CMTT Exclusive: 10 Quick Quirky Questions with Paige Duke

Paige Duke

Paige Duke – the bachelorette from this season of CMT’s popular series Sweet Home Alabama, is a Clemson University graduate from Lancaster, S.C. that now works as a national representative for an outdoors retailer in Minnesota. Paige is also a part time model and veterinary technician. In her free time, she loves to spend time on the lake or at the beach and enjoys rodeos, hunting, fishing and watching sports. Paige owns two dogs that she adores and is hoping to find the perfect man to add to the mix.

And in case you are wondering how Paige might relate to country music, in addition to having a show on CMT, here are some points:

  • Paige has appeared in many music videos, including Brad Paisley’s “Old Alabama” and Brantley Gilbert’s “Kick it in the Sticks”
  • One of Paige’s suitors is Donny Fallgatter, a local musician here in Nashville who was secretly married to Whitney Duncan before she went on Survivor
  • Three of the guys on this season of Sweet Home Alabama have written Paige songs

Q. Who was your favorite country music artist when you were growing up?
A. Shania Twain, oh she was beautiful and her songs were so fun and confident!

Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Top Country Tweets of the Week – Week of February 19th

The Band Perry

10. The last year has been a whirlwind for @TheBandPerry. The band tweeted a pic from the start of their career a few years ago. “Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting Miss Kimberly Perry (at age 5). :)

9. She might not be able to walk down the street without getting growls, but at least @WhitneyDuncan didn’t get attacked by the dog in this tweet “A dog confused my boots with an animal this morn & growled at them. #bootswiththefurrrrrr #ihatemondays

8. One thing about being on the road is balancing life and career; @LauraBellBundy looked that dilemma in the eyes this week. “ALL of my girlfriends growing up r holding babies in their Facebook profiles! Am I that behind? I’m just havin too much fun to settle down!”

7. Not everyone is in love with Cupid. Jerrod Niemann (@JRodFromOz) is not a fan of the love bird “Caution: Cupid’s a freak. Never trust a chubby levitating baby w/ wings and a bow & arrow…it not even camo. Happy Valentine’s my friends!”

6. @BrettEldredge hit a twitter milestone this week – personally I love seeing a timeline full of Brett, but he seems to think not “I’ve tweeted 5,000 times exactly right now? Wow, I’m so sorry everyone, that’s a lot of looney Tooney info”

Miranda Lambert

5. This week was the week of love – a love of music and for Valentine’s Day.  Blake Shelton satisfied @Miranda_Lambert’s love of jewelry on the 14th “Y’all look at my V- day gift. I have been wanting this for a year and a half! I have the best husband in the world!”

4. @BlakeShelton is going to try to bring back the mullet -leave your thoughts on the hair trend in the comment section “That’s it!!! I’m tired of looking stupid and I can’t take it anymore!!! I’m growing my mullet back out!!!”

3. Why hire a team for promoting @JakeOwen? He is his own promoter “I’m totally guilty for just finding 2 of my albums at a truckstop and moving them to the front of display.”

2. Sometimes we all need a reminder just how lucky we are. @ChrisYoungMusic experienced just that this week “I love unexpected surprises. Just got one. #lifeiscool

1. Last week @Miranda_Lambert sat next to Lady Gaga at the Grammy’s – it’s a good thing that she didn’t sit next to Chris Brown.  This tweet has started a war between the two, but I have to say Miranda is #winning “How dang long did they give Nicki Minaj to do whatever that was? Strange. And Chris Brown twice? I don’t get it. He beat on a girl…”
