She already has a handful of platinum albums to her name, but Miranda Lambert is celebrating another platinum career cornestone today. The ‘Fastest Girl in Town’ singer has passed the one million followers mark on her official Twitter account!
With Memorial Day last weekend, many country stars took to Twitter to make sure their fans know the reason we’re free to celebrate an extra day off before the start of summer. A few, like Kellie Pickler, went a little further. Learn who had the most touching messages to the troops in This Week’s Best Tweets.
Dierks Bentley kicks off the Top Tweets of May 2012 list with a post about his sister, who’s excited to go see Kenny Chensey. Maybe too excited to see Chesney and Tim McGraw when they begin their tour next month. Jake Owen‘s hot and sticky fun is a little more … sanctioned than Bentley’s sister’s, while Carrie Underwood finds herself apologizing for a strange shower she gave fans at a recent awards show.
As a holiday weekend approaches, it’s clear that a few country stars may have begun celebrating a little early. Joe Nichols has something to celebrate, while a few others — like Jerrod Niemann and Tyler Farr — may just be celebrating life. Of course Blake Shelton is included in this list of the week’s best tweets, but his submission is much more domestic than fans are used to — but still hilarious.

Miranda Lambert settled an old score at the Kentucky Derby last weekend. She makes the week’s best tweets list twice actually, also including her celebration of Team Blake Shelton‘s win on ‘The Voice’ on Tuesday night. Other stars like Brad Paisley and the Eli Young Band shared their thoughts on the passing of a music legend, and a few more talked about the insanity from the road with followers on Twitter.

The death of the Beastie Boys Adam Yauch — aka MCA — proves how universal good music truly is. The artist didn't directly contribute to country music, but still dozens of artists are saddened by his passing.
The ACM Awards, a new inductee for the Grand Old Opry and the passing of a music legend were all popular reasons for country music’s biggest names to take to Twitter in April. While social media can be a time-suck, it’s also a great opportunity to get first person reactions to big news and events. Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr. and Trace Adkins are among the top country Twitter artists, and all are featured in this month’s top tweets.
