Ray Bradbury once said, “You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.” No one knows this sentiment more than the beautiful and talented actress-turned-country-singer, Jana Kramer. For the brunette starlet, her music career has been one very successful leap of faith. Growing up in...

Yesterday was the country's most loved sports game of the year, the Super Bowl. This year it was the Denver Broncos vs. the Seattle Seahawks, two teams we haven't seen in the spotlight for a few years.
