Scotty and Lauren - The perfect country couple

Scotty McCreery may have won American Idol 10, but runner-up Lauren Alaina has been by his side every step of the way throughout their two-week post-Idol publicity tour. It seems you don't get one without the other, and while the duo denies allegations that they are a couple, they sure have been joined at the hip.

Last night Scotty and Lauren introduced Sugarland at the CMT Country Music Awards after having walked the red carpet earlier in the evening.

Other Idol winners and runners-up have done the post-show publicity tour together, but Lauren and Scotty may be the first to actually duet together during this run. The twosome sang "I Told You So" on the Today show.

It helps that both teens are country singers. They also shared the entire Idol experience together, including being tutored during the season, an experience that certainly bonds people.

Scotty and Lauren have the summer tour to look forward to. The tour kicks off July 6 in West Valley City, UT and ends in Rochester, NY Sept. 10. The tour stops in Syracuse Sept. 6.
