For Seven-time GRAMMY winning trio Lady
Antebellum, their upcoming fourth Capitol Records Nashville release GOLDEN out May 7 was figuratively – and literally – borne on the move. The harmony-based trio and its
sizeable fan base bonded heavily during the band’s headlining Own The
Night World Tour– an over-sized road trip, if there ever was one. The
shows themselves were inspirational. But so was the time offstage. Lady A
made a point of experimenting and creating with its road band as the
one-nighters and the miles of travel piled up. That behind-the-scenes
interaction inspired much of the music on GOLDEN, an instantly
infectious project in which Lady A discovered new edges for its
already-successful foundation. Keep reading to find out what Hilary, Dave and Charles had to say about the new record and watch their latest music video for their single "Downtown"!

Hunter Hayes' celebrity status recently hit new heights when he became the subject of dating rumors on the Internet linking him to former Bieber beau Selena Gomez. Both stars have previously denied the claims, and in an interview with CMT Radio Live's Cody Alan that aired Monday, March 25, Hayes reacted to his newfound role as rumor mill fodder. "It is strange. That's the one part that nobody kinda can tell you about or prepare you for," he told Alan. "I kinda felt bad for Selena 'cause we did meet and she was awesome, but we literally just shook hands and said hello." Though the Gomez rumors turned out to be false, Hunter may have his eye on another famous female, but has decided to keep tight-lipped about his celebrity crush for now. When pressed for a name, Hunter explained, "My celebrity crush is not gonna find out who my celebrity crush is anytime soon. I'm so nervous! I may keep that to myself because if I do meet her and she already knows about it, that could be awkward." Let us know who you think Hunter's celebrity crush may be by leaving a comment below!
