Jana Kramer is, of course, well known for her career as a TV star, but the multitalented beauty has managed to stake a firm hold in the music world in a relatively short amount of time as well.

“omg! Insider” correspondent Keltie Colleen spent a little time with the actress-turned-country starlet as she prepares for the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday. Kramer is up for the Best New Artist award--but making it extra exciting is the fact that she'll be competing against none other than her own fiance, Brantley Gilbert, in the category! May the best better half win!

 Kramer is a good sport and says she'll be "so happy" if Gilbert takes the award. However...she admits she is competitive by nature, so can't blame the girl if she just sort of wants that prize for herself!

The 2013 ACM Awards will air from Las Vegas April 7 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT. For the latest entertainment news, check out “omg! Insider” on TV.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
