Just when you thought Tim McGraw couldn’t get any better – you gotta hear what he does to shower his wife, Faith Hill, with love. He says he tries to make every single day Valentine's Day. Sometimes the gifts are small - sometimes big. One thing he likes to do is find really pretty vases for Faith. She has a rose garden that she loves - so he tries to find unique vases to use when she cuts roses from her garden. Sigh...looooooooooove.

Did you know that Hunter Hayes’ latest song “Somebody’s Heartbreak” has a Valentine’s Day connection? He said he liked this girl, but knew she would end up breaking his heart. He wrote it around Valentine's Day. That's why he uses "Be Mine" at the end of the song. Hunter follows Eric Church in ACM nominations with six. The nominees for the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards were announced yesterday. See the full list of nominees below...
