,' which explores the dangers of alcoholism on the family unit.
Florida Georgia Line's debut single 'Cruise' is a double platinum-sized hit. The duo's infectious song has been certified as such by the RIAA, meaning it has exceeded sales of two million copies. That's a huge feat for a newer artist in today's rapidly declining music industry landscape, so congrats to the boys on this enormous accomplishment.
Carrie Underwood will once again return to the place where it all began.
Lauren Alaina may be a country star who is in the studio working on her second album (the follow-up to her 2011 debut 'Wildflower'), but she's still a lot like your average 18-year-old. The singer and runner-up on Season 10 of 'American Idol' went through a teenage rite of passage on Saturday night (March 23), as she attended her senior prom.
WYRK in Buffalo does two special acoustic shows per year -- one in the spring and one in the fall -- where they bring in three artists for what amounts to a guitar pull. The acts play songs individually and together and sign some autographs after the fact. The 2013 spring edition saw Greg Bates, Maggie Rose and Kip Moore performing on March 20 at the UB Performing Arts Center, but Bates had to work overtime. In addition to playing a few tunes, the 'Did It for the Girl' singer actually helped a Buffalo local ask his girlfriend to prom.
Who doesn't love a pretty girl? Any guy with a heartbeat and a functioning set of eyeballs loves to look at a pretty girl. In Kip Moore's video for the heartfelt ballad, 'Hey Pretty Girl,' Moore sings the song and plays his guitar in serious, thoughtful fashion, while footage of couples clinging to one another, staring into each other's eyes and dancing flash on the screen.
It's reportedly splitsville for Julianne Hough and her boyfriend Ryan Seacrest, capping off what has been a pretty bad week for the gorgeous singer.
Want a taste of brand new Ronnie Dunn music? Well, today's your lucky day. The singer previewed the rowdy and thoroughly rocking' new track 'Country This.' Dunn himself labeled it as one of the "edgier" tracks on his upcoming record and it's certainly a different sound for him. So how does it stack up?
Jana Kramer's acting career is nearly as red hot as her country music career and her relationship with fiance Brantley Gilbert. The singer and actress stars in the upcoming 'Heart of the Country,' a dramatic and romantic film in which her character is forced to dig deep and take a long, hard look at her heart in order to remember what's truly important.
Miranda Lambert is a bit of a Stepford Wife in her 'Mama's Broken Heart' video. She's quite the actress, showing off her crazy side with reckless abandon -- but she makes nutty look good. Her character pops Rx pills, which she washes down with a glass of scotch. She's got a fancy house and lots of swanky things, but none of it's making her happy. Despite that heavy theme, the video is fun and Lambert is a hoot, chewing the scenery as she comes undone.
Taylor Swift has been known to mix work and play -- at least in her songwriting. Now, she is supposedly taking it up a notch, as she is reportedly dating British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who is also her Red Tour opener and her collaborator on 'Everything Has Changed.' Is Taylor Swift dating Ed Sheeran? Could this be the beginning of 'Ted'?
