Taylor Swift Makes CMA History

At 19 years old, Taylor Swift rocked the Country Music Association Awards this past Wednesday by winning all 4 awards for which she was nominated and making her the youngest person and first female solo act to win the Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year award. The golden girl of a singer said “I’ll never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me. Every single person in that category let me open up for them this year. Thank you all so much. I love you.” Taylor brought her band on stage to help her celebrate and her father was shown crying in the audience. Congratulations!

Mariah Carey Finally Gets It

Mariah Carey has released a new song. And with that release, I can unofficially say that her mediocre streak has finally come to an end. ‘100%’ was written for the singer’s Oscar-worthy new film ‘Precious’. And as much as I hate to say it, I like the song. No, scratch that. I absolutely love the song. It’s too bad that whoever chose this song to be sung by her and to be part of the film wasn’t the same person who was working on what songs to put on her album too. I’m sure whoever that guy was could have made a world of difference with the way her music career is going if he was.

Susan Boyle Talks Breakdown

Once she got her break on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle had no idea that it would lead to a breakdown. After going into a clinic to fight stress and anxiety, the singer is finally talking about what drove her over the edge. Susan said “There were phone calls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was constant. There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media — American television crews, too — surrounded the house. It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes. Everything had built up, and I was exhausted. You have to understand, my life ceased to be normal.”

Britney Spears is Upset with Australia

Britney Spears’ first tour in Australia continues to feel the heat and it’s making the pop star upset. After being criticized by the media for lip synching and reports of fans walking out of her concert, the singer’s tour promoter quickly came to her defense saying “Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it. She’s a human being. I’m embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.” Britney has always lip synched her performance and everyone is aware of that. So what’s with all the fuss?

Kris Allen Video

American Idol champ Kris Allen recently debuted the music video for his single ‘Live Like We’re Dying’. The 24-year old singer told PopEater “It was cool because we actually shot it in the desert in L.A. in the middle of nowhere in this junkyard. I’m pulling the big cord through the junkyard…then I plug in the clock and it starts counting down to zero. It was my first video, so I was really trying to have a great time.” Kris’ self-titled debut album will be in stores next week, November 17, Tuesday. Unlike Adam Lambert, Kris’ debut seems to be doing well enough.

Steven Tyler Leaves Aerosmith

Several sources are claiming that Steven Tyler has quit his job as the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith. The musician has encountered a slew of injuries this year, including a broken shoulder in August and guitarist Joe Perry says that they have not been in contact for a full month after the accident. Joe informed reporters that Steven has “quit as far as I can tell”, further explaining “I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.” Joe also says that Aerosmith still has plans to continue even without their mouth and will look for a new singer.
