The Friday Five: ACM Award Nominees

The 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards air this Sunday, April 19th, on CBS! We’re especially excited about this year’s group of Best New Artist nominees, along with some more familiar faces. Don’t forget you can vote for Best New Artist and Entertainer of the Year at VoteACM.com up until the start of the show! Here are our favorite tracks from some of this year’s ACM Award Nominees.

1. Thomas Rhett – “Front Porch Junkies”
Nominated for Best New Artist
We fell for Thomas’ funky country style, and after seeing him live he is one of our favorite performers, ever. We love all the Best New Artist nominees (really, you can’t go wrong), but we can’t help but root for the Home Team.

2. Dan + Shay – “What You Do To Me”
Nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year
This is one of our favorite songs of all time, of any genre, and quickly made its way to the top of our most played tracks. We can’t wait to see Dan + Shay + Nick (Jonas) perform at this year’s show!

3. Cole Swindell – “Let Me See Ya Girl”
Nominated for Best New Artist
Cole has written hit after hit for artists like Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georiga Line, and more. His debut album has had 3 #1 singles and counting. It’s one of those albums where every song is your jam.

4. Sam Hunt – “Breakup In A Small Town”
Nominated for Best New Artist
We. Are. Obsessed. With. This. Song. The perfect representation of Sam’s R&B / country mashup. Sam has been dominating the charts lately since “Montevallo” was released late last year, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled off a win.

5. Kacey Musgraves – “Biscuits”
Nominated for Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year
Kacy’s throwback music and sartorial style (she and her band are always on point) is a refreshing change. We can’t wait for Kacey’s upcoming album!

2014 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Performers Announced

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays – we dream about eating so much deliciousness that we pass out at the table, a la Seth Cohen.  And one of our favorite traditions is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, which always features some of our favorite artists!  Past lineups have included Big Time Rush, Cody Simpson, Jonas Brothers, Austin Mahone … it’s a right of passage for young artists.

The first round of performers were just announced, and lots of Secret Fangirls favorites are on the list!  Make sure to tune into NBC at 9AM Thanksgiving morning to watch!  Or, if you’re in NYC, you can lineup to watch the parade, which runs from the Upper West Side to Macy’s in Herald Square.   Visit the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade website for more info on the route and a full list of performers!  If you’re going, we suggest getting there early for a good spot (and dressing as warmly as possible!)
