Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Darius Rucker are among the artists who have decorated Christmas trees on display as part of Gaylord Opryland Resort’s 38th annual A Country Christmas event. Each star has also donated “Once in a Lifetime” VIP experiences (fly-aways, VIP concert experiences, exclusive merchandise and more) all to benefit First Responders Children’s Foundation. Proceeds raised will provide scholarships and mental health services to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. The Parade of Trees is on display in the resort’s Garden Conservatory now until January 2nd.

Niko Moon was named songwriting organization SESAC's Songwriter of the Year for the first time during the recent 2021 Nashville Music Awards, which took place in a digital format. In addition to his own chart-topper, "Good Time," he wrote Dierks Bentley's Number One hit “Gone.” Lee Brice’s seventh Number One hit, “One Of Them Girls,” was named SESAC Song of the Year. 

Mickey Guyton and Walker Hayes are the latest additions to the list of performers at Sunday's (November 21st) American Music Awards. They join previously announced performers Kane Brown and Jason Aldean with Carrie Underwood. The AMAs air on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
