Jana Kramer has a lot to show off these days. The 29-year-old 'Whiskey' singer has a hot country album, a nomination for Best New Vocalist at the ACMs, and a devoted husband-to-be -- singer Brantley Gilbert. While those are all brag-worthy, we bet the No. 1 item Kramer wants to show off right now is her gorgeous new engagement ring.

Chely Wright is pregnant! The country singer announced that she and wife Lauren Blitzer-Wright will welcome twins this summer.

Toby Keith is a guy who knows how to take care of himself. The rugged 6'3" performer doesn't seem like one to back down from a fight, but when it comes to his personal security, evidently something has the star spooked enough to take steps to limit the people who have access to him. The 'I Like Girls That Drink Beer' singer has canceled all upcoming personal fan interactions at his concerts,

Taylor Swift's weekend included a lunch date on Saturday (Jan. 19) with Kayla Kincannon, a 17-year-old fan who has been battling brain cancer for the last year.

Jason Aldean's 'The Only Way I Know' lyric video travels far, but it does so without him!

Once again, Taylor Swift has done her part to encourage literacy among the youth of this nation. The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer has donated books to the early literacy program at the hospital in which she was born. Despite her fame and fortune, the singer never, like, ever, forgets where she came from.

It's a new chapter for Lauren Alaina. The country singer, who got her liftoff as the second place finisher to country superstar Scotty McCreery on Season 10 of 'American Idol' way back in 2011, will begin work on her sophomore album and the followup to her impressive debut, 'Wildflower,' today!

Rising country star Ashley Monroe and her co-producer Vince Gill offered a group of Nashville journalists an exclusive sneak preview of her upcoming solo album 'Like a Rose' in Nashville on Monday night (Jan. 14), giving a personal glimpse into the creation of a record that is likely to appear on multiple 2013 critic's picks lists.

Brantley Gilbert celebrated his 28th birthday on Sunday (Jan. 20) by proposing marriage to his girlfriend, 'Whiskey' singer Jana Kramer. Kramer gave an enthusiastic "Yes!" meaning the two are now engaged.

The stage is probably the only place you’ll find Taylor Swift partying, and that sentiment comes from the star herself. It seems she’d prefer attention only when there’s a guitar in her hand and she’s swinging her long blonde locks for the whole arena to see.

Scotty McCreery is one of the brightest new stars in country music, but it's the 'Water Tower Town' singer's academic work that is bringing him some well-deserved attention these days.

Since Jana Kramer released 'Whiskey,' the second single off of her self-titled debut country album, the forlorn love song has been tearing up the country charts. Now Kramer has released a video that helps tell the story behind this fan-favorite tune.
