Country Music News Today: Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw & Kevin Costner
Lots of exciting news in country music today, especially because it seems as if everywhere you look these days in entertainment you see country music in the mainstream.
Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Kevin Costner are making country music news today.
Taylor Swift is on the cover of the Dec./Jan. CosmoGirl, and the magazine rightly likens her to a phenomenon.
Says the popular teen/young women publication: "Whether she is climbing up the country music charts or teaming up with politicians to fight for causes important to her, Taylor Swift is what we like to call a phenomenon."
Adding: "Taylor knew she wanted to be singer since the age of 10, but it wasn’t until two years later when she learned to play the guitar and wrote her first song (yes, she was only 12!) that she tapped into what would really allow her to connect with an audience and soon make her a star. Her music is relatable because she puts her life, her relationships, and her struggles on paper and shares it with the world — and at only 18 she has so many more experiences ahead and so many more songs to write."
Check out the Dec./Jan. issue of CosmoGirl to read about Taylor and learn the little secret she says Faith Hill taught her.
Live from New York! Tim McGraw hosted Saturday Night Live last weekend. Click here to see a video.
Versatile actor and director Kevin Costner was in Nashville with his band Modern West. Click here for an interview with Kevin Costner on Opry Live before he plays the Opry.

When people are starting the day, it just sets the tone for your entire day and if we're going to kick-off a record, you wanna pull all that energy from New York City and put it right back into your music. If we can get that into people's homes, it'll be perfect."
Kenny will end the day in New York on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
GARTH BROOKS

DOLLY FANTASY
What's on DOLLY'S mind when it comes to romance? Dolly jokes with London reporters about her fantasies.
GUITAR AUCTION
New York, NY (Billboard Publicity Wire) March 30, 2007 -- Christie's announced that guitars from the collection of the late MERLE TRAVIS will be auctioned in the Fine Musical Instruments sale on April 2 in New York. Influential to many musicians, Travis was recognized for his unique finger-picking guitar style, called "Travis Picking." Because of his prolific writing and performing he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame as well as the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Both the Gibson electric arch-top guitar, Style Super 400 (estimate: $15,000-20,000) and the C.F. Martin D-28 (estimate: $100,000-150,000) represent a unique partnership between the artist, Merle Travis and artisan Paul A Bigsby, which culminated in some of the most important design innovations in American guitar making in the years following World War II.
From 1944 to 1982, Travis appeared in 16 films and made countless recordings as both a solo musician and a session player. His unique style of finger-picking guitar would come to be known as Travis Picking and influence the likes of Hank Thompson, Scotty Moore, Doc Watson and the great Chet Atkins, all of whom acknowledged his contribution.
