Vegas is going country.
The ACM Awards have arrived – and Nashville's biggest stars are kicking up their cowboy boots in Sin City for Sunday night's big show.
Helming the event are hosts Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, but country vets like Garth Brooks and George Strait (taking the stage together for the first time) will rub elbows with newer stars, like The Band Perry and Florida Georgia Line.
Whether you're going to be hitting the strip in Vegas or watching from the comfort of your couch (starting at 8 p.m. ET on CBS), here are the essential songs to make sure you're in the loop.

Your coworkers are all wearing red. (You're in black.)
Your "couple friends" are making Facebook positively nauseating today with multiple "I love you, schmoopie" posts. (You posted a link to a news article on rising divorce rates.)
Cut-outs of a certain flying, fat baby line store windows. (You think it's no coincidence that Cupid rhymes with stupid.)

Survive Friday the 13th with Our Spotify Playlist
Originally posted 07/13/2012 12:00PM
If you're suffering from Friggatriskaidekaphobia – to the uninitiated, that's a fear of Friday the 13th – fret not. Here's just the solution for your bad luck: a very lucky Spotify playlist.
While Rebecca Black's "Friday" may come to mind, it isn't on Spotify.
Instead, we dug up some fun songs about superstitions ("Knock on Wood," "Black Cat," "That Old Black Magic"), Fridays ("Freaky Friday"), and even the date itself (Johnny Cash's haunting "Thirteen").
This way, those not feeling so "Lucky" – or find the day too "Spooky" – can just listen to "Tomorrow Will Be Kinder" and pray for Saturday to get here as quickly as possible.
