New Song: Hunter Hayes, 'I Want Crazy'

Posted 4/10/13 12:05 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music

Hunter Hayes embraces insanity in his new record, "I Want Crazy."

Hunter Hayes eschews sanity on his latest track, "I Want Crazy."

We didn't name Hunter Hayes a 2013 Artist To Watch for nothing, y'all! (Note our use of "y'all" to let you know that Hunter is an up-and-coming country star.) But seriously, at only 21 years old, this multi-instrumentalist has already cowritten songs for some major country acts (Rascal Flatts' "Play"), and let's not forget that he's already been on tour with a little known act named Taylor Swift. Hunter's also been nominated for a whopping three Grammys (call us if you still need a red carpet date, bb!). If for some reason all that's not enough to prove Hunter's taking over EVERYTHING, then take a quick listen to his brand-new jam, "I Want Crazy," the fourth single off his self-titled album.

Listen to Hunter Hayes' "I Want Crazy" after the jump.

Hunter Hayes Must Not Have Received Our Offer To Be His Grammys Date (PHOTO)

Posted 2/10/13 9:12 pm EST by in Celebrity, Must See, Photos

Hunter Hayes PROMISED to take us to the Grammys...but we're still waiting!

Um, over and out to Hunter Hayes! Are you there, bb? Because we still have NOT received a "yay" or "nay" to our (very generous) offer to be your date to the 2013 Grammys, and it's kinda getting down to the wire, you know? (Not to mention the fact that we dropped mad dough on a gel mani/pedi and a blow out, and we are wearing Spanx...) Fine, even if the MTV "Artist To Watch" isn't taking us as his plus one, we're still rooting for him to win all THREE of the Grammys he's up for, including Best New Artist, Best Country Solo Performance, and Best Country Album. Because one nomination at the age of 21 isn't enough, you know?

And it's not like we were even dying to go to the Grammys or anything (actually that's a gigantic lie), it's just that we've been told by a few prior Grammy winners that we're a good luck charm, and we really wanted to impose a little bit of that juju on Hunter so that he goes home with at least one golden statue! Actually, we're pathologically lying again (oops), because the "Wanted" singer clearly doesn't need our positive vibes to win anything (watch this performance for proof!). And we haven't exactly been told that we're good luck charms by former Grammy winners... it's just that "The Secret" teaches us that "thoughts become things," and we're practicing!

We've got Grammy night wrapped up on MTV: Check out show highlights, Grammys photos, Grammys red carpet fashion, and get the full winners list!
