Country Kid Pictures

We're just weeks away from the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival, and the countdown is on! The festival kicks off on June 12 at Hunter Mountain in New York, and this year's lineup is stacked. Throwback with us as you flip through pictures of our 2015 acts ... as kids! What could be…

Lip syncing is the new singing, right? Totally — especially when it's done with a lot of sass by an adorable 5-year-old (and her pops).

This young man came from humble beginnings to become one of music's sexiest and most successful stars. That's right, "music" -- not just country music!

Nowadays, this Texas-based singer is more often seen with a guitar in his hand than a chicken, and fans sure are happy about that. Even though he's grown some scruff on that baby face and his hair has darkened up a bit, we aren't surprised to see this mystery man was poppin' his colla…

The heart around this sweet kindergartener's face was a premonition for his future.

The gap between his teeth is no longer there, but the blonde hair on this cute kid's head is still sported by the now country star, although it's a bit longer and darker, and has also turned curly. He's still got the same eyes too. Do you know who this kid is?

The Easter bunny may be in hiding for another year, but this country artist certainly isn't going anywhere. She doesn't have blunt bangs any longer, but her smile and dark eyes are ever-present today. This cutie has transformed from an adorable little girl into a country knockout. Can you …

A paper mâché horse, princess gown, and a cone hat (complete with a chin strap) are all a little girl needs to live out her fantasy fairy tale.

Dark brown hair and piercing eyes are still trademarks of this country singer. But he's filled out quite a bit since his football days. In fact he looks like a true linebacker now! And he's also sporting something else that a young kid only dreams of: a beard.

This country songstress still has those deep brown eyes portrayed in her baby picture, but she's turned from a sassy little girl into a gorgeous singer, known for her lavish locks and sultry, sexy looks.
