Working with a wide range of partners from Bruno Mars and Babyface to Reebok and Citibank, Alicia Keys prepares to launch her most personal album ever, "Girl on Fire."

The "Voice" coach is now the "Entertainer" after winning top prize -- and two others -- at the CMA Awards. Shelton's wife, Miranda Lambert, won two trophies as well and Little Big Town was right there with her with a pair of huge wins.

Katy Perry, Jason Aldean, Miley Cyrus and more talk about the political issues they care about the more this election season.

Taylor looked ravishing in red, Carrie was gorgeous in gold and Kellie Pickler stopped the show in baby blue. See all the colorful highlights from the 2012 CMAs red carpet.

Demi and Simon goofed off on the "X Factor" set, Rihanna was named queen, Nicki Minaj put on a pink pout, Usher played with puppies, Katy Perry hung out with Michelle Obama, and more. See the week's best pics!

With the album's smashing start (1.2 million), Taylor Swift's "Red" immediately becomes the third-biggest selling effort of the year. Only Adele's "21" (4.1) and One Direction's "Up All Night" (1.3) have sold more in 2012. Click for more amazing "Red" stats!
