Taylor Swift performed 'Superman,' a rare track from the deluxe edition of her current album 'Speak Now,' for the very first time in concert last night (September 24) in Kansas City, Mo. during a special solo acoustic segment.

Carrie Underwood showed off a brand-new haircut this weekend at the IHeartradio Music Festival, adding bangs and layers and apparently trimming a bit of length all around from her previous look.

Taylor Swift was about the only country star making the scene at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, despite the fact that a number of her peers were also nominated for awards at Fox's nationally televised event. Hm, maybe that amazing work ethic is one more reason why she's on top of the competition?

Of all the adventurous things the rock band known as Ween has done over their career, recording a straight-up country album with legendary Nashville session musicians was probably the most surprising.

Country music's teddy-bear sweetheart with 'The Voice,' Jeff Jenkins, delivered a typically emotional reading of Carrie Underwood's 'Jesus Take the Wheel' on tonight's episode of the TV singing competition.

If you think Chuck Wicks is nervous about sharing the stage with Josh Turner and other country stars in front of 20,000 screaming music fans at Buffalo, N.Y.'s WYRK Taste of Country concert tonight, June 3, well, let's just say he's slayed bigger dragons this week. And we mean that almost literally, because Wicks shot and felled a 700-pound alligator just two days ago.

From the sound of his interview with WYRK DJ John LaMond, Josh Thompson is more than ready to share the stage with Josh Turner and the other country stars at the Buffalo, N.Y. station's Taste of Country concert tonight, June 3. In fact, he's got a special custom-made guitar that he seems pretty excited to show off at the event.

Josh Turner took a break from preparing to headline tonight's Taste of Country concert in Buffalo, N.Y. this afternoon to speak to WYRK's John LaMond about his plans for the evening (June 3), which he says will include an off-stage basketball rematch with Chris Young.

Scotty McCreery received more votes than Lauren Alaina and was crowned the winner of Season 10 of 'American Idol.'  The young country singer remained impressively composed and humble after the announcement.

Lauren Alaina more than held her own with returning 'American Idol' champion Carrie Underwood, during a duet of the latter's 2006 smash 'Before He Cheats.'
