Featuring 'Brad Paisley and friends', the show will take place at the Santa Barbara Bowl on May 12th as the city continues to recover from the damage caused by the 9,133 fires across 1,381,405 acres of land, as well as the deadly mudslides caused by the flooding that same year.

Country music superstar Blake Shelton is bracing himself for a few “awkward” jokes and jibes about his recent divorce from Miranda Lambert at next month’s Country Music Awards ceremony.

The 39 year old was interviewed on NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ on Tuesday (October 27th), and revealed that he’s prepared for a few laughs at his expense, after he and his ex-wife Lambert, 31, announced their split earlier this summer.

Brad Paisley made his fans chortle today when he posted a selfie that he had taken with the infamous Westboro Baptist Church who were reportedly protesting against the country star's concert in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

A series of photos and videos on Paisley's Instagram account shows the singer pulling up at the protest site and rallying the church members, who were holding signs such as "God hates drunks," "Sin breeds violence," and "Repent or perish," for a good old team photo.

Last night’s CMAs were definitely surprising in more ways than one – it was a rookies’ night through and through, with first time winners dominating the list, for starters. More than that though, let’s talk about the fate of one emotional blonde lady in particular: Taylor Swift, who surprised everyone by… not winning. We’re as surprised as you are, but everyone’s favorite country girl went somewhat overlooked by the Country Music Association.

Swift accepted the award in a gorgeous red gown.

Well, that’s not entirely true. Of course Swift received a huge honor when she was announced as the second ever laureate of the Pinnacle award, which is arguably the highest honor bestowed by the Country Music Association, especially considering that Swift is only 23 and just on her fourth studio album. Considering that the only other winner of the Pinnacle Award has been Garth Brooks in 2005… well, you get the picture. It’s a pretty big deal.
