Hats off to my STAR STUDENTS who were nominated for Grammys this year: Brandy Clark, Little Big Town, Ingrid Andress, and Mickey Guyton .

When Mickey delivered a heartfelt live performance of her poignantly autobiographical song, "Black Like Me", the Grammy audience discovered what some of us have known for years: Mickey is an artist who has something to say -- and sings her butt off to boot.

And this just one month after delivering her first baby in February!

Mickey will co-host the American Country Music Awards with Keith Urban on April 18.

It's about time the world got to know you, babe!
