Reid and Kimberly Perry of The Band Perry have a goal Grammy night. Sure, they'd like to win Best Country Song for "If I Die Young," but they're not in control of that goal.

Lee Brice didn't have much fun in LA this week. His tour bus was disabled by an LA city bus. It sideswiped Lee's bus, knocking the mirror off, then running over it, totally smashing it. Lee took the news hard, considering how long he's waited to own a tour bus. "I was in a van for three years with my whole band and we were pushing through all over the country in a 15 passenger van. So then 'Love Like Crazy' comes along and it gets just enough money to where you can pay for a bus and you can now enjoy this career that you've worked hard for." The bus couldnt' be driven without the mirror, so all of the band's gear was loaded into a Tahoe and taken to The Viper Room in time for Lee's show. No word on how long it'll take to get a new mirror installed.
