Major Taylor Swift Announcement

Posted on by

Explore the possibilities behind Taylor Swift’s live webchat with us! The anticipation is killing us as we wait for tomorrow to roll around. As you probably already know, Taylor Swift took to YouTube last week to invite fans to a special live webchat event so that she can share some big news. Now we’ve spent the last week combing the web to see if we can guess the announcement. Heck, some of us are even placing bets on what it will be. Here’s what we’ve got so far: We believe that Taylor will be announcing the release date for her new album, and that date will be before September 30th (In order for an album to be considered for a 2013 Grammy, it has to be released by September 30th this year). We also believe that the first leg of her accompanying tour will be announced, with all secondary market (mid-sized cities) dates, and that tour will most likely begin in early November, with a major-market (big city) tour to follow in the spring. Here’s an interview Taylor did with MTV that explores some of the new albums creative proccess: Get More: Music News Of course we could be way off the mark. She could be announcing an engagement to her latest love Conor Kennedy (paired with her sudden publicity around this relationship and the purchase of a $4.9Million dollar home in the Kennedy compound this isn’t so far-fetched.) She could also be sharing the news of her upcoming starring role in the film “Girls Like Us” where she will play the part of Joni Mitchell. Filming for this begins January 13th, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. For more details on the film, visit our source at the Examiner. Either way, when Taylor talks to fans like this, it’s always good news! Tune in Monday August 13th at 7ET 4PST for the big Taylor Swift announcement!

Alan Jackson Interview

Posted on by

Recently Alan Jackson spoke with USA TODAY about him, his music and the things he loves most. Alan Jackson, 53, recently spoke with USA Today and here is what was said… On his marriage to high school sweetheart, Denise: “We’ve been through a lot together. As you get older, what I appreciate is that history.” On having only daughters: “It’s like second nature to me. I grew up with four older sisters and I was the only boy; all I’ve ever been around was girls. I think it would have been unnatural for me to have a son in the house. I love my daughters,” Jackson says of Mattie, 22, Ali, 19, and Dani, 15. “When I get real old, they’ll take good care of me.” Favorite shows: In the mid-90s, Jackson used to set up a lake show outside his house in Nashville: “People could come by boat. It was free, just a good-natured thing. We had thousands of boats out there. They’d anchor a day or two in advance; they’d just be waiting,” Jackson says. “We had Shania Twain, when it was her first year. She hadn’t even toured yet. She came out in a pair of overalls [with] a couple of acoustic players and played. The crowd was so excited to see her for [the] first time.” Summertime on the lake: “We’ve had a lake home for years. [It’s] where I feel really content [when] it’s late in the summer and they’re there and everybody’s just enjoying this lifestyle I’ve been fortunate enough to create for them and do the things I did growing up. I really still love that.” Must have on the road: “Other than Jack Daniel’s, there’s not much else you can take out there. I’m pretty easy, I’m not one of these artists who [has] to have all red M & M’s or something in my dressing room. I don’t care what food is on the bus.” Song to perform: “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) is such a powerful song, I’ve seen people get up and leave after that song is over because they’ve been waiting for it,” Jackson says, about his memorable tribute to September 11. “ Something I have to do every night that’s fun, that song Chattahoochee, I did years ago. It’s just a lighthearted song.When I kick it off, people love that, and I’m talking about kids that are too young to have been around when it came out and people older. It connects with people, and I don’t get tired of playing it.” Place to write a song: “Most of my better melodies and ideas seem to come [when] I drive,” Jackson says. “In the Nashville area I have a routine, which takes me down quiet country roads where nothing is going on. I don’t have music on; my old cars don’t have radios worth listening to. [It’s] quiet and that’s when a lot of my best melodies and ideas come to me.” On making Continue reading Alan Jackson Interview→

Rascal Flatts-The Making Of Come Wake Me Up

Posted on by

The Behind The Scenes Look At The Music Video For “Come Wake Me Up.” Here is a special behind the scenes look at the making of the music video for “Come Wake Me Up.” This song is Rascal Flatts latest single and is nothing like their previous hit “Banjo.” The video was shot in Nashville and was directed by Shaun Silva. “So I had this story unfolding, this moment of – here’s a girl who really is just from a different world than what he’s from. Joe Don’s character is doing all the things anybody would want to do for someone they love, but it threatens her identity until one night after an argument, she removes a necklace like breaking free from his lavish grasp. Her decision to leave, and his to chase after her, only pushes her further towards her foreshadowed fate.” -Silva The little that we see in the clip below definitely leaves you wanting more. The video stars Joe Don Rooney and his real-life wife, Tiffany Fallon. Watch it now and tell us what you think!
