Season 16 -- yes, 16 -- of 'Dancing With the Stars' kicks off on March 18 at 8PM ET on ABC, and to ramp up excitement, promo photos of the competitors have been released. Of course, Kellie Pickler and Wynnona Judd are representing the country genre this season and both dazzle in entirely different ways in their pictures.
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.
Jason Aldean commandeered the stage at 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' early this morning (Feb. 28), transporting viewers to '1994.' He performed his new single of the same name. So for five minutes, Fallon's NYC studio got a big dose of Aldean's country flair, where he taught city folk why their favorite color should be: John Deere green.
Eric Church's video for 'Like Jesus Does' is one of the most simple and spare videos in recent memory. But what it lacks in visuals it makes up for in its heft. It's just Church, without his signature aviator shades, seated in front of a microphone, strumming away at his guitar. He's wearing a skull cap, but we can still see his eyes. It's a stark, black and white video, and the camera pans in tight.
Taylor Swift has revealed her Valentine's Day plans… or lack thereof. The singer, who split with One Direction's Harry Styles in early January after a whirlwind courtship, isn't doing anything of the romantic sort. She will instead focus on her other loves -- her music and her friends.
Ellen DeGeneres is always looking for ways to make people laugh, and one of her best numbers is when she sends members of her staff to public places to strike up conversations with random people only using song lyrics. For this particular sojourn into the real world, she tasks show writer Amy with talking to strangers using only lines from Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' Needless to say, customers at Lowe's were caught off guard.
Lady Antebellum were guests on the daytime gab fest 'The Talk' on Wednesday (Feb. 6), where they touched on a whole host of topics ranging from singer Hillary Scott's pregnancy to how her bandmates will be spoiling her baby (when it arrives), plus a little Grammys chatter and to how the trio a bit of a musical left turn with their infectious new single 'Downtown.'
Taylor Swift and Diet Coke? Those two great tastes will soon be tasting great together, as the 'Begin Again' singer has partnered with the soft drink giant! In a short video message, Swift declared that she wanted to share with fans first the fact that "we’re finally making it official with one of the great loves of my life."
Taylor Swift performed her Grammy-nominated smash hit 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' at the 2013 NRJ Awards in Cannes, France on Saturday (Jan. 26), looking hotter than, like, ever in a short black mini dress and knee-high boots.
2013 marks 90 years since the birth of country legend Hank Williams and 60 years since his tragic death. While he didn't live to see 30, the indelible mark he left on the genre is indisputable. Now, the Hank Williams Estate, which is overseen by his children Jett and Hank Williams, Jr., is making over 200 live performance recordings available to movie houses, TV production companies and ad agencies.
Carrie Underwood rocks. No, literally. While we are well aware that the singer has a sassy edge and a rock n' roll style at times, she's now officially making an impact on the rock radio genre.
