Teen Choice Awards Add Two New Country Categories

The Teen Choice Awards have announced a new round of categories, adding more country star power to the annual show.

Two new honors added to the mix are Choice Music: Country Song and Choice Music: Album, meaning the odds are even better for previously-nominated stars Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum and Carrie Underwood to take home a Teen Choice surfboard. (See the new list of nominations after the jump).

Nashville-based artists are also included in a few non-country categories. Taylor Swift joins Taylor Lautner in being nominated in new category, Choice Movie: Chemistry, thanks to their now-famous liplock in the movie 'Valentine's Day.' Carrie Underwood joins David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson in the new Choice 'American Idol' Alum category.

This year's Teen Choice Awards, hosted by Katy Perry, will take place on August 8, and air the following evening on FOX at 8:00 PM ET.
