Lady A is ready to give fans new music…
More performers for the ACMs…
It took awhile for Lady A to find Heart Break, if you will. The group’s first new album in three new years came after a few starts and stops and a trip out west. The trio learned they needed to get out of Nashville to succeed.
Dave Haywood suggested moving out for a little while, so they did. They first spent a week writing in Florida and then headed to California. Hillary Scott added that this time they are all more confident in their own skin and so excited to get this music out to the fans.
Heart Break, Lady A’s sixth studio album, drops on June 9.
More performers have been added to the line-up for the 52nd ACM Awards on April 2nd.
Sam Hunt, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, Cole Swindell, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban will all take the stage. They'll join previously announced performers - pretty much everyone else.
More performers and presenters will be announced soon. Get ready- the ACM Awards, hosted by Luke and Dierks, will air live from Las Vegas on CBS.

William Michael Morgan and Runaway June's Jennifer Wayne are planning their wedding, sort of.

Like Sam Hunt, William Michael is wearing a wedding band already. He says, "We're setting a trend."
Chris Lucas of LoCash and his wife Kaitlyn are expecting a third child, a girl, in September.
Chris found out the gender of the baby on live TV -- before a performance on the Today show. Kaitlyn dialed in via Skype from Nashville.
They already have two kids -- a son, Caden, and a daughter, Remi.
And a huge congrats to Michael Ray for scoring this week’s #1 song on the Mediabase Country Singles Chart with “Think A Little Less.” The song, written by Thomas Rhett, is Michael’s second #1 single following “Kiss You in the Morning.”
