MORE GRAMMY STUFF (Items on Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, LeAnn Rimes, Jessica Simpson, Julianne Hough, Kellie Pickler, George Strait)

Sugarland and Taylor Swift have been added to the performance lineup for this year's Grammy Awards. Sugarland is up for two awards at this year's ceremony on CBS February 8.
"Fifteen" from Taylor's "Fearless" smash will be the ditty Taylor will sing, in a duet with Miley Cyrus (and also the age of the target demo CBS hopes to attract with this pairing, though it'll more likey be creepy, middle-aged men).
Sheryl Crow and a bunch of people from CBS shows (The Eyeball broadcasts the show on February 8) have also been added as presenters.
Meanwhile, CBS decided you have to be blonde to announce The Academy of Country Music Awards nominees next week, which is why LeAnn Rimes, Jessica Simpson, Julianne Hough and Kellie Pickler will do the honors from The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Music City. The ACM Awards will be broadcast live from Las Vegas on April 5th on the network.
Also, over at Country Weekly, the nominees have already been "announced." And the country music community is embracing Jessica, and I'm loving that there's more to embrace.
Back to Taylor for a sec, because there's always Taylor news...like this new spot for the NHL's Nashville Predators....



...and I'm not done with Taylor yet, because she just added her buddy, Kellie Pickler, to her tour.

Cowboys Nation is Glad that Julianne Hough, Not Jessica Simpson is the Opening Act: The Dallas Cowboys are playing in a new stadium this fall and the $1.1 billion complex will first be the site of several concerts, apparently, and that'll include George Strait, maybe.

If You're Part of the "Much" Crowd," ...You're anticipating the new Daryle Singletary album, which drops April 21.

I'm Gonna Be Somewhere: Travis Tritt just added a few new dates.
