It’s pretty easy to lose track of time at the Taste of Country Music Festival, so we’ve customized an app that lets you customize your experience!

Why isn't a country superstar performing during halftime of the Super Bowl? It's a fair question, and one country fans have asked every year since Shania Twain took the stage in 2003. Surely there are stars big enough to draw the nation's interest, right? Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes argues that fans of Nashville's biggest names should actually be grateful for this missed opportunity.  Read

Sorry, Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw. The big winners at the 2014 Grammys are going to be women. This may not bother the 'Doin' What She Likes' singer, as his wife Miranda Lambert scored multiple nominations and is always a favorite to take home the hardware. Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson are other country female nominees for the Jan. 26 ceremony.

Taste of Country readers stepped up in a big way for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Bids on a guitar signed by over 70 country stars topped $6,000, with the winner putting down the winning bid of $6,200 to make dreams come true.

23 year-old Thomas Rhett will be in town in less that 2 weeks for the BIG show! He just recently wrapped up the 'Night Train' tour with Jason Aldean, now he is wrapping up the Taste of Country Christmas Tour. Because he's been on the road so much lately we asked what it the downfall of being of tour...

We asked Thomas Rhett during his phone interview what he like more, writing music or performing? He said they are both very different but would much rather be in front of thousands of screaming fans. He is currently wrapping up the 'Night Train Tour' with Jason Aldean performing in front of 15,000-20,000 everynight...

The first-ever Taste of Country Music Festival is now behind us. What started as a rainy weekend ended with country music fans spread across the hill, dancing along with songs by Lady Antebellum, Billy Currington, Hunter Hayes and many more. Real estate was difficult to come by for the entire three-day festival, but Saturday's nice weather really packed Hunter Mountain.

The 2013 Taste of Country Music Festival began at 6:30PM on June 13 and wrapped at 11:15PM on June 15. In that time, thousands of fans camped out to wait for their favorite singers, duos and trios, or drove hundreds of miles to stay for just one day. No matter how you add it up, the first-ever festival was a success.

Before taking the stage to play the Taste of Country Music Festival on Friday night (June 14), the five men of Blackberry Smoke talked about the burgeoning country music scene in Atlanta and how they take care of their beards.

The official 2013 Taste of Country Music Festival poster was a hot item during the first-ever event. With Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson and more performing, the keepsake would have been a much-coveted prize even if there were more than 300 posters printed, but there weren't.

The inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival kicks off this week. For those in attendance, that means live performances from Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson and many more. If you can't make it -- Hunter Mountain can only hold so many country fans, after all -- you can still watch the fun live, online via a stream from the venue.

Women continue to rule the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown. For a third straight week, a video for a song sung by a female topped the weekly countdown. It was Carrie Underwood's 'Two Black Cadillacs' last week, and prior to that, 'American Beautiful' by the Henningsens. Can new clips by Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton or Eric Church best the country superstar? It's up to fans to decide the wee
