Through all the media scrutiny surrounding the pending lawsuit against Sugarland, a spark of positivity has surfaced.

While it’s possible that Sugarland‘s tour manager resisted delaying the start of the tragic Indiana State Fair show on the band’s behalf last August, the conversation was never relayed to Jennifer Nettles.

Jennifer Nettles was clearly glowing from the countdown to her big wedding day when she filmed the ‘CMA Country Christmas’ special! The Sugarland singer hosted this year’s holiday event by bringing warm yuletide cheer to the crowd — and by wearing festive (may we say daring?) outfits at the show.

Though the Grammys are still more than two months away, music fans can get a taste of the action tonight during the fourth annual ‘Grammy Nominations Concert Live’ special, featuring performances from several Grammy-worthy acts. Sugarland will be teaming up with Lady Gaga for the eccentric pop star’s ‘You and I,’ and Jason Aldean will be hitting the stage with Ludacris for Aldean’s own ‘Dirt Road

Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles is off the market. The singer quietly married her longtime beau, entrepreneur Justin Miller, in a small ceremony in Tennessee over the weekend. Nettles and Miller have been dating for over two years.

Jennifer Nettles admits that 2011 has been a “tumultuous” year for Sugarland, and hints that it will be some time before she and partner Kristian Bush make their next move.
