With superstardom comes tabloid interest -- especially in your love life, which Hunter Hayes is learning the hard way. The singer, who is only recently settling into superfame, has been the subject of some interesting dating rumors over the past few months, which came as a surprise to him.

The country music party of the year just got a little more star-studded with the announcement of additional ACM Awards performers. With some of the biggest names in country music have already been announced for this highly-anticipated event, Hunter Hayes, Dierks Bentley, and Brantley Gilbert are the icing on the cake.

Before Hunter Hayes started selling albums like crazy, he caught a big break when he was invited to tour with Taylor Swift. Since Ms. Swift has been known to date quite a few musical guys, Nashville Gab sat down with Hayes to find out if he and the country crossover star were ever linked romantically.

The only thing better than hanging out outside and watching your favorite country artists perform is doing so with a good conscience. The Academy of Country Music's Party for a Cause Festival in Las Vegas brings The Band Perry, Dierks Bentley and other ACM-nominated artists to a festival that will benefit a number of non-profit organizations.

Hunter Hayes kicked off 2013 with a performance at the Grammys and an eye-popping six ACM nominations. The 'Somebody's Heartbreak' singer also expects to have new music for fans this year, and he'll play the first-ever Taste of Country Music Festival this June. As for true romance? Well, he's still searching.

Is Hunter Hayes, one of country music's cutest, most talented and most eligible bachelors, about to come off the market? Could be, as it's being said that he and singer/actress Selena Gomez -- who recently ended her very public two-year romance with Justin Bieber -- were seen flirting and even exchanged digits.

While country phenomenon Hunter Hayes may only be 21 years old, he's making a huge splash on the country music scene. The three-time Grammy nominated musician has just garnered six Academy of Country Music Award nominations, becoming the second-most nominated artist this year, right behind Eric Church.

Dozens of Hunter Hayes fans created homemade Valentine's Day cards for the 'Somebody's Heartbreak' singer, competing to win a phone call from the heartthrob on February 14. One entry stood above the rest in effort both and creativity, and a lucky girl in Las Vegas is about to have a very, very good day.

Hunter Hayes didn't take home his first Grammy award in 2013, but the 21-year-old country newcomer still had a great night at the show. In addition to introducing Carrie Underwood's powerhouse performance, Hayes appeared during the commercial breaks in his new spot for Pepsi.

Carrie Underwood sang snippets of both 'Blown Away' and 'Two Black Cadillacs' at the 2013 Grammy Awards -- ultimately delivering one of the most impressive vocal performances of the night.

Country music's hottest stars walked the red carpet at the 2013 Grammy Awards, and while most shined, a few failed to impress on music's biggest night. Pictures of the worst dressed country stars from the 2013 Grammys don't quite compare to the worst dressed from the pop world -- did you see the moon man? -- but these three outfits were still less than flattering.

Three-time Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes performed his latest single 'Somebody's Heartbreak' on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' on Thursday (Feb. 7) looking as poised, polished and cute as ever.
