But while Charles Kelley admits the award puts pressure on them, it also supplies inspiration. He says, "This is our moment to take this thing and really make a great record." The group is currently in the studio working on its third album.

DOLLY PARTON: Lifetime Achiever
|
 |
|
Dolly Parton couldn't make it to L.A. to accept her Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Special Merit Awards ceremony on Saturday due to a family commitment she'd made before it was announced that she was to be honored. The seven-time Grammy-winner did send a video message that was played at the event, thanking the Recording Academy and saying that she's "working on some new stuff" and hopes she can "win at least seven more Grammys."

MIRANDA LAMBERT: Blake Goes With the Flow
|
 |
|
One of the sweetest moments of the Grammy Awards was Blake Shelton's heartfelt introduction of Miranda Lambert before she performed "The House That Built Me." Blake said, ""When I say I love this next performer, what I mean is I love this next performer. She's not only one of the most talented people in the world, she happens to be my fiancee." Backstage, Miranda told us that Blake improvised his speech. "Blake doesn't listen to prompters or me or anybody else. He goes with the flow."
Blame excitement for the fact that, in her acceptance speech for winning Best Country Female Performance, Miranda handed out thank-yous to everyone but...Blake.
