Taylor to the rescue!

Taylor Swift helped raise a TON of money for tornado victims over the weekend with her "Speak Now....Help Now" concert.  Taylor is getting ready for the U.S. leg of her "Speak Now World Tour" and she decided to sell tickets for her final dress rehearsal Saturday night in Nashville.  Taylor fans paid $50 per ticket and raised over $750,000 for the tornado victims!  Taylor will be performing in Atlanta in June, and in New Orleans in October.  As of right now, that's as close as she's going to get to the Pensacola area.  We'll let you know if that changes.

Blake Shelton's new CD is set for release on July 12th and Blake announced that the title for that project will be "Red River Blue".  Blake has also had a success run as a coach on the NBC show "The Voice" which has just been picked up for a second season!  It looks like The Voice will be bringing all the coaches back next season as well. 

Kid Rock will be hosting the 2011 CMT Music Awards again this year.  The fans pick the winners for this show, so if you haven't already voted, do it right now:  http://www.cmt.com/cmt-music-awards/video-of-the-year/  Look for performances by Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland and many more, June 8th on CMT

Look for a couple country stars on TV this week too.  Brad Paisley will be on Good Morning America, Letterman and Hannity on Tuesday, May 24th followed by an appearance on The View the next morning.  And Sara Evans will perform on ABC's Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday the 24th.

That's about it for this week.  Thanks for listening to Your Country 102.7 WXBM!  Keep on trying to win Butler Bucks every weekday at 7:35, 10:35, 1:35 and 3:35.  And from all of us at WXBM, thank you to our military men & women during military appreciation month, and all year long.  Thank you for serving our country.
