Taylor Swift stole the show at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, winning eight awards and delivering one of the more creative and eye-catching performances of the night. The singer sang '22' surrounded by a rotating cast of dozens of backup dancers before accepting honors for Top Artist, Top Album and more.

Swift was nominated for 11 awards in all, but lost to Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and Psy in the Top 100 Artist, Top Social Artist and Top Streaming Song categories, respectively. While Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood were also nominated for awards, only Swift brought a trophy back to Nashville. She swept the country categories, including Top Country Artist, Top Country Album ('Red') and Top Country Song ('We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together').

Sunday night's stop on the Two Lanes of Freedom Tour was moving forward as usual when Tim McGraw spotted a fan in the first few rows who was struggling. Paula Whitten says she sat down after feeling faint, but collapsed when she stood back up.

That's when McGraw snapped into action. According to Whitten, he hopped off stage and handed her water. "He actually gave me a hot water at first," she told KICKS 101.5 in Atlanta. The singer then found some cold water and stayed with her. "He was talking to me and talking to the medics to try to get me up," she says.

Randy Travis is seeking $100,000 and a judgement that all information pertaining to his arrest on August 7, 2012 not be released to the public from Public Information Act requests. That information includes the arrest transcript and the police video shot while the naked singer was taken into custody.

In January, Travis pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and received two years probation, a $2,000 fine and a 180-day suspended jail sentence. The judge agreed that the dash camera arrest video and transcript should not be released to the public.

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland has announced that she's recording a new solo album, and hopes to have it out this fall. The singer shares she's working with famed producer Rick Rubin on the project -- her first since giving birth to her son Magnus last December.

Nettles took to Twitter to make the announcement, linking to a profile of the album in Rolling Stone. She says the project will be more intimate and emotional than anything she's done with partner Kristian Bush in Sugarland. Some of the songs she wrote on her own, while others she worked on with songwriters like Sara Bareilles and Butch Walker.

Tim McGraw and a dozen or so other artists from country, rock and hip-hop came together in Las Vegas one night after the 2013 ACM Awards to film the 'ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Summer Night' television special. The footage will finally air this Sunday (May 19) on CBS, with performances from Taylor Swift, Ne-Yo and John Fogerty said to be the highlights.

Swift and Keith Urban join McGraw to deliver his current single, 'Highway Don't Care,' which features the pop-country starlet on supporting vocals and Urban on guitar. Ne-Yo is one of many artists to perform his own music with McGraw -- the two sing a ballad called 'She Is.' Rapper Pitbull joins the country superstar to sing 'Felt Good on My Lips.'

The country singer from Texas was the first to smile and hug 23-year-old Glover as she broke into tears. "This is not he end of the road," Harrison said afterward, speaking about her career.

"I'm so proud of her and I am proud of myself for getting this far and I couldn't believe I was standing there with her at the finale," Harrison told Hollywood Life.

Glover struggled with her words during her emotional celebration with friends, fellow Season 12 contestants and family. "Three years," she said, sobbing and referring to her three separate tryouts for the reality television show.

It's been three weeks, but Nashville is still grieving the loss of George Jones. Taylor Swift recently opened up about what she'll remember about the country legend. While the two stars seem worlds apart sonically, they share a common bond.

"George Jones never stopped wanting to be onstage," Swift tells Billboard. "He played live shows until the day he died, and that passion for performing is something I look up to."

The Possum died on April 26 after a week-long hospitalization. He was remembered during an emotional ceremony at the Grand Ole Opry on May 2. Country stars like Vince Gill, Brad Paisley and Alan Jackson took the stage to tell stories of the 81-year-old and to play his music.
