Jana Kramer

Each year, Music City extends a call to amateur hopefuls, conducting a worldwide search for the best original song. This year, actress-turned country singer Jana Kramer plays a big role in the Music City Songwriting Competition.

Jana Kramer has been through a lot this year, and the actress-turned-singer may be ready to expose it all ... on her upcoming album, of course. Kramer has been using her social media accounts to begin teasing the highly-anticipated second album.

Prices for the country music getaway of a lifetime have been slashed. Effective immediately, fans of Dierks Bentley, Jana Kramer, Billy Currington and Brantley Gilbert (plus sunshine, the beach and relaxation) can take in this Mexican vacay for under $1,000 per person -- a 33 percent discount!

Jana Kramer was twice spotted holding hands with a Hollywood hunk in California over the weekend. Actor Scott Eastwood was allegedly seen with the 'Why Ya Wanna' singer at her Oct. 26 and Oct. 27 tour stops in San Diego and Anaheim.
