Thompson Square's Shawna Thompson says when she needs a break from husband Keifer, she flashes something she calls the "stank eye."

It's no secret that country star Miranda Lambert is a spitfire, but she also has a sensitive side. In a new interview, the 'Fastest Girl in Town' singer admitted who wears the pants in her family, and even dished on Pistol Annies, her upcoming tour with Dierks Bentley and more -- including her 2012 CMAs Song of the Year nomination for 'Over You' and the emotional video that goes along with it.
Hunter Hayes in nominated in the New Artist of the Year category at the 2012 CMA Awards -- a huge deal for a kid who's only 21. He'll even get a chance to perform, which he admitted he is a terrifying prospect. Taking the stage in front of country legends, the men and women he's idolized for years... "There's a lot of fear," Hayes tells Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson.
Add Dustin Lynch to the list of country stars finding their way into the Taste of Country Nights studio. The 'Cowboys and Angels' singer stopped by recently to play his hit song 'Cowboys and Angels' for listeners nationwide. The tender acoustic version of the song makes one of the more well-loved singles of the year a little more memorable.
Jason Aldean says the hardest part of being one of the hottest artists in country music is adjusting to the glare of the spotlight. He tweets, but lately it's just been to talk about his new album, 'Night Train,' or to cheer on his Atlanta Braves. He'll mention his daughters or his wife, but you won't find pictures of them on Instagram. You may see the 'Take a Little Ride' singer on television, but only if he's behind a guitar on a talk show, or at the podium accepting an ACM or CMA Award. When it comes to being famous, Aldean tells Taste of Country Nights radio host Jeremy Robinson: He's not a natural.
Perhaps now we know why country stars like Eric Church always wear sunglasses. Justin Moore tells Taste of Country Nights radio host Jeremy Robinson that a recent radio station visit left him with an eye patch and temporary blindness in one eye.

Fans of Eli Young Band pulled off one of the greatest Showdown upsets of all time on Tuesday. The group’s new single ‘Say Goodnight’ topped Taylor Swift‘s brand new single from her upcoming ‘Red’ album, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’ That makes it three in a row for the Texas foursome’s love ballad. Two more and it will be retired to the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame.
Last night, the Eli Young Band and newcomer Chelsea Bain traded blows until the final minutes of the Showdown on Taste of Country Nights radio. Each artist rallied their fans to support their new song, but in the end, the new ballad from the Texas foursome notched just a few more votes than Bain’s ‘What if I.’
Eli Young Band may not be far removed from their search for country stardom, but their fans took no pity on newcomer Jon Pardi. The Texas group’s new song ‘Say Goodnight’ topped ‘Missin” You Crazy’ to earn another spin on Taste of Country Nights radio and more votes from fans on Taste of Country.
Luke Bryan is out. The ‘Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye’ singer toppled all five competitors put in front of him, thanks to votes from fans online and via Taste of Country Nights radio.

That means that this Friday battle will start with two fresh faces in Eli Young Band and Jon Pardi, both armed with new singles about achy minutes with, or without, that special someone.
