Six days a week, Gary and Bristol get up before the sun shines to bring you the latest from Nashville, New York City and Hollywood with Entertainment this Morning!

Football is religion in the south and especially LSU football! And it turns out that we aren’t afraid of digging in our wallet to support football. Fox Sports says that we’ve paid more than $7 billion dollars in the last ten years to cover new NFL stadiums and fund renovations. On top of that, five teams have gotten more than $400 million alone in public funding for stadiums. We’re no stranger to this in Louisiana as the New Orleans Saints stand to make $400 million in state subsidies through 2025.

I just love Cam, the artist behind Burning House, and this Sunday’s ACMs will most likely be pretty nerve-wracking for her! She’s up for four awards and she’s thinking of wearing sneakers under her fancy duds so she won’t trip on her way up to the stage and with those four nominations, there’s a pretty good chance that could happen! I’ve tripped and have actually fallen several times on stage. It’s not fun in front of a bunch of people and I can’t imagine doing it on a nationally televised broadcast!

PS! Our own Sam Alex from Taste of Country Nights will be live backstage from the ACM Awards in Vegas this Friday night and will live tweet from the ACM’s Red Carpet Sunday @ToCNights

I’ll most likely be live tweeting the show from the comfort of my home in Haughton this Sunday as well so make sure you follow us on Twitter!
