CMT Helps Southern Belle find Love in new Series
Small town boy or a guy from a big city? That’s the choice Devin Grissom is going to have to make in CMT’s new reality television series “Sweet Home Alabama.” She’s a University of Alabama public relations major that needs that extra help to find the love she’s been looking for. CMT rounded up 20 men from different backgrounds, (half from small towns and the other half from big cities), and will get her pick from the bunch of them. It’s the bachelorette – country style.
The men have been flown in to Alabama from all over the country, including New York, Los Angeles, and Mississippi, among other states. If you think it’s just another “Bachelor” dating show copycat, you’re wrong. In an interview with Country Weekly, Devin explains the difference between “Sweet Home Alabama” and “The Bachelor.”
“First, they wanted to make sure that I was completely comfortable. They didn’t ask me to do anything I was not comfortable with. Plus, when I had to reject a guy, I would sit down with him on the show and talk with him and explain why I made the decision I did.”
The show debuts on CMT on Thursday, July 14th at 9 pm EST.

Luke Bryan kicks off first Headlining tour with CMT
Ten years after first arriving in Nashville looking for a record deal, Luke Bryan and CMT have announced that he will headline the tenth annual CMT: On Tour in September. Special guests Lee Brice and Josh Thompson will open up for Bryan.
Bryan has previously opened for Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and Jason Aldean.
CMT: On Tour last year helped to launch Miranda Lambert into superstardom on her own first headlining tour across the United States. Other former stars that have participated in CMT: On Tour include Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, and Jason Aldean. Brad Paisley launched the tour back in 2002.
“If you move to town and you don’t dream to headline your own shows one day, then I don’t think you’re necessarily aiming your sights high enough,” Bryan told The Associated Press in a recent phone interview. “That’s kind of where we’re at today, and we’re just wanting to get out there and enjoy headlining.”
“CMT: On Tour Tailgates & Tanlines” will tour approximately 25 cities this Fall. Dates and cities are to be announced shortly on CMT.com. Bryan is preparing to release his newest studio album “Tailgates & Tanlines” on August 9th.
