Taylor Swift won everything short of the Powerball jackpot Sunday night (May 19) at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which aired live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday night (May 19), brought out the biggest singing stars from all genres -- including country.
Fans everywhere are looking forward to the 2013 CMT Music Awards, which are coming up in June. The first country music awards show to let fans vote for their favorites, the yearly event also features live performances by some of country's biggest artists -- and this year is no exception.
The 2013 CMT Music Awards nominees have been announced, and two of country music's hottest men -- Luke Bryan and Eric Church -- lead the way with four nominations each. Miranda Lambert also tallied four nods, three as a solo artist and one as part of all-female trio Pistol Annies.
Country music foursome Little Big Town have been building unstoppable momentum, and 2013 has proved to be a fantastic year, with a Grammy for 'Pontoon' and their two ACM awards for Vocal Group of the Year and Video of the Year. It looks like things will just keep getting better for LBT, as they just received an Emmy nomination.
Jason Aldean is following in his good friend Luke Bryan's footsteps, announcing Thursday that he'll be hosting a country music awards show.
The 2013 Billboard Music Award nominations have been revealed and Taylor Swift shares the lead as a finalist in 11 categories for the May 19 awards show. The 'Red' album-maker is up for a host of country awards, but also all-genre honors like Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album ('Red') and the night's big prize, Top Artist.
Budding superstar Luke Bryan couldn't have been more surprised when he won Entertainer of the Year at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 7). The stunned singer cried as he took to the podium to accept the honor. He says they were tears of both happiness and sorrow, as he was thinking of his late brother and sister.
There were a whole lot of viewers who were crying along with Miranda Lambert when she won Female Vocalist of the Year and grooving to the beat of Lady Antebellum's performance of 'Downtown' during the 2013 ACM Awards. In fact, the 48th annual show had over 15 million viewers (15.38 million, to be exact), posting the largest audience since 1998.
Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and John Fogerty were among those who made surprise guest appearances at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday (April 7). Perhaps more interesting, however, is who wasn't in attendance. Fans were left asking about a lack of screen time for three big country singers after Luke Bryan accepted Entertainer of the Year and credits rolled across the screen.
Fashion no-nos at the 2013 ACM Awards included one artist who went back in time for her dress and another who was apparently inspired by Dracula. The Worst Dressed at the ACMs list features at least one superstar who is more regularly found on Best Dressed collections, proving that everyone is vulnerable to an oopsie. From one plain Jane to one hot mess, these folks who were worst dressed at country's biggest party will want to rethink their approach for next year.
Superstars played it safe, while country newcomers took chances that mostly paid off to make the Best Dressed List at the 2013 ACM Awards in Las Vegas. Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift looked great, but all three came with looks fans have seen before. Newcomers like Scotty McCreery and Easton Corbin showed the style this season calls for.
