FOX Country: Taylor Swift Has Grammy Hopes

Taylor Swift is up for ‘Album Of The Year’ at the Grammys, Hunter Hayes will perform at the awards show, Carrie Underwood & Kelly Clarkson make a Forbes list and Lady Antebellum is extending their tour.

FOX News Radio Entertainment Correspondent Sabrina Sabbagh has the scoop on the Country music stars making headlines this week:

Better late than never– Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes has been added to the Grammy performance lineup with only days to spare before the big show.

Hayes: “Yeah I don’t want easy, I want crazy…” (song)

The only Country star vying for the ‘Album Of The Year’ Grammy up against Sara Bareilles, Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, is Taylor Swift.

Swift: “Loving him was red…” (song)

The awards will be handed out on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Underwood: “Shatter every window till it’s all blown away…” (song)

Carrie Underwood tops the Forbes list of “American Idol” earners for 2013. She made $31 million dollars last year– which adds up to $83 million dollars over the past five years. After Underwood, it’s Kelly Clarkson who made $7 million.

Lady Antebellum: “Well, all the parties on the streets are talking…” (song)

Lady Antebellum will continue their ‘Take Me Downtown’ tour through August– thanks to several sold out shows and demand for more dates just two weeks into the tour.

That’s FOX Country from FOX News Radio.
