TWANG TOWN LOWDOWN - WEDNESDAY JUNE 1ST



CARRIE UNDERWOOD: FAN SINGS TOO HARD



The Most Dedicated Carrie Underwood Fan award goes to a guy named Bern, who attended her concert in Ottawa, Ontario last weekend.

Bern tweeted a picture of himself in the hospital with an oxygen mask and the caption, "Carrie Underwood slayed me so hard in Ottawa. I sang along to every word and my lung flopped."

A concerned Carrie tweeted back, "What the what?! I hope you're alright! It was great to get to see you! Thanks for risking your life to be there!"


BRETT, BLAKE, JAKE: CMT AWARDS SOCIAL SUPERSTARS



Brett Eldredge, Blake Shelton, Jake Owen, Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell and Thomas Rhett are the inaugural nominees for the Social Superstar award at the upcoming CMT Music Awards.

The new category recognizes artists who are pioneering social media as a tool to regularly interact with fans through a multitude of platforms and apps. Fans can vote via Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #CMTawards and a tag with the word "vote" and the artist's name.

So now Blake and Thomas are now neck-and-neck with Carrie Underwood, Cam and Chris Stapleton for the most nominations -- three each.

The winner will be announced during the CMT Music Awards on June 8th. Erin Andrews and football player J.J.Watt will co-host.


BRETT, THOMAS: TO HOST CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL SPECIAL



Brett Eldredge and Thomas Rhett have been tapped as hosts of the CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock. The announcement was made this morning on ABC's Good Morning America.

Brett says, “I’ve played my heart out on every size stage at CMA Fest, from the crowds of 20 to the big stadium, because I love the energy of the festival and the country music fans so much."

Thomas adds, "Some of my favorite memories are me and my buddies sitting in the nosebleeds watching our heroes play. It's surreal and a huge honor to be hosting and performing on this stage."

The show, which is a recap of the festival, airs August 3rd on ABC.
