Sadly, there will always be a few bad apples who attempt to make selfish gains from the misfortune of others. Thankfully, in this case, two women who made false claims in order to get free money following the Indiana State Fair stage collapse have been caught — and are being charged.
Jennifer Nettles was clearly glowing from the countdown to her big wedding day when she filmed the ‘CMA Country Christmas’ special! The Sugarland singer hosted this year’s holiday event by bringing warm yuletide cheer to the crowd — and by wearing festive (may we say daring?) outfits at the show.
The second annual ‘CMA Country Christmas’ special opened with host Jennifer Nettles wearing sequins, ruffles and tails. The well dressed country starlet looked glamorous backed by a dashing dance troupe swinging candy cane striped canes in perfect harmony as she sang ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You.’
Though the Grammys are still more than two months away, music fans can get a taste of the action tonight during the fourth annual ‘Grammy Nominations Concert Live’ special, featuring performances from several Grammy-worthy acts. Sugarland will be teaming up with Lady Gaga for the eccentric pop star’s ‘You and I,’ and Jason Aldean will be hitting the stage with Ludacris for Aldean’s own ‘Dirt Road Anthem.’
Victims of the August 13 Indiana State Fair stage collapse are seeking justice. Forty-four survivors of the tragedy, as well as family members of those who died in the horrific accident, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against those associated with the production of the show — including Sugarland.
Jennifer Nettles admits that 2011 has been a “tumultuous” year for Sugarland, and hints that it will be some time before she and partner Kristian Bush make their next move. After winning a fifth consecutive Vocal Duo of the Year award at Wednesday night’s CMA Awards, Nettles talked about the group’s future to reporters backstage.
As promised, Sugarland are returning to Indiana for a show in honor of the seven killed and dozens injured when the stage collapsed before an August show at the Indiana State Fair. Friday night’s concert at the Conseco Fieldhouse will benefit the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund.
We can’t think of a better way to spend the holiday season than with a full lineup of country’s hottest stars, and on December 1, we’ll have the pleasure of inviting Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Sugarland, Brad Paisley and more into our homes via our television screens. The ‘CMA Country Christmas’ event will air on ABC at 8PM ET that evening, but will be recorded live from Nashville a few weeks earlier.
