Awards

Tim McGraw performed 'Highway Don't Care' at the 2013 Academy of Country Music awards on Sunday night (April 7), and a couple of high-powered friends dropped in to help him out.

Little Big Town took home the 2013 ACM Award for Vocal Group of the Year. It was a breakout past 12 months for the troupe, thanks to their smash hit 'Pontoon.' They've been doing their thing for so long and thanks to their monstrous, breakthrough year, this award was well-deserved and equally as hard-earned.

Eric Church took another step away from being a Nashville outsider to being the new mainstream of Music City by winning Album of the Year at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 7), beating such huge acts as Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Little Big Town.

George Strait performed his current single 'Give It All We Got Tonight' at the 2013 ACM Awards show on Sunday (April 7). The superstar is planning to release a new album later this year, and is currently on his farewell tour. Despite some audio difficulties, the crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas still gave the King a healthy round of applause.

The big 2013 ACM Awards winners in Las Vegas were Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan. Lambert took home three trophies, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Single and Song of the Year for 'Over You.' The singer couldn't help but become emotional as she accepted her fifth straight Female Vocalist trophy.

The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards will air live on Sunday night (April 7) from Las Vegas. The annual awards show features a lineup that's a veritable Who's Who of contemporary country, but this year there's going to be one notable absence: Justin Moore. The singer skipped out on Vegas a day early to keep another, more important commitment.

Luke Bryan is bigger than ever, with four ACM Awards nominations and a super successful Dirt Road Diaries Tour, but even the biggest stars have a case of nerves. In fact, when he was asked to step into the iconic Reba McEntire's shoes of co-hosting the ACMs, he almost turned down the offer.

Kacey Musgraves is gaining a lot of attention with the recent release of her Mercury Records debut album, 'Merry Go Round.' In fact, she seems to be taking the country music world by storm, as she's garnered two 2013 ACM Nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year.

If you've been hankering for some new tunes from Hunter Hayes, the wait is almost over. During the 2013 ACM Awards on April 7, the rising country music star has promised to premiere a brand new single for viewers.

The three-day outdoor Watershed Music Festival is only two years in the making, but it's drawing some big names to headline the performances. Luke Bryan, Toby Keith and Brad Paisley are among the talented country crooners who will take the stage at The Gorge Amphitheatre August 2-4. Sounds like this is a "can't miss" experience!

If there's one thing to be learned from this Oscar season, it's that everybody loves Jennifer Lawrence. Her down-to-Earth attitude and wacky sense of humor easily make her our most GIF-ready star. So here's some more Jennifer Lawrence for you...

Keith Urban and his A-list actress wife Nicole Kidman dressed up for the biggest night in cinema and absolutely sparkled on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday night (Feb. 24). As you can see from this gallery of pictures, the two looked confident, comfortable and very much in love as they made their way through the photographers gallery to their seats inside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
