Posted on by

Country’s Night to Rock Postponed One Week from Original Date. The CMA Music Festival television special,CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock, has been rescheduled. The 3-hour show was originally set to air on Sunday, August 7th, but is now slated for exactly one week later, Sunday, August 14th.

Taylor Swift’s Fragrance

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Launches Her Own Fragrance! Well, pretty soon you will not only be able to listen to Taylor Swift, but you’ll be able to smell like her as well! Swift has announced that she will be launching her very own fragrance to prestige department stores this October. The scent has been named “Wonderstruck“, and the name is pulled from a line out of her song “Enchanted“. “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home,’ for the song ‘Enchanted’ about the first time you meet someone. A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you.” -Taylor Swift Taylor worked with the Elizabeth Arden company to create her personalized scent, and it is full of all ingredients that conjure images of southern living like honeysuckle, white hibiscus, peach and apple blossom. No doubt Swift fans will be banging down the doors come early October to get their hands on a little bit of “Wonderstruck”.

Josh Kelley In US Weekly

Posted on by

Sneak Peak of Josh Kelley Interview in Latest US Weekly Issue. Well, country fans, you may not know who Josh Kelley is just yet because he is a little new to the country scene. If you are familiar with Josh, it is probably for his recently released album, out March 22nd of this year, Georgia Clay. You might also be familiar with his catchy single off this album of the same name. While Georgia Clay marks Josh’s country debut, he is certainly not new to music in general. Kelley has a whole host of albums preceding his country debut from a wide range of genres including For The Ride Home (rock), Special Company (pop), and To Remember (alternative). This progression suggests Josh has been playing the role of Goldie Locks in trying to find the right genre, and maybe country will fit him just right. I guess whether or not this switch will prove successful for him is up to country fans, and ya’ll are not easily won over (thank goodness). To help you get to know this newcomer a little better, you can check Kelley out in the latest issue of US Weekly which hits stands Friday, July 15th. Below you will find a sneak peak of the feature, a list of 25 things you don’t know about him (They probably should have included that he’s a country artist in that list.) It’s an interesting list, but #20 seems a bit obvious. #4-5 are the most interesting in my opinion, and #6, #9 and #21 show off his down home roots. What do you think of Josh Kelley and his switch to country music? Josh Kelley: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me The country rocker, 31, opens up to Us 1.

I make the best fried green tomatoes ever! 7. I am one of seven kids, ranging from 39 to 16. 8. I got to work as a ball boy on the driving range of the Masters Golf Tournament when I was 17. 9. My favorite meal is meat loaf with creamed corn, buttered noodles and pecan pie. 10. My favorite cocktail is whiskey and Oogavé ginger ale. 11. I can’t leave the house unless every drawer is shut. 12. When I was a kid, I wanted to be president. 13. My wife [Katherine Heigl] and I adopted our daughter [Naleigh, 2] from South Korea. 14. I’m convinced Naleigh’s 60, pretending to be a toddler; she’s so wise! 15. I got held back in first grade. 16.

The Hosts for the 2011 CMA Awards Will Be… Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood have been officially announced as the hosts for the 2011 CMA Awards.
