UPDATE: Jana Kramer Is Totally Playing Down Her Relationship with Brantley Gilbert.

BRANTLEY GILBERT was such a "happy man" when he opened up about dating JANA KRAMER.  Too bad Jana isn't experiencing the same kind of joy. She was at the ACM Honors Red Carpet on Monday and Country Music Tattle-Tale asked for her take on Brantley "outing" their relationship. She couldn't have played it down any further. She said, quote, "You know what, we're just having fun." ???? And there's more. They asked about Brantley saying the two of them will walk the CMA Red Carpet together. She shot that to hell and said, quote, "No, we're not going to be walking the carpet together."

Okay...something's fishy here. I'll keep you posted...

Brantley Gilbert And Jana Kramer Are Dating

It's good to be BRANTLEY GILBERT and I'm not saying that because he's selling records and touring and silly stuff like that. No, it's because he is dating the smoking hot JANA KRAMER. Sources were tipped off that something was going on between the two of them so they asked Brantley straight up. He came clean. He said, "That's right, brother. Yes, I am with Jana Kramer. I am a very happy man."
Brantley's been very happy for a while. They hooked up at the CMT Music awards back in June and they're planning to do the "couple thing" at the CMA Awards, which is November 1st. Brantley said, quote, "We're going to sit together, yeah. We're gonna walk the red carpet."

Brantley Gilbert Has "Friends" . . . Not "Fans"

BRANTLEY GILBERT really appreciates his fans. So much so that he refers to them as his "friends".  He says, quote, "We don't have fans, we have friends. "You know a friend is somebody who supports you.  These people are paying up to 25 bucks, 30 bucks, 40 bucks a ticket to come out and see us. That's support in my book. That means a lot to us."  (Country Vibe)

I see Brantley and I agree on this...all of you out there that listen, thank you for your friendship. You're not listeners to me, you guys are my friends! Thank you for listening!
