Taylor Swift seduced the ENTIRE audience with her "Red" performance at the CMT Music Awards.

Taylor Swift?? Is that YOU?! We thought we knew what a good show was when we saw you sing "22" in a unicorn shirt, but OMG! Can we get a million rounds of applause for Taylor's "Red" performance at the 2013 CMT Music Awards?? Because that might've been the sexiest thing we've ever seen, and we should know -- we've seen every Ryan Gosling movie ever made. We're sexy professionals. Wait, that sounded wrong.

Hunter Hayes performs "I Want Crazy" at the 2013 CMT Awards.

Hunter Hayes performed "I Want Crazy" at the 2013 CMT Music Awards.

Y'all might not know it yet, but Hunter Hayes is totally the country music Justin Bieber. For one thing, he's about to embark on his "Let's Be Crazy Tour" tour with supporting act Ashley Monroe, he's got the Justin Bieber-brand muscles, he wears the tight tanks, he has the perfectly coiffed hair, and, well, he possesses THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THE LADIES EFFING WILD! Or, according to Hunter's performance of "I Want Crazy" at the 2013 CMT Music Awards, like, literally CRAZY EYES-insane. You know, the borderline wacko stare girls get when they see something they want! (Like Hunter, for example.)

Terraplane Sun channel the Stones in their new clip, "Get Me Golden"

Terraplane Sun channel the Stones in their new video, "Get Me Golden."

If you need inspiration for your band's next music video, then you could do a lot worse than channeling The Rolling Stones. That's rock and roll in its most original sense, and it's drawn from perfectly in Venice, Calif. rockers Terraplane Sun's "Get Me Golden" video, a clip that harkens back to the glory days of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Well, most of that, anyway.

Watch AWOLNATION's 'THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT' lyric video.

AWOLNATION's child protagonist is definitely NOT ALL RIGHT in this new lyric video.

It's been a second since we've heard from MTV PUSH alums AWOLNATION, but look! The bros are back! Fronted by Aaron Bruno (formerly of Under The Influence Of Giants and Home Town Hero), AWOLNATION has just released a brand-new lyric video, "THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT," which is slated to appear on the "Injustice: Gods Among Us" video game soundtrack. And yes, we know that must make you think: "Video game soundtrack? Nerd alert!" But don't worry -- "THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT," a heady mix of badass rock and blues (think: The Black Keys), is a track that even the least video game-inclined fan can enjoy.

Check out Disclosure's "When A Fire Starts To Burn" video.

U.K. brother duo Disclosure blow things up, literally, in their "When A Fire Starts To Burn" video.

"When a fire stars to burn, right? And it starts to spread..." goes the repetitive sample hook at the heart of the new track "When A Fire Starts To Burn," from U.K. electronic duo Disclosure. In terms of context, they're probably referencing the rapture (we think?), but that lyric might also be talking about brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, who have been on a tear of success over the last year. Examples? Well, not only did "Fire" hit No. 1 in the iTunes chart just a few hours after it was released in the U.K., but the boys have recently dropped a scorching new video for the track.

2 Chainz shows off, even when the government is spying on him, on "Feds Watching."

2 Chainz teams up with Pharrell on his new track, "Feds Watching."

There are a few things we know about 2 Chainz: He's man of many names (2 Chainz, Tity Boi, Hair Weave Killa -- yes, these are all real aliases), he's been featured on pretty much every song recorded since 2012, and despite being monitored by government agents on his new track "Feds Watching" featuring Pharrell Williams, he's always gonna be draped head-to-toe in Givenchy. Cameras are constantly snapping (government OR paparazzi), so why wouldn't he dress up?! I mean, they won't catch anything on film but a Gucci rag! So please, click away.

Miley Cyrus hangs out at Facebook HQ!

Here's Miley Cyrus enjoying a lollipop at Facebook HQ!

Needless to say, we can't stop listening to Miley Cyrus' new single, "We Can't Stop" (sorry, I've tried to resist saying that for days). And now, to further induce our Miley blackout, MTV News caught up with the singer en route to premiere "We Can't Stop" at Facebook HQ, where she candidly discussed the inspiration behind her Mike WiLL Made It-produced track (the first off her forthcoming album), her party girl tendencies, and her similarly raging work ethic.
