This old grainy footage of a bride kissing her groom comes from a relatively new country music video. It's a video that focuses on the past, however -- specifically those who've moved on to life after death. Do you recognize this kissing couple? There are plenty more famous faces found throughout the entire clip.
Ultra-hot country duo Florida Georgia Line are seeing their career blow up all over the place right now, thanks in large part to the success of 'Cruise,' which reached No. 1 and has been certified Double Platinum. The pair were in Las Vegas this past weekend for the ACM Awards -- where they took home New Artist of the Year honors -- and they shared with Taste of Country their amazement at how the song has impacted their lives.
The inaugural Mack, Jack & McConaughey event is just getting better and better. Not only does it combine a famous football coach, country musician and talented actor, but it also has a number of terrific performers slated to perform at the Jack Ingram & Friends Concert on April 12 in Austin, Texas.
Oklahoma native Blake Shelton is extremely committed to Miranda Lambert, and he wants her to know that he has eyes only for her. In fact, even in his music videos, Shelton wants his love life to be 'based on a true story,' and his story will always include his wife... and not a random actress, which is why he refuses to play the romantic lead in his videos.
Tate Stevens, winner of the most recent season of 'X Factor,' makes a strong debut on the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown this week. Fans pushed his debut single 'Power of a Love Song' to No. 6. It's a strong statement for the newcomer, but he'll need even more support if he's to blow by Top 10 staples by Carrie Underwood, Casey James and Toby Keith.
Kacey Musgraves, the "hottest 24-year-old in country music" (as christened by Ellen DeGerenes), appeared on the host's namesake show to perform her hit single 'Blowin' Smoke' on Wednesday (April 10).

I know one thing for sure about Victoria... there is never a lack of live music of varying genres.
Lack of success in predicting the results of the 2013 ACM Awards can be attributed to tight competition... or maybe underestimating the strength and popularity of artists like Luke Bryan. Perhaps we're just making excuses for ourselves after a less-than-super success rate at Sunday's show. Taste of Country readers also made predictions, and it's time to see who fared better.
Tim McGraw is a popular man. For his upcoming special 'Superstar Summer Night' -- which taped on April 8, the day after the ACM Awards -- he celebrated by performing with a host of friends from all genres, including his beloved country pals and a bunch of pop stars.
Luke Bryan's new song 'Crash My Party' would fit well on his last album 'Tailgates and Tanlines.' The ballad is a continuation of themes introduced with 'I Don't Want This Night to End' and 'Drunk on You,' two No. 1 hits for the ACM Entertainer of the Year. At first listen, it's difficult to become excited about a song that's so familiar.
