Recently we announced that Taylor Swift has collaborated on a song with rapper T-Pain which will be released shortly. The two took a photo to promote the 2009 CMT Music Awards, which they were rehearsing for yesterday afternoon in Nashville, Tennessee.
The CMT Music Awards will be airing on television on Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Do you think the two artists will perform their collaboration song during the Awards show? We sure hope so!
Demi Lovato said in a recent interview that she had a blast working with her music idol John Mayer. She said, “John Mayer’s been a huge influence on me. His songwriting really inspires me. You hear music that has the same chord progression, but what he does, he changes it up. There’s little things that make him stand out.”
As much as Demi loves John, she isn’t the one who set up the meeting for them to get together and work together. It turns out that John is the one that got in contact with Demi, by sending her a letter, asking her to work with him.
She continued to say, “He’s a really, really funny guy, and he talks a lot, so he’ll go off on something. … I had a great time. He taught me a lot about the business and gave me a lot of advice.”
Demi got to write some new songs with John: “He’d start writing lyrics and make it my own. It was really nice. One of the songs, he had written a lot on it, and we definitely wanted it to be a co-writing thing. So he was like, ‘Take it home and finish it,’ and I did, and he barely touched it. It was awesome. He really wanted it to be equal.”
If you could meet any musician and work together with them who would you want it to be?

As of this month Country Music artists will be taking a new statistic into account when they try to figure out which artist has the most popularity – Twitter! Not only will the music industry be looking at how many sales an artist makes of their albums and concert tickets, looking at where they fall on singles charts and how many awards they win, they will now take the number of Twitter followers of each artist into account. Which easily puts Miss Miley Cyrus in the lead and Taylor Swift not far behind her.
The only problem we see is that many artists do not want to be on Twitter, so do they get a big zero on their score card for that or do the raters take that into account when measuring popularity of the stars?
Here are the top 10 country artists according to Twitter:
- Miley Cyrus with 789,759 followers
- Taylor Swift with 570,106 followers
- Billy Ray Cyrus with 78,036 followers
- Keith Urban with 25,507 followers
- Kellie Pickler with 24,082 followers
- LeAnn Rimes with 23,420 followers
- Julianne Hough with 15,663 followers
- Rascal Flatts with 15,528 followers
- Martina McBride with 15,502 followers
- Willie Nelson with 13,759 followers
Although, you would have no idea that Miss Miley was number one in popularity if you looked at how few people showed up to her casting call for her movie “The Last Song,” yikes!
We just heard this song by David Archuleta for the first time and thought it was really good and wanted to share it with all of you! The song is called “Zero Gravity.”
Is anyone planning on going to see David in concert this summer? He is opening for Disney star Demi Lovato. We really hope he plays this song and the one he sang with Miley Cyrus on the Disney Channel Original Series “Hannah Montana.”
What is your favorite David Archuleta song? And what is your favorite thing about David. Hard questions, we know!
