Music City Minute: Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton

Carrie Underwood got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and of course, pretty emotional in her induction speech.

She explained to the audience how crazy it is that a girl from Checotah, Oklahoma ended up where she was… and got about a sentence in before she started crying(She starts talking at 49:36.) 

One of the best parts were when she talked about how her parents would enter her in singing contests, and got her an old mixing board and giant speakers to practice.

She said, "They would always ask me, 'Did you practice?'" Which they knew I did, because we lived in a tiny house and they could hear me. But driving me to places, taking me to places, just being incredibly encouraging.”

Brad Paisley was there to salute Carrie and her family, and Simon Cowell talked about how she basically saved the show back in 2005, when it was faltering during Season 4. You can check out the entire ceremony on our Y100 Facebook page in the Music City Minute blog, couldn’t of happened to a sweeter person.

There have been a lot of viral moments at country concerts recently… stars interacting with fans, their phones, and such.

Keith Urban was playing a show in Winnipeg, Canada on Wednesday, and saw two fans holding a yellow neon sign that said they'd get the day off… if he mentioned the ORTHODONTIST they worked for.

Well, Keith was totally down. He invited them up on stage, and apparently, they'd made a bet with their boss… his name is Brent, from Kildonan Orthodontics.

Then Keith CALLED the guy, and asked him to give EVERYONE at the office a day off… and maybe even a raise… and they made a deal.

Then Keith posed with a sign that said "Visit Kildonan Ortho for your perfect smile!"

So… basically just a shameless promo for the guy's business. But you gotta give the guy props for creativity. And when's the last time YOUR favorite singer got you a day off?

And of course we have more wristbands for the Blake Shelton Pop Up Concert tonight at Cowboys all day at :40 after!
