When you hear of country artists selling out stadiums and arenas in record time, it is usually a short list of names you hear repeatedly: Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks, for the most part. Now, you can add Jason Aldean to that illustrious list.
Jason Aldean will make history in 2013, both in his career and at one of baseball's historic ballparks. The singer announced on Thursday (Oct. 18) that he will kick off his first-ever stadium tour as the first-ever country music performer to play at Boston's Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.
Kelly Clarkson has enjoyed a few hit duets in the country music field already, and soon, she'll add Vince Gill to her roster. The track listing for the first 'American Idol' winner's upcoming album, 'Greatest Hits -- Chapter 1,' has been released, and tucked alongside her pop hits is a sweet duet with Gill titled 'Don't Rush.'
Darius Rucker is officially the Grand Ole Opry's newest member. The 'True Believers' singer was inducted into the iconic country music institution during a Tuesday night (Oct. 16) Opry performance before a packed crowd of family, fans and industry friends.
If four or five songs from Jason Aldean's new 'Night Train' album reach No. 1, does that mean it's indisputably a great country music record? This seems likely to happen -- the hits are there and Aldean is red hot right now -- yet from top to bottom, the singer's fifth project leaves one wanting some magic never felt before.
Pop star Kelly Clarkson has dabbled in country music over the past couple of years. Teaming up with Reba McEntire and Jason Aldean went really well for the first 'American Idol' winner. Last weekend Kelly played a show in Australia and paid tribute to another 'American Idol' winner - Carrie Underwood, by covering her latest single 'Blown Away'.
Luke Bryan leads the pack of 2012 American Country Awards nominees. The singer, and his peers, will get their time to really shine when the red carpet event airs live from Las Vegas in December. The 'Drunk on You' singer received seven nominations in all, including Artist of the Year.
Jason Aldean says "everything's good" with his family 10 days after photos of him kissing and embracing one-time 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr were revealed on TMZ.
Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney and the Band Perry are the latest performers to be announced for the 46th annual CMA Music Awards, which will air live on from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Thursday, November 1.
Jason Aldean admits he "screwed up." After photos surfaced of the 'Take a Little Ride' singer kissing former 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr in a bar, he publicly apologized for acting inappropriately -- but Kerr continues to take a beating from media and country music fans over the pair's indiscretion. Following Aldean's statement, Kerr too has stepped up to apologize for her "lapse in judgment" with the married singer.
We are less than a month away from my favorite country music award show - the CMA's! The show is always packed full of incredible performances and this year is shaping up to be no different.
Jason Aldean offered a heartfelt apology to fans within hours of pictures showing him kissing a woman (former 'American Idol' singer Brittany Kerr) who was not his wife surfaced on Sunday. The scandal is sure to be the center of his life for the next few weeks or months, even with a new album in stores on Oct. 16. Much of the debate on Facebook and Taste of Country has centered on this question: Does he owe fans an apology or an explanation?
