Does Taylor Swift already have a new romance in the works? Taylor Swift certainly has no short list of admirers, but it seems one has a slightly better chance of reaching Taylor. Adam Young (of Owl City fame) apparently heard the rumor that Taylor’s song “Enchanted” was written about him, and decided to share a valentine’s day response. “Dearest TAYLOR, I’ll be the first to admit I’m a rather shy boy and since music is the most eloquent form of communication I can muster, I decided to record something for you — as sort of a “reply” to the breathtaking song on your current record. This is what I wanted so badly to tell you in person but could never quite put into words: Everything about you is lovely. You’re an immensely charming girl with a beautiful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale, and above all, I just want you to know … I was enchanted to meet you too. Love, ADAM.” Listen to Adam’s version of “Enchanted“.
Maxim Magazine releases their 2011 feature of the 13 hottest women in country music. Maxim magazine has passed out their list of the thirteen hottest women in country music, and I have to agree that it’s a good list… with one exception. What in the heck is Gwyneth Paltrow doing on it?!?! She’s as much a woman of country music as Will Farrell is a real anchorman! Just because you play a role in a movie does not mean you are then entitled to all the “celebrations” of the industry that role fell in! Granted, Maxim’s “Hottest Women” lists are hardly career milestones, it’s just the country title that gets to me. Anyhow, on with the list, and in no particular order: Gwyneth Paltrow as “Kelly Canter,” from the movie “Country Strong.” Photo courtesy of Sony Music Nashville.

Or at least Justin Moore’s tour bus is on fire. Justin Moore may think twice before booking anywhere near Detroit in the future. On his first visit there a fan brazenly stole a custom guitar from him. Now it is reported that his tour bus caught fire en-route to the very same Royal Oaks Theater. Well . . . we really love coming to the Detroit area. I just hope in the future it gets a little more simple, as far as our trips go,” Moore said in a statement. “In all seriousness, we’re thankful that we’re all safe, and feel blessed. It could’ve been a lot worse than it was. It is reported that the damage was minimal, and the crew made it safely to the hotel, smoking bus and all.
Blake Shelton dishes the dirt on the wedding of the year! Blake Shelton revealed to E! Entertainment News that at least one rumor about his upcoming wedding to Entertainer of the Year, Miranda Lambert. After attending a Neil McCoy concert, the couple became determined to have him perform at their wedding,and according to Blake, they managed to nab him. Blake and Miranda’s wedding is expected to take place in May, and though no other details are confirmed, we doubt they’ll be quite as double-O-seven about things as last year’s princess, Miss Carrie Underwood.
