Grammy Recap: Our Favorite Moments
The 55th Annual Grammy’s took place on Sunday, February 10th and our favorite country artists were well-represented with performances and more. It was impossible to pick a favorite moment, so we picked a few of the best…
Taylor Swift Brings in the Clowns: We’ve never been asked to open the Grammys (or much more than our own mail), but we’d assume it’s a big responsibility that comes with a ton of pressure. With her genre-bending, Alice-in-Wonderland-themed opener, Taylor Swift set the tone for a night of unforgettable performances with her hit about never, ever, ever, EVER getting back together. Although she nabbed a Grammy in the pre-telecast for her collaboration with the Civil Wars, it was her performance that had everyone buzzing. Most notably, there was that moment when she pulled her best Madonna, suddenly acquiring a British accent.

Loading ...Carrie Underwood to perform at GRAMMY awards
Carrie Underwood is going to continue to be a little bit everywhere, as she’s been announced as the latest performer added to the superstar line-up of the GRAMMY awards. While we aren’t sure if she’ll be performing new single “Two Black Cadillacs” or “Blown Away” at the award show, we’re confident she’ll be one of the highlights of the night.
Other performers at the 55th annual GRAMMY Awards include Taylor Swift, Mumford & Sons, and Rihanna among many other stars.
What song do you hope Carrie sings at the award show? The GRAMMYs air live from L.A.’s Staples Center on CBS on Sunday, February 10th at 8 pm EST.
Get Blown Away By Carrie’s 2012!
When we caught wind of just how incredible Carrie Underwood‘s 2012 was, we were simply blown away. Not only were we amazed by the laundry list of successful moments Carrie experienced, but we were exhausted just thinking about everything Carrie accomplished in only 366 days (Leap Year, y’all … are we observant, or what?)! The following is what Carrie’s year consisted of:
Country Artists Make the Grammy Album Cut
Country superstar Grammy nominees Hunter Hayes and Taylor Swift were chosen to appear on the 2013 Grammy Nominees Album. The album, which will be released on January 22 by Capitol Records and Grammy Recordings, will feature Hunter’s “Wanted” and Taylor’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. Hunter is nominated for Best New Artist, while Taylor’s single is up for Record of the Year.

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with songwriter Ryan Tyndell
We had the chance to get to know talented songwriter Ryan Tyndell last week, who is nominated for two GRAMMYs for his co-write on Eric Church‘s “Springsteen.” In our exclusive interview with Ryan, we learn details on Dierks Bentley‘s brand new album – which he’s in studio right now recording, writing “Springsteen,” what Eric Church is really like, and why Ryan is such a big fan of Charlie Worsham. Ryan is a great songwriter with a great personality, and see why you should be cheering for “Springsteen” to take home two awards for country music at next year’s GRAMMY awards.
