~~Dierks Bentley invited a Walmart checker and aspiring country singer Kayla Slone to the ACMs in Las Vegas in April.

Slone has made a name for herself on Youtube.  She made her first trip to NYC to appear on Anderson Cooper's show when she got the personal call from Bentley, who invited her to one of the biggest events on the country music calendar.

~~Taylor Swift is being sued.

She was set to headline the Canadian Hoedown in Ottawa last August but officials canceled the show and claim Taylor kept her advance payment of $2.5 million dollars.

Organizers of the Capitol Hoedown announced that zoning problems and rising costs had forced the cancellation of the event.

According to a new lawsuit, Taylor was given her payment up front and the ticket company, which had to refund $1.8 million in tickets, believe she is responsible for paying the money since she never actually did anything.

Taylor's rep told TMZ the singer NEVER made a deal with the ticket company — and has not yet seen the lawsuit.
