WEDDING BELLS SOON TO RING FOR TAYLOR?

 

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are still walking on air as a couple -- and it sounds like they're getting set to walk down the aisle.

The cutest couple in showbiz just flooded social media with PDA-packed pics of their island vacation, which has really warmed up the wedding chatter. A friend of the pair tells Britain's Heat magazine, “Taylor and Calvin had the perfect holiday.

They didn’t argue once and it really cemented how in love they are. It’s the most healthy and mature relationship Taylor has ever been in. They’ve regularly talked about marriage and have even discussed having children... One of Calvin's team has been talking about where to purchase bespoke rings which has prompted people to feel that an engagement is close."

THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES CLASS OF 2016


The 2016 Country Music Hall of Fame has announced its next class of inductees -- and they're three North Carolina natives: Charlie Daniels (Veterans), Randy Travis (Modern) and Fred Foster (Non-Performer).

The legendary Brenda Lee hosted the announcement this morning at the Hall of Fame in Nashville. When Fred took the podium to make his acknowledgments, he let the cat out of the bag and revealed his fellow inductees. Charlie thanked everyone who helped him throughout his career. Randy said, “Thank you,” before giving the floor to his wife Mary Davis, who delivered an emotional speech honoring her husband’s work.
The 2016 inductees will be celebrated at the invitation-only Medallion Ceremony later this year.

MERLE HAGGARD: FAMILY URGES HIM TO STOP TOURING

 

In a new interview with Garden and GunMerle Haggard reveals that his family wants him to stop touring. The 78-year-old has had health problems recently.

He says, “I can’t. It’s a double-edged sword. It’s what keeps me alive, and it’s what [screws] up my life. It’s hard to have a family, so I try and split it up. I try to build a life here of a reasonable sort, and then go and jump on the bus.”

Merle postponed shows in March to recover from double pneumonia. His next show is April 7th in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with Willie Nelson.

Hag's 1968 hit "Mama Tried" was added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry last week.
