Danielle Bradbery’s ‘Heart of Dixie’
It’s been less than a month since 16-year old Danielle Bradbery was crowned the Season 4 winner of “The Voice,” but the upcoming country singer is set to release her debut single “Heart Of Dixie” next week. The single tells the story of a woman (not a girl), who leaves her dead end job, dead-beat husband and life behind in pursuit of a better life. Awfully grown up lyrical content for a 16-year old, who many predicted would be the female answer to Hunter Hayes. The fresh-faced teen’s first performance on a stage was her blind audition on the hit NBC series, so songwriting was no hold up in getting…

What The GIF? Vol. 6
It’s that time of year again. For one (very long) weekend in June, Nashville is invaded by the fried-food loving, cowboy boot wearing country fans that flood the downtown streets in hopes of getting a glimpse of their favorite country superstars. Superstars who aren’t anywhere to be found other than their black SUVs and on the main stage at LP Field. But still, this long time tradition once known simply as Fan Fair is a Music City staple. Nashville residents – if not working the festival or with one of the artists playing the festival – typically take the long weekend to travel out of state or hibernate, catching up on…

Video Premiere: Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran "Everything Has Changed"
Taylor Swift‘s latest single “Everything Has Changed,” which features her Red tour’s opening act Ed Sheeran, now has an innocently sweet accompanying video. The clip, released on Vevo today, follows the budding friendship between two adorable children – who just happen to be the exact doppelgängers of Swift and Sheeran. Unlike Swift’s previous videos, the singer-songwriter doesn’t appear in the video until the final moments where she and Sheeran make brief cameos. The single, from Swift’s smash hit album Red, follows mega-successful hits “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Begin Again,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “22.” The duo, who both appeared on last night’s CMT Awards will continue…

Video Premiere: Tim McGraw "Highway Don’t Care"
They say what comes around, goes around. And by “they,” I’m sure you know I mean Justin Timberlake. The debut of Tim McGraw‘s new video for “Highway Don’t Care” seems to prove that popular lyric’s sentiment. You probably remember it wasn’t long ago that the young blonde country phenomenon known as Taylor Swift burst upon the music scene with her first single “Tim McGraw.” Now, with the addition of Keith Urban, the singer teamed up with the man she paid homage to years ago. The single off McGraw’s Two Lanes of Freedom record has been racing up the country charts and now, with the addition of a dramatic new video the single will…

Last week, I “introduced” YouTube sensation turned mainstream pop-rocker Tyler Ward to my Tragic Kingdom readers.
