Hayden Panettiere

From Emmy nominations to Oliver Hudson, ABC's hit television show 'Nashville' is gearing up for an exciting new season, and the Season 2 promo video confirms that the upcoming episodes will hold lots of twists, turns and drama.

Country stars have found a shining spot among the 2013 Golden Globe nominees, which were announced on Thursday morning (Dec. 13). Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and the two leading actresses on the ABC drama 'Nashville' are all included on the ballot for the Jan. 13 NBC broadcast.

Driving the tension during Wednesday night's episode of 'Nashville' (Nov. 14) was music from top country, rock and alt-rock singers. Songs from Loretta Lynn, Gary Clark Jr. and Lindi Ortega were worked into Episode 6, titled "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)."

There's good news for country music fans who've been following their favorite music on television, as two country music-themed fall shows have been tapped for additional episodes. ABC has ordered a full season of the hour-long drama 'Nashville,' and the network brass have called for three additional episodes of Reba McEntire's half-hour comedy 'Malibu Country.'

Is 'Nashville' actress Hayden Panettiere using her role as the up-and-coming country music sensation Juliette Barnes as "practice" for her very own country music career? It seems likely.
