Taylor Swift doesn't have thick skin, she tells Taste of Country (after all, no good writer does) -- a trait only amplified during her live show, where she seems most at home. The 'Begin Again' superstar took the stage in the capital city of Austin, Texas on Tuesday night (May 21) wearing her heart on her sleeve and showing it off song by song, story by story.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which aired live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday night (May 19), brought out the biggest singing stars from all genres -- including country.
Trace Adkins was the king of the world -- or at least of NYC -- on Wednesday, May 15. The country superstar, last seen with a busted foot, performed at Manhattan's famed Hard Rock Cafe as part of a special engagement for SiriusXM listeners, members of the Red Cross and the USO. The performance was part of the Sounds of Summer programming.
Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson of Love and Theft may be handsome, but the newest addition to the LNT family is just too cute to compete with. Gunderson's new baby, Camden, is less than two months old, but already he's stealing hearts with his tiny face, prompting the type of adoration that only babies can. Proud 'Uncle' Stephen has shared a new photo of the little dude.
Hunter Hayes is emerging with his own unique style. The 'Wanted' singer often pairs sneakers with suits at red carpet events, but it works for him since his take on that trend is young and fresh, and his combinations manage to be youthful without being sloppy. He modernizes the notion of suit-like separates with cool colors and kicks, and you can get his look easily and for around $200.
Sunday was the first Mother's Day for Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles. She celebrated the holiday with another big first -- she debuted her son Magnus Hamilton Miller, born Dec. 6, 2012.
What a week for the Pistol Annies. They released their sophomore album 'Annie Up' and celebrated by performing 'Hush Hush' on the 'Today' show. They also got the good news that their debut, the 2011-released 'Hell on Heels,' was certified Gold, which means it moved 500,000 copies!
Taylor Swift's personal style is very all-American, classic and throwback -- she loves her tailored and nautically inspired pieces. She embodies both the girl next door and America's sweetheart at once with her preppy attire. When she's girly, she's adorable, like in this springy full A-line skirt and cable knit sweater in blue. You can recreate this warm weather-ready with ease. In fact, we've done it for just about $100.
Taylor Swift took time out of her busy schedule to attend the biggest fashion event of the year on Monday (May 6), the 2013 Met Ball aka the Met Gala. It's an A-list event, and the fashion community eagerly anticipates what the stars will wear. Swift did not disappoint, donning a black J. Mendel gown with an embellished bodice and slightly see-through side panels.
