It's a show that goes into the love stories of some of Nashville's big stars. Greg Hanna, who will release a single called "Man's Job" in the spring, will be in an episode about Brad Mates (Emerson Drive) and his wife. Sounds like an interesting series. The episode premiered premiered yesterday and will repeat at the following times:

In a big shocker this week, guess who is nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the ACM awards? Carrie Underwood! I was thrilled to learn this because I think Carrie is not only insanely talented, but one of the hardest workers out there. Also? This might actually give someone other than Kenny Chesney the win. :) The award will once again be fan voted. She's up against Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, George Strait and Keith Urban.

Finally... have you seen Taylor Swift's new video for "White Horse"? If not, check it out below, courtesy of Taylor's YouTube page. It's pretty good... although I do think someone was using this to prepare for an upcoming acting gig on CSI. Take care and see you again soon!
