ABC/Richard HarbaughAfter dropping not-so-subtle hints about an upcoming event, Taylor Swift has now ended the mystery for her fans. 

As she revealed in a Twitter posting, the singer will be doing a worldwide live stream event August 18 on Yahoo!  It’ll take place at 5 p.m. ET, and fans based in New York City can enter for a chance to attend the event in person.

As for what Taylor is going to be discussing during this event, her website describes it as “exciting news.”  It’s most likely details about her brand-new album, or perhaps the first single from that album.

Visit TaylorSwift.com for all the info, including how to host your own live stream party.

Meanwhile, there’s speculation online that Taylor’s new single is called “Polaroid.”  This is chiefly because a Polaroid camera is visible in one of the “clue” images Taylor posted, and also because, as Stereogum reports, Taylor apparently invited some top radio programmers to her apartment, and they all tweeted and Instagrammed Polaroid photos of themselves hanging with her.  Stay tuned.

Image Courtesy Broken Bow RecordsJason Aldean is asking everyone to move on and accept his relationship with his girlfriend, Brittany Kerr, whom he was photographed getting cozy with while he was still married in 2012. Now that Jason is divorced, some fans on Instagram just aren’t letting him live down the way he and Brittany first got together.

On Saturday, Jason posted a photo of himself with Brittany and the new puppy he got her.

A few fans left nasty comments on the photo, which prompted Jason to post a second picture with the words, “You know my name, not my story. You’ve heard what I’ve done, not what I’ve been through.”

He went on to explain in the caption, “So sick of people judging me and @brittanylkerr over things they know nothing about. I have made mistakes but i am a better person because of it, and wouldn’t change a thing. I’m happier than i have ever been, so thank u to all the people who support us. We are happy and life goes on. It’s time to move on people.”

Jason and Brittany made their first public appearance together at the CMT Music Awards in June. According to Brittany’s Instagram account, the couple is headed to the Caribbean this week for some “much-needed” downtime.

Image Courtesy CMABrad Paisley‘s latest single, “River Bank,” was partly inspired by the time he spent on the water in his early days in Nashville. Brad didn’t have much money back then, but he had a friend with a bass boat.

Says Brad, “It was about a 16-footer. It was enough for two guys to go out on the lake. And we would meet up every day that was nice and save up, buy any kind of tackle we could afford, and just head up to the…either the Cumberland River or Percy Priest [lake].”

Brad didn’t have any family or a girlfriend during that time in his life, but he found comfort in spending time on the water.

“It was the release for me,” Brad explains. “I would work all the time, write songs all the time, and then I’d go to the river.”

“River Bank” is the lead single from Brad’s new album, Moonshine in the Trunk, coming out August 25.

Image Courtesy ABCLuke Bryan‘s Friday performance on ABC’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series brought more fans into Central Park than any other act on the show this summer. It’s just the latest nod of approval from the Big Apple for Luke, who is playing three arena shows in the city this year between Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

ABC News Radio spoke with Luke backstage at GMA Friday about his love affair with New York City. He says, “Growing up a small-town kid from South Georgia, and to be able to come up here and connect with New Yorkers and everybody up here in this part of the U.S., it’s really, really amazing.”

Luke actually watched the fans lining up to get in to Central Park to see his show.

He adds, “You never get tired of it. It always kind of puts a little warmth in your heart, and you just feel good when you know you’ve got a lot of fans that love you.”

While Luke had a big morning performing for his fans, his thoughts were with his son Bo, who started his first day of kindergarten back home in Nashville on Friday. Luke says Bo is much more prepared for school than he was back in Georgia.

“He’s gone to pre-K stuff and stuff to kinda get going,” Luke explains. “I mean, my mother woke me up one day and says, ‘Alright, you’re going to school today.’ That didn’t go well with me.”

Luke continues his That’s My Kind of Night tour next Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
