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!

Emerson Drive Alert.....

Hey, guys. Here's a little information I got through the grapevine about the band. Apparently, they have gotten them selves a nomination for “Best Major Performance” in the Campus Activities Magazine Readers Choice Awards. They won the award last year, so good luck to em in getting a second straight title. If you want to help, head on over to the website and cast your vote.

Besides all that, they have been busy getting ready to release a new CD, titled Believe. They'll be working with the same people who helped them hit it big with the song "Moments". It's expected to be released in the Spring of this year. Their latest single, "Belongs To You" in on the charts as we speak.
