Top Tweets of the Week – Week of November 20th

Cherrill Green's photo End of tour after party with @reba!!!
Cherrill Green on WhoSay
10. This week was the end of Reba’s All the Women I am Tour and she threw a party for the opening acts after the show. “End of tour after party with @reba!!!”

9. Songwriting is how @KipMooreMusic makes a living, but he lost his lifeline this week “Left my computer outside Newark airport….8 years worth of song lyrics..guess who didn’t back his computer up… This genius”
UPDATE: Kip has found his computer! “Holy shit someone just called me from jersey w my computer rt as chuck Norris was telling me stay in the fight!”

8. Sometimes drivers don’t understand what it means to be in a rush. @JimmyWayne wants to know what to do if it happens “if your limo driver is driving 15 miles under the speed limit is it ok to take over the car as long as there’s no duct tape & rope involved?”

7. I don’t think @BrettEldredge thought through this idea. Every bar would need a lifeguard to save the drunks if this happened “Every hotel should be required to have a swim up bar…. Better yet, every bar should be a swim up bar”

6. This week TV changed forever. Regis Philbin retired from Live with Regis and Kelly. @AshleyMonroe from the Pistol Annies shared her emotions with the world “That’s it .. I’m BAWLING during regis’ farewell.. DEVASTATING. COMPLETELY DEVASTATING!!!!”

Dierks Bentley's photo duct taped boots and a blown out hole in the crotch of my jeans! time to say goodbye to #countryandcoldcans tour!
5. @DierksBentley’s Country and Cold Cans Tour came to an end this week. If it went any longer, he would have had to buy a new wardrobe! “duct taped boots and a blown out hole in the crotch of my jeans! time to say goodbye to #countryandcoldcans tour!”

4. You know @ZacBrownBand likes their chicken fried, but if you want fried turkey, they have some advice for you “If you like your turkey fried… follow the safety precautions.”

3. All tour, @TaylorSwift13 has been bringing out special guests, but South Carolina had a great surprise – Darius Rucker! I can’t wait to see who she brings out for her final shows. “Darius Rucker came out and sang with me tonight in South Carolina! such an amazing crowd! Hard to believe we only have 2 shows left..”

2. The start of everyone’s favorite season – hunting season – was this week. @Miranda_Lambert took advantage of opening weekend. “It’s 74 degrees in this blind. Should have brought my cooler. Did remember my laptop tho and of course my 308:)”

1. Charles of @LadyAntebellum is on his first headlining tour. After the first weekend, he already had fan-inflicted wounds. “gash marks from sticking my hand into a group of long fingernailed women on the own the night tour, ha. – charles”

This week @SteelMagnolia11’s members made their own twitter accounts. You can follow Meg at @MeghanLinsey and Josh at @JoshScottJones.

45th Annual CMA Awards Recap…

It was a night of new victors and returning champions at “The 45th Annual CMA Awards” Wednesday night in Nashville.

Taylor Swift won her second CMA Entertainer of the Year trophy. Newlyweds Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton won Female Vocalist and Male Vocalist for the second consecutive year. Jason Aldean won his first two CMA Awards for Musical Event of the Year with Kelly Clarkson, and Album of the Year for My Kinda Party. The Band Perry won their first Awards for Single of the Year for “If I Die Young” and New Artist of the Year. Kimberly Perry claimed an additional trophy for Song of the Year for penning the hit song. Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter won for Music Video of the Year. Lady Antebellum picked up their third trophy for Vocal Group of the Year, and Sugarland won Vocal Duo of the Year for the fifth time.

Swift won the Horizon Award (now New Artist of the Year) in 2007 and was named Entertainer of the Year for the first time in 2009.

“One of my favorite things about this year is all the camaraderie between all these artists that I could call and say, ‘Hey, do you want to come sing with me?’” said Swift. “And there were more artists who showed up just out of the goodness of their heart and came out and performed for the fans at my shows.”

She then read out all the names of people who had performed with her, written on her hand, and ended by exclaiming, “You have made my year! Thank you so much!”

“The 45th Annual CMA Awards” was hosted for the fourth time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on ABC.

Sir Paul McCartney has given his “whole-hearted blessing” to “Let Us In” Nashville, a campaign led by Reviver Music to raise awareness and proceeds for this charity which promotes prevention, lifestyle awareness, enhances available health services and advocates advanced breast cancer and children’s cancer research.

You can find a full track listing from the album here.

 

The concert featured performances by Sarah Darling, SHeDAISY, Steel Magnolia, Phil Vassar, Cheyenne Kimball, Juliana Cole, Jeff Daniels, Nikki Shannon Fernandez, Jordyn Shellhart, Chuck Wicks, Nancy Sirianni, Samantha Landrum, and Blue Sky Riders.

James Otto Filling In as a Steel Magnolia

With Joshua Scott Jones in rehab, James Otto is filling in as the male voice of Steel Magnolia. Meghan Linsey posted a photo of her singing with Otto.

James tells GAC-TV his and Linsey’s “musical tastes are very similar.” Since Steel Magnolia is one of Reba McEntire’s opening acts this fall Otto says “Man, who wouldn’t want to be out on tour with Reba McEntire? That was one of those things that’s a no-brainer.”
