Carrie Underwood reveals her creepy job & Luke Bryan's next album may sound different
Carrie Underwood reveals one of her first jobs was at a hotel but it was always pretty much empty. Carries says, “like creepy empty. Like ‘The Shining’ empty. My second day there, the girl training me just didn't come in and my boss would randomly tell people I was his daughter. It was spooky so I didn't work there very long.”
Luke Bryan's next studio album may sound different than his previous six. He says it’ll for sure be shorter and it will also be country mixed with some pop. Luke says very soon he’ll go the studio to record a tune that sounds vintage-like and he’ll even have steel guitar on his new record too.
Miranda Lambert admits she has mixed feelings about showing fans her personal life and says, "I’m not a social media person, but I don’t have a choice, because it’s part of what we do now. People are going to pry anyways so I’d rather it be my news than fake news but it’s really just an odd world to me.”
Finally - Trisha Yearwood's 55 today. Tonight Maren Morris performs on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

When Tim played a big festival last year, he looked to the side of the stage, Paul McCartney was there, singing every word. Tim said it made his night to see that Paul actually knew the words to his song.
Carrie Underwood’s husband Mike says there’s one thing he could improve on in their marriage; communicating better with Carrie. His dad was the strong silent type and Mike says he’s a little bit like that too.

Brantley Gilbert has a new daughter & Keith Urban’s free New Year’s Eve concert is on
18-years ago today, Trisha Yearwood was asleep in LA, soon to shoot a video when the phone rang. It was her crying mom saying “we’re being attacked” and her mom really thought the west coast was next. Trisha said, “then it hit me…Garth was in New York City, in Manhattan, reading to kids. I didn’t know where, but he was THERE.” After a couple of hours of frantically trying to reach him because phones were out, Garth called to tell her he was ok. Soon after that all planes were grounded so Garth had to take a bus home.
Brantley Gilbert’s wife Amber had their 2nd child, a daughter Braylen Hendrix Monday in Athens, Georgia. I’ve been searching to internet to see if Brantley’s a Jimi Hendrix fan but I can’t find any confirmation of that.

Dierks Bentley fined fishing without a license & Miranda Lambert destroys a beach ball
Dierks Bentley was at his music festival in Colorado this weekend when he and Luke Bryan bragged on stage about fishing that day. A few concertgoers called wildlife officials and Dierks got a ticket for fishing without a license. He was fined because he posted a photo of the trout and that’s the proof officials needed. His ticket was $139.50 which he paid in cash and Dierks said he appreciated being treated like a regular person. Luke didn’t get a ticket because he didn’t post any fish photos.
At Miranda Lambert’s show Saturday she proved how much she dislikes beach balls at her concerts. When it got close she popped it with a knife she had on the drum riser.

some big CMA snubs & tim mcgraw's new single is an old pop hit
The CMA nominations are out and Maren Morris leads with six. A few snubs include Luke Bryan who for the first time since 2012 wasn’t nominated for Entertainer. Kane Brown who’s so hot right now was also ignored, as was Jason Aldean. In 2014, Jason was snubbed by the CMA’s so his dad wrote on Facebook, “we have an artist who’s the most downloaded country star of all time, consistently sells out stadiums, has broken attendance records set by Chesney and Strait. He’s deserving and the CMA’s are a joke and a farce.”
Tim McGraw will release his version of The Cars 1984 pop hit, ‘Drive’ today.
Jon Pardi lives on 15 acres in rural Tennessee. He says his life there consists of dogs, working out, boats, tractors, mowing and what he calls a cheap pool.

He’s also a huge fan of grilled elk meat, which he hunts himself in Montana. Jon grew up on a farm in California and says he likes to live wild game-to-table if he can.
Finally - tomorrow Kane Brown performs on Good Morning America.

Jason Aldean has a new puppy & Keith Urban is not getting ready to be a dad again
Jason Aldean has a new puppy from Stray Rescue of St. Louis, Missouri. He and his siblings were found in a drain pipe on a very hot day. Jason got him when he played there last Saturday but they still haven’t named him and need our help. Several fans are suggesting Louie.
Keith Urban is not getting ready to be a dad again. Last week Nichole Kidman shared a photo online and tabloids said she had a baby bump. It was really a scarf hanging loosely on her body.
When Brett Young moved to Nashville, he’d already spent 13 years in Los Angeles, playing four hours a night, five days a week but his career was still going nowhere. When Brett started tasting blood in his throat he knew he was singing too much and that’s when he moved to Nashville.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are filming The Voice right now and sources say they’re being very playful and flirty.
Finally - Jake Owen’s 38 today, Shania’s 54 and Jimmie Allen and Ashley McBryde are on ABC’s Strahan & Sara.

luke bryan honored in corn maze & Brian from FGL turns 34 today
Gull Meadow Farms in Richland, Michigan has made a six-acre corn maze done in the likeness of Luke Bryan. He’ll be there next month for a Farm Tour stop. It’s seven rows deep and designed to be as difficult as possible for the adult maze runners. If they make it, their reward will be a taste of the farms cider and donuts.
Lauren Alaina told Dancing With The Stars producers she won’t wear any short skirts and she has to wear tights every show. Lauren says she got that from Dolly Parton who always wears tights even though they show thru her shoes. I hear the show’s tried to get Dolly on ever since it started 14-years-ago but she always says no.
For years now, Midland exclusively wears vintage clothes they find in thrift stores. Mark says they’ve even been known to wear a ladies’ thrift blouse if it works right. The guys say there’s two things they won’t buy second-hand tho; boots, cause they formed to some other guy’s foot and hats, so Standard Hat Works in Waco makes their hats on machines dating back to the Civil War.
Finally - Brian Kelly from Florida Georgia Line turns 34 today.

Tyler Hubbard offers 'dude-la’ services & Jason Aldean’s Vegas residency goes in sale
OK! Magazine reports George Strait asked Miranda Lambert to join him on stage at his recent Gillette Stadium show but once she found out Blake Shelton would be there she backed out. A supposed source said she doesn’t want to be within “100 miles of Blake.” But it’s just not true.
New dad Tyler Hubbard joked instead of dula birthing services he’s offering dude-la’ services that includes a shoulder to lay on during contractions, back rubs and a good flashlight if needed.
Jake Owen says his therapy is going to the golf course and taking his shoes off because he likes how the grass feels on his feet. Jake says he may even like that better than actually playing golf.
Midland's 14-tune album, ‘Let It Roll’ is out today. They say the record was partly influenced by Chris Stapleton and his ability to tap into the blues and soul. The cover was shot in Austin, Texas with the guys around a vintage pink limo that had longhorns on the front.
Finally - tickets go on sale today for Jason Aldean’s residency in Vegas at Park MGM Dec. 6 thru the 8.

Shay from Dan + Shay is going to be a dad & Drake White is battling AVM
Jake Owen’s video for ‘Homemade’ out soon recreates the story of his grandparents who’ve been married for over 70 years. In 1940, his grandfather saw his grandmother in Mumfordville, KY walking down the street. He took a picture of the house she went into with his camera then started writing her letters. They became pen pals and the rest is history.

Newcomer Drake White who opened for Scotty McCreery last weekend is battling AVM; a tangle of arteries and veins in the brain that disrupts blood flow. He had a procedure for it days before his show so I’m pretty sure that’s why he nearly collapsed. Doctors say Drake’s treatments have gotten rid of 75% of his issue so far.
Finally - Lauren Alaina will be on Dancing With The Stars next season. There’s speculation her partner will be Alan Bersten. Today on Twitter Old Dominion has a Q & A session at 11:30 AM ET.
