Taylor Swift has the new attendance record for Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Country USA with an estimated crowd of 42-thousand came to the festival's opening night last Wednesday.

By all appearances, it was the largest attendance in our 14-year history." But Swift's participation in the event also resulted in some traffic problems. Taylor's bus jackknifed on the one of the exit roads, blocking that route out of the area. Between the limited access and large number of concertgoers, it took some attendees as much as two hours just to leave the parking area.

With a record, comes another cover too. This weekend look for Ty Ty on the coverof the latest issue of Glamour .

Dierks Bentley notches his seventh No. 1 career single with "Sideways" as it tops Billboard's country singles chart this week.

"We've been kicking our show off with 'Sideways' and it gets the party started quickly!" says Dierks about the fan reaction to the song. "Thanks to all the fans that have fun, get wild and a little 'sideways' during our show."


Brooks & Dunn are adding a hits compilation to autumn's album release schedule, perhaps around the time of Indian summer.

They're among the leading projects slated for late summer and fall release. Brooks & Dunn's #1s ... and then some features "Indian Summer" and one other brand new song, "Honky Tonk Stomp," in a 30-track collection stuffed with 23 chart-topping singles. It hits the streets Sept. 8.

Other CDs on the way include Justin Moore's debut, set for Aug. 11 release; Tim McGraw on Nov. 20; Reba McEntire's Keep On Loving You, Aug. 18; a new album from Terri Clark; and the next CD by George Strait, which is simply titled Twang.

The complete track list for Brooks & Dunn's #1s ... and then some includes:

• A Man This Lonely
• Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
• Believe
• Boot Scootin' Boogie
• Brand New Man
• Cowgirls Don't Cry (featuring Reba McEntire)
• He's Got You
• Hillbilly Deluxe
• Honky Tonk Stomp
• How Long Gone
• Husbands and Wives

• That Ain't No Way to Go
• The Long Goodbye
• We'll Burn That Bridge
• You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone


Count Reba McEntire as one of the many country stars who've joined the Twitter craze.

Dial-Global reported that yesterday, Reba's tweet said she was doing interviews all day. She also busted her husband Narvel Blackstock's client Blake Shelton, who has been tweeting like a madman and isn't always very nice or "PG" in his tweets.

Reba posted, "Do u think Blake Shelton Drunk Tweets? Read his Tweets! Sounds like it to me... I'm just sayin'..." Later, Reba Twittered, "To all my Tweebas! I told Blake to clean up his Tweets! My mama is reading them! Yes, he does spell better when he drinks..."

Blake's response? "Just found out Reba's mom is following me. So... like I was saying, I'm about to have some kool-aid and watch cartoons..."

Reba's visit to GAC was just as entertaining. While at the studio, she discussed her upcoming CD, Keep On Loving You. She also filmed a GACTV.com "Guide To..." web series, which will debut in August, in which she gives pointers on the three items every woman should have in her wardrobe, keeping romance alive, what really happens backstage at awards shows, and several more topics.



Sugarland releases "Joey"

Sugarland will be releasing the fourth single from their current album, Love On The Inside.

Joey was written by the duo (Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, with Bill Anderson) and talks about a young life taken too soon in a preventable accident. The narrator contemplates how things would have been if she hadn't let herself fall in love in the first place, and how she'll say his name with her last breath.

It's a sad song, but a little distracting with the upbeat tempo. Jennifer pulls it off beautifully but it doesn't stick with me like it would if it were slower and more moody. What do you think?

Josh Turner's wife, Jennifer, gave birth to the couple's second son, Colby Lynch Turner, on Friday.

"[Two-year-old] Hampton loves being a big brother and we're just one big happy family," the proud papa says. Colby arrived just after his dad finished recording his latest album. "We finished the album last Thursday at 6 p.m."

Josh reveals. "After I got home, Jennifer went into labor and we were at the hospital by 10:30 p.m. that night. Now that's what I call perfect timing."


Most country fans know you don't mess with George Strait. Well George learned you also don't mess with football fans either.

George had something happen that I've never heard of happening before. He got booed. But never fear, it had nothing to do with his music, it had to do with him honoring the Dallas Cowboys.

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

You don't mess with them Packer fans is the lesson learned here I guess.

George played to a packed house at the Marcus Amphitheater in Milwaukee last night, June 29, and while paying homage to our great state of Texas, an image of the Cowboys Super Bowl win popped up.

Cue the catcalls and boos.

But never fear, the Cheese Heads didn't hold a grudge for very long and soon everyone was getting along just fine. In fact, On Milwaukee.com describes it as a "full-blown love fest."
