Today's Country Tidbits

Carrie and Brad are a couple again - at the CMA Awards, that is. The two of them will co-host the awards show for the third year in a row, live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on November 10th. The nominees will be revealed next Tuesday and Wednesday mornings on ABC's Good Morning America.

Billy Currington got to live a dream while recording his upcoming cd, "Enjoy Yourself." He took the title seriously, moving the recording session to Key West when Jimmy Buffett's Shrimpboat Sound Studios became available. He would go from the beach to the studios, then back to the beach. Nice work if you can get it!

More news from the Nashville baby boom - Zac Brown and his wife Shelley are expecting their 4th daughter early next year. Justice, Lucy and Georgia are the other three girls. Hope Zac at least has a boy dog in the house - he's way outnumbered!

Kenny Chesney stopped by his old high school on Wednesday to give the students a sneak-peek of his documentary, "The Boys of Fall." A one-hour version will air Sunday afternoon at 2 eastern on ESPN.

Trisha Yearwood co-hosted the Today show yesterday morning, and in case you missed it, here she is!


This morning, Josh Turner co-hosts the Today show, Lady Antebellum plays the Good Morning America summer concert series, and tonight, it's the big premier of Taylor Swift's video for her new song, "Mine," on all of the music channels starting at 8 eastern. Can't wait til then? Here's a sneak-peek at the video.


And here's a behind-the-scenes look at it.


Happy birthday to Jeff Cook of Alabama today and Shania Twain tomorrow.

The tweet of the day happened at 4:22 this morning, and is from David Nail: "So the countdown is underway for the fall tour with @ladyantebellum! So blessed for this, so lucky, so many other adjectives! Goodnite!"
