Country singer Hil, has sold more than 40 million records globally and has captivated the hearts of music lovers all over the world. Taylor swift named the 43-year-old singer as the best of all her Nashville favorites, in an interview with Nashville Lifestyles Magazine.
"My favorite person in Nashville is Faith Hill," she said. "She's been my idol since I saw her on both VH1 and CMT when I was about 10. I loved how she was taking country music to bigger audiences, and her grace in the spotlight. Since I put out my first album, Faith has been a welcoming and warm presence in my life, time after time. She sends flowers on my birthday and sent me cookies when I got sick."

Who else is on her top favorite list? It's Kenny Chesney.
About him she says, "He's so supportive and always makes sure I know he's in my corner. He sends little notes of encouragement, and I know I can ask him for advice any time." She added that these two people have been her inspiration from her childhood for their accomplishments, and when she finally met them, they inspired her more for who they are as people.
Not to mention that her family is the biggest support to the singer, but she also appreciates the wisdom of the two people who've been singing from almost the time she was born.

9/11 tributes, memories: Several Cowboys will be using equipment tonight that honors the victims of the  9/11 terrorists attacks.
Running back Tashard Choice and receiver Miles Austin will wear Under Armour cleats that have "FDNY" and "NYPD" written in large print on the sides.
"To show my gratitude and respect, I'll be wearing special cleats for 9/11," Choice wrote on Twitter. "God bless America and our freedom."
Austin was a 17-year-old high school student in Garfield, N.J., when terrorists attacked the United States. His enduring memory: watching the smoke rise from ground zero.
"It was a shock to see something like that happen and so many people killed," Austin said. "You (could) see the smoke from my town, pretty close. I'm older, and I know friends who work in that financial district. I knew people who knew people who were affected by it. It was crazy."
Linebacker Bradie James will be one of three Reebok clients on the Cowboys who will wear special American-themed gloves and cleats.
James was at LSU coming out of biology lab class when he learned of the planes hitting the World Trade Center towers.
"People were talking about, 'One of the towers went down,'" James said. "Being from Louisiana, we didn't know what they were talking about. Then they said, 'Another plane hit another tower,' and it was all over TV.
"Then there was like a panic, like a scare. I can't really explain it. It was almost like when you're parachuting or when you're hang-gliding or something like that. You get up there, you don't hear anything. It was an eerie feeling. You start praying and hoping everything is all right."
Extra points: A win would give the Cowboys their 35th opening-day victory and their 20th opening-day win on the road. The Cowboys are 34-16-1 in opening-day games. ... Dallas has lost its last three games on Sunday night. ... The Cowboys have played only four teams fewer times than the nine times they have faced the Jets: Buffalo (eight), Jacksonville (five), Houston and Baltimore (three each).

IRVING -- Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin said his hamstring is healthy and he should play with no issues in the Sunday night season opener at the New York Jets.

Austin missed the last three preseason games with a hamstring injury and the Cowboys have been cautious with him.

The lack of practice time with quarterback Tony Romo doesn't concern him because the two have played with each other the last six seasons.

Of Romo's 118 touchdowns, 16 have gone to Austin, tied for the third most on the team since he became starting quarterback in 2006.

"Yeah, I'm ready, as long as he says that I'm good," Austin said after Friday's practice. "Obviously we've been working with each other six years now [and] we have a good feel for each other. He knows how I run, I know how he throws the ball [and] we’re just trying to do things."
