Phillip Phillips, out. Tate Stevens, in! The 2012 'American Idol' winner is being replaced by the 2012 'X Factor' winner on Fox's 'New Year's Eve Live!' event.
Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer Billy Ray, offered up her loyal, respectful and soulful cover of Dolly Parton's hit 'Jolene,' penned in 1973, in her 'Backyard Sessions' series. The song was written 19 years before Cyrus was even born, but she does a terrific job with it. Did you know that Parton is Cyrus' godmother? True story!
Miranda Lambert has made no secret that she unfollows her hubby Blake Shelton on Twitter when his comments get to be too much. She might be giving him a smack upside the head, however, when she hears what he said about their sex life in a new interview.
It was a country Christmas, as Brad Paisley performed 'Behind the Clouds' at the annual Disney Parks Christmas parade. Paisley fans were able to invite the country superstar into their homes for the holiday, even if only for a few fleeting moments. The performance aired this morning (Dec. 25) but it was pre-taped a few weeks ago.
Taylor Swift's contemplative ballad 'Never Grow Up' provides the soundtrack for one of the cutest and most heartwarming commercials of the Christmas season. The spot, a promo for Walmart, captures the euphoria of Christmas morning for children, along with the innate joy of opening presents and spending time with family.
For most young children, there is nothing more euphoric than Christmas morning. Waking up early is a requirement. Flying down the steps to tear open presents is also a given. Country superstar Keith Urban was no different than your average, Christmas-loving kid while growing up in Australia. The singer revealed how he spent Christmas mornings and how he was the personal alarm clock of Mom and Dad Urban!
Before Keith Urban took the stage to perform a unique version of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' on ABC's Dec. 20 broadcast of 'CMA Country Christmas,' he spoke a little bit about what Christmas is like in the female-dominated Urban-Kidman household.
Congrats to future country superstar Tate Stevens. He was announced as the winner of Season 2 of 'X Factor' during Thursday's (Dec. 20) season finale, capping off a week of reality singing competition shows that were dominated by country wins. Remember, Blake Shelton and his pop-country protege Cassadee Pope notched the Season 3 win on 'The Voice.'
A 24-year-old man took the bus from Wisconsin to Nashville with a very specific plan -- to spend Taylor Swift's birthday with her. It didn't work out quite like he had hoped.
On tonight's (Dec. 11) elimination episode of 'The Voice,' Blake Shelton's team, featuring Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott, remained in tact. Both Pope and McDermott are moving on to next week's finals, doubling the country star's chances of being the show's winning coach for a second season in a row. Shelton could make 'The Voice' history and he's gunning for it.
