The American Music Awards are doing some damage control after performances from Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani that fans were under the impression would be live, appeared to be “taped live.” Blake responded by saying, “Just now seeing these stories about Gwen and I pre-taping our performances for the AMA’s.

Dolly Parton just revealed the one thing she has to eat every day – POTATOES. Dolly says, “I have to have something with potatoes, I mean, I’m just one of those people that I have to either have a baked potato, some mashed potatoes, or some French fries, or something to do with potatoes.”

Megan Moroney says her new album is about 80% done, and you, the fans, can expect it to be more carefree and happy.
