Sunday night, Keith
Urban will perform on the Canadian Country
Music Awards live from Hamilton, Ontario. Keith says Canadians have always had a special place
in his heart. Shania will host and she’ll also
receive the Generation Award for her contributions to country music.
The show will open with a Shania
tribute featuring Jess Moskaluke, Kira Isabella and Madeline Merlo then Shania
will walk out to be the host. Terri Clark will also be inducted into the
Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame on the show.
Yesterday Blake Shelton tweeted, “extremely sad to hear
about the passing of Burt Reynolds. Possibly my favorite personality of all
time.” Speaking of Blake, he’s a board director for the newly formed Oklahoma
Wildlife Conservation Foundation. Blake says, "when I was 10, my dad took
me deer hunting and it changed my life forever.” They’ll work on projects like
restoring game bird habitats.
Little Big Town join the Stand Up To Cancer
fundraiser tonight on pretty much every network and cable channel.
Finally - when he’s on tour Brett Eldredge is very strict
about what he eats. Breakfast is a smoothie, lunch is chicken and greens then
it’s another protein powder smoothie after the show. Brett sometimes wears a
FitBit on stage and says he’s burns 600 calories an hour singing.
