The ACM Awards, a new inductee for the Grand Old Opry and the passing of a music legend were all popular reasons for country music’s biggest names to take to Twitter in April.

The 2012 Oscars managed to include the expected and shocks all at the same time.

Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean to Perform at 2012 Grammys
At last year’s Grammy Awards, it seemed like every other “and the Grammy goes to …” was followed by the name of a country artist. With Miranda Lambert‘s ‘The House That Built Me’ doing well and Lady Antebellum‘s ‘Need You Now’ taking the cake in two major categories, it was a star-studded night for country fans everywhere. As the Staples Center prepares to roll out that red carpet once again, the
Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire to Host the 2012 ACM Awards
Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire will be back to host the 2012 ACM Awards. After a praiseworthy performance during the 2011 awards show — and Shelton’s skyrocketing public profile — inviting the two to run the show again was likely a no-brainer for producers.
