Awards

Taylor Swift had the distinct honor of closing out the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' -- the longest song title in history -- and we were a little underwhelmed by it all.

Taylor Swift has a case of the nerves! The singer will be performing at the MTV VMAs tonight (Sept. 6), where she will likely be debuting a live version of a song from her forthcoming album, ‘Red.’ While she may be a pro with lots of experience, she confessed that she still gets shaken up about major performances like this one.

Taylor Swift is accustomed to fans asking her on dates or boldly requesting to accompany her to major events, like the Grammys or the VMAs. But now, the actor who plays her ex-boyfriend in the ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ video has asked to accompany his co-star to the VMAs this Thursday, Sept. 6. He even resorted to begging! Hey, everyone knows the VMAs are one hot ticket.

Taylor Swift has won two of the last three Entertainer of the Year trophies at the CMA Awards, but she’ll face four men equally as deserving at the 2012 show on Nov. 1. A strong case could make for all five artists announced as nominees on Wednesday (Sept. 5), but who do you think should win?

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan were in Bangor over the Labor Day weekend and this morning they had the honor of announcing the 2012 CMA nominees. Hot country star Eric Church just got a little hotter. The ‘Drink in My Hand’ hitmaker leads the 2012 CMA Award nominations with a whopping five.

Attendees, recipients and viewers of the 2012 American Country Awards will be in for a treat this year, thanks to Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth. The two hilarious country stars will return to host the ACAs for the second year in a row.
