Lindsay Ell

Lindsay Ell will perform her #1 song “Criminal” on the CMT Awards tonight!

Tomorrow I will be performing on the @cmt awards for the first time ever. It’s kinda crazy when you work so hard for the things you want in life, and sometimes pick your head up in the midst of everything to actually see what is happening. Thank you @cmt for believing in me and #Criminal. Watching this song continue to grow has been incredible and tomorrow night is going to be special. 🙏🏼 #CMTAwards 📸: @taylorgkelly

Dallas Smith & Terri Clark

The country stars performed their hit “One Drink Ago” at the Grand Ole Opry last night!

Another great moment captured last night at the @opry with @dallassmithmusic @cmafest

Today the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) announced 19-time CCMA Award and three-time JUNO Award Winner Terri Clark as the 2018 artist inductee to the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
Aaron Pritchett

Last year at the CMAOntario awards, Aaron Pritchett’s mic completely cut out and he had to have the audience finish the song. This past weekend, Aaron was invited back as a presenter. When he went out to present the CMAOntario award, he pretended to talk, simply mouthing “is this thing on?” and tapping the mic, making light of the unfortunate, and hilarious, moment from 2017.

 

Hunter Brothers

Hunter Brothers are recreating pictures from their past and it’s likely the best thing you’ll see on the internet this week.

Those Were The Nights when child safety gates were made out of wood and JJ was in desperate need of a haircut. #twtn

Tim Hicks

Tim Hicks performed “Throw A Ball” from his upcoming album “New Tattoo” at the CMAOntario Awards this past weekend. The song is about a dad throwing a ball with his son, our hearts are still melting.

We might be a little biased, but this was our favourite performance last night at the @theCMAOntario Awards. ❤👌 @timhicksmusic performed a song called #ThrowABall from his new album! ❤ #NEWTATTOO #CMAOntario #CMAO2018 pic.twitter.com/BcGOblLMYG
