Taylor Swift is nominated for six American Music Awards and like her recent sweep of the Country Music Association, I don't see how she doesn't come away with more awards. There are also Male Artist and Country Group categories up for grabs on Sunday night.

Here's Trent Tomlinson in his own words. The video biography details his life, how he got to where he is and why he thinks "Angels Like Her" is the right song to be releasing right now.

Roughstock has learned today that Texas music star Kevin Fowler (the songwriter of "Beer Bait & Ammo," "Long Line of Losers,") who formerly had a national record deal with Clint Black's Equity Records, has signed a deal with Disney-owned Lyric Street Records.

Keith Urban has scored three huge hits from Defying Gravity yet not one of them has featured lyrical content that went beyond whimsy.  With his fourth single off the record, did the Aussie superstar manage to release a meaty lyric and melody?

It looks as if Brad Paisley, Bryan White and Keith Urban have company at the country singers married to hollywood stars table as Singer/Songwriter Josh Kelley, who is married to Katherine Heigl has signed a record deal with UMG Nashville.

Rising country act Gloriana will be representing country music, along with Taylor Swift, this coming Sunday when the American Music Awards program is telecast on ABC TV.  The Embem/Warner Brothers Quartet is up for Breakthrough Artist Of The Year.

It has been reported today that Taylor Swift has joined BMI in a lawsuit against a small little Idaho sports bar called The Sports Cellar.  The lawsuit claims that the bar hasn't payed BMI for the right to play their songwriter's songs over their speakers. Can you believe this?

Yesterday afternoon it was announced by George Strait and Lee Ann Womack that Lee Ann would be joining his tour with superstar Reba McEntire.  The tour, which starts in January 2010 at Baltimore's "First Mariner Center ends in April with a date in Des Moines, IA.

Even though "It's America" went #1 on the charts and the follow-up single "Fifteen Minutes" scored a Top 15 hit for Rodney, he seemed to be losing his charming homespun likeability.  That has changed as this single returns him to exactly what made him a star, relatability.

With their unexpected Single of the Year victory for "I Run To You" and displacing Rascal Flatts as the Vocal Group of the Year, Lady Antebellum leads this week's chart rundown as the trio leads country music's Hot 200 Albums chart dominance along with a few others.
