Brad Paisley's Twitter Shenanigans From Rising Star



Turn Brad Paisley loose on social media, and you never know what you'll get.

That's exactly why I love him and follow his Twitter feed daily. 

In this week's edition -- which could be called, "Oh, Lord, What Has He Tweeted Now?" -- Paisley takes us behind the scenes of the newest reality singing competition, ABC's Rising Star. He's hanging with his fellow musical experts -- rapper Ludacris and pop star Kesha, and the show's host, singer Josh Groban -- and, of course, affectionately picking on them in good fun and keeping everyone entertained in the process.

It started with him teasing a sometimes-controversial Kesha by tweeting, "Whatcha think, @KeshaRose -- 5 second delay gonna cut it or are you gonna need 15?" He also posted a really great photo of the two of them from the show's set.

Next up in Paisley's firing line was Ludacris, a pal to the country music community. In this case, it was the rapper's alleged tardiness that became the next topic of Paisley's fodder.

"For the record, I was on time tonight," Paisley wrote. "Someone was extremely late. This is ludacris. Just @Ludacris."

And then it was back to Kesha. Paisley tweeted a shot of the sharply and conservatively-dressed beauty in her chair on set with the playful caption, "If @KeshaRose's dress was any shorter, this would have to be a cable show."

Finally he decided to bust the two playing on their cell phones with one final tweet that called them out for "not paying attention in class."

I know. You're probably thinking it, too. Is Paisley going to be the Blake Shelton of the newest reality-singing showdown? By that, I mean the prankster judge America falls in love with? It looks like it. Clearly, you can always count on country artists to bring the humor.
