I love going back in country music history and seeing what our favorite country stars were up to. Thanks to CMT.com, I learned that on this day (January 29th) in country music history in 1996, Garth Brooks refused to accept his American Music Award for Favorite Artist of the Year!
Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes has been nominated for Favorite Male Country Artist at the American Music Awards, which will be held Nov 24th live on ABC. Geaux Hunter!
Lady Antebellum won their third-ever American Music Award on Sunday (Nov. 18) during the live broadcast of the awards show. They took home the statue for Favorite Country Duo or Group.
