Posted by Country Girl on May 20th, 2012

Jana Kramer

10. If there is one tour to be an opening act, it is for Brad Paisley. @KramerGirl found that out this weekend “@bradpaisley took us to go see the Avengers after the show tonight!! Thanks Brad!!”

9. Having seen @FrankieBallard’s live show, I don’t think he needs a gym membership – every night is a workout “Gotta new gym membership today…left with useless arms and a gladiator like appetite…let’s get ripped”

8. The tales of a teenager from @Lauren_Alaina “I don’t have Ex’s I have Y’s. Like Y the heck did I date you?!?! #truth”

7. Cupid aka @BrettEldredge set up a blind date last week. Here is his update on the couple “Just met the people I matchmakered & they have more chemistry then my high school Chem teacher! That guy really knew his protons & neutrons”

6. One year ago it all started for @ScottyMcCreery – tours, platinum albums, shows, etc. “Crazy to think that 1 year ago today was one of the best days of my life.”

Dierks Bentley on WhoSay
5. @DierksBentley has always supported the armed services. He did just that this week. “best way to get pumped up before a show??? hang out with some navy seals!!”

4. Having been performing for over a decade, @BradPaisley doesn’t have any ‘cobwebs’ in his show “As a crowd St. Louis, you were spot on. So great. We the band, on the other hand, we need to get the cobwebs out. Hope you loved it though!”

3. It is now time for an insight to pregnancy from @MartinaMcBride “This pressure to “take off the babyweight”so soon after birth is crazy.I say,all u should worry about is nurturing yourself and your baby.”

2. @BlakeShelton rarely opens up to the fans, but seeing this reminds us all what’s important “Strange how when you come to a sudden stop that long line of things you’ve been trying to out run slams right back into you.. I miss my dad.”

lady a

1. Starting as a prom contest, @LadyAntebellum had no idea that they would be changing a community forever. “What a great night with an incredible community. Over $285,000 raised. Thank you for #RebuildingHenryville with us!!”

Top Country Tweets of the Week – April 22nd

Posted by Country Girl on April 22nd, 2012

Brett Eldredge

10. There is only one thing @BrettEldredge loves as much as music – fish. “No fish I will not make out with you!?”

9.  @LeeBrice recently got sponsored by Bud Light – here’s what he had to say about that! “Id like to thank bud light for sponsoring me.. It’s like a duck being sponsored by water!”

8. Every once in a while we just need a good joke.  This week @FrankieBallard provided that. “Commercial flight has become so plane…”

7. This week music lost one of it’s greatest people. @ThompsonSquare had the best words for the loss “Thanks Dick Clark for all the wonderful memories from my childhood watching American Bandstand! #RIPDICKCLARK Shawna”

6. Sometimes I wonder how Jerrod Niemann (@JRodFromOz) comes up with these things “Not sure if love is completely blind…probably more like a cyclops with cataracts”

Darius Rucker

5. I can’t imagine standing in the Opry circle, let alone being on the walls of the Opry. @DariusRucker has experienced both “Seeing this on the @opry wall tonight… Totally speechless.”

 

4. @MartinaMcBride is one of the most grounded people in country music – “Having a great talk with my husband this morning on the back porch. Best friend. Good coffee. Beautiful morning. Life is good.”

3. Leave it to @DierksBentley to live out a song “anchorage Alaska…question: is it possible to party until the sun comes up when it never really goes down this time of year?! let’s try!!”

2. At least I’m not the only one that gets bothered by this – @ChrisYoungMusic tweeted: “Good lord. It’s just Country. Not Country and Western people.”

1. I guess it takes a country legend to get @BlakeShelton speechless! “‘@merlehaggard: Blake congratulations on your number one!!!’ Everybody stop!! Hats off.. Moment of silence.. Merle Haggard just tweeted me!!”

Top Country Tweets of the Week – March 18th-April 1st

Posted by Country Girl on April 1st, 2012

Jake Owen

10. Country artists are sponsored by automobile companies and alcohol companies, but not too many boot companies.  @JakeOwen just joined the list of artists who have worn holes in their shoes. “I’ve literally worn holes in the soles of my boots. A good pair of boots is a must have. These have seen their days”

9.  With the start of April we are about to say goodbye to a month of Madness – March Madness that is!  Brent Anderson (@Brents2Cents) won’t know what to do with his freetime “I think I’m finally over the hump with this flu stuff. I feel great today! Now let the madness continue!! #marchmadness”

8. New music is on its way from @FrankieBallard “One more day of vocals and these cookies are done! Let me clear my throat! Agh..agh”

7. Have a pigeon flying around your house? @BrettEldredge can come to the rescue! “There is currently a Godzilla sized pigeon flying around the Newark airport…Ill tackle that thing if a have to”

6. @ThompsonSquare has spent the majority of the last year on the road.  They weren’t used to the conditions of their latest bus, however. “well the 2nd bus broke down again. now we’re packed in one bus like the small silver fish they put on pizza!

Kellie Pickler

5. Who let @KelliePickler out of her cage again? “Playing checkers at the Barrel of Crackers… :) ”

4. This week country music lost a legend. @DierksBentley expressed his sympathy in this tweet “lost one of the pillars of bluegrass music and country music today. rest in peace #earlscruggs! thanks for a lifetime of music to listen to!”

3. Although Hockey is currently Nashville’s sport of the season, @BradPaisley has his eyes on the fall “Hey @TimTebow Nashville’s really a great place to live. Just sayin’.”

2. Hey @BlakeShelton!  Do you remember when you actually had to wait for CDs to come out to get songs? “New favorite song right now “Shining on Me” by Jerrod Niemann…. I mean favorite by a MILE!!!!! I can’t find on iTunes though!!! Shit!!!”

**For those of you who would like Jerrod’s song, it will be available on April 10th on iTunes**

Taylor Swift

1. Hunger Games Mania is taking over country music! @TaylorSwift13 has a piece of history in her home “This just came in the mail. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)”

New Twitter Alert!  The dynamic duo of @SugarlandMusic has now started individual accounts – be sure to follow @JenniferNettles and @KristianBush

Top Country Tweets of the Week – Week of March 18th

Posted by Country Girl on March 18th, 2012

Jason Jones

10. Jason Jones (@Jonesville) has been hitting the road hard the last few years to gain some recognition. According to his fortune, 2012 is his year. “Confucius say…”

9. Some say that radio has become too vulgar, but according to @FrankieBallard, it may be even harder to say certain words on the airwaves “Remember that song, I wanna sex you up….how’d they get away with that? We can’t even say ass…”

8. With Saturday being St. Patrick’s Day, I had to include this tweet from @BrettEldredge “Don’t judge if I drink a green beer today, the skittle eatin leprechaun dude made me do it”

7. I agree with @LauraBellBundy that there is no place like home, but she may need Depends to offset that feeling “I’m so happy to be back in my home in Nashville that I think I just pee’d a little! #happiness”

6. What would be cooler than @JakeOwen asking your date to prom? He did just that this week in the following series of tweets. “Hey @larissa_lewisss. My name is Jake. We’ve never met, but I have a question for you. Hope to hear from you, -J” “‘@larissa_lewisss: hey jake! What’s the question?’ @tylermiles14 wants you to go to prom w/ him. I said I’d ask u if he treated you nice” “‘@larissa_lewisss: @jakeowen @tylermiles14 Yes,of course!!!! You can tell Tyler he has a date! :) ))’ Tyler, you owe me. You’re welcome bro”

Toby Keith

5. @TobyKeithMusic now shares something in common with Lady A – underwear. Charles, Dave, and Hillary have been spotted many times with their Ellen underwear, and now Toby has a pair “Just taped the @TheEllenShow & Ellen gave me some underwear. Check it out – t”

4. Over the last 10 years, @MartinaMcBride has seen a lot, but this may be a first for her “Dear Guy Standing In The Middle Of The Road While Your Dog Takes A Dump On The Grass, Please do not stand in the middle of the road. Thank u”

3. If you’ve ever been to a @JoeNichols show, you would know that he has a tendency to get off topic. This week he got tested to see if this was ADD. Here’s what he had to say “They gave me a 144 question test to see if I was A.D.D…….now we’ll never know”

2. Sometimes in the midst of @BlakeShelton’s drunkenness, we forget the little things. He tweeted this to us “I love y’all… Really.”

Dierks Bentley on WhoSay
1. This week, a few stars went down under to visit Aussie country music fans. It has provided a learning experience for @DierksBentley “just when u think you’re getting a pretty good handle on the aussie slang and inside jokes… this. translation?!”
