Carrie Underwood: Will Open Sunday Night Football Again!





Carrie Underwood once again will star in the opening of NBC's Sunday Night Football.

This is the fourth year in a row she'll be "waiting all day for Sunday night." Faith Hill had the job before Carrie took over in 2013.

The Sunday Night Football crew posted a photo of Carrie about to belt out the theme song on Twitter.

If you need a refresher, here is last year's opener.

Little Big Town: New Album Coming Next Month



Little Big Town will release their sixth album, Wanderlust, on June 10th.


The group will sing the first song from the album, "One of Those Days," tonight (Tuesday) on the season finale of The Voice. The album, which was produced by Pharrell, grew out of a few writing sessions into a full-blown record. Karen Fairchild says, "Pharrell loves country music and is a huge fan of harmony. That shared passion and appreciation took us on a creative journey we had no idea would happen. The music feels like our worlds have collided in the best possible way."

Dierks Bentley: Beer With A Blackhawk

It's no secret that Dierks Bentley is a huge hockey fan. So imagine how excited he was to have Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith join him on stage to shotgun a beer during his show at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Tinley Park, Illinois this past weekend. The moment was documented on Instagram.

It's not the first time Duncan showed up at one of Dierks's shows -- he and some teammates caught him on tour last year and brought the Stanley Cup with them. They also gave him a number-7 Blackhawks jersey.
