Music City Minute: Dan + Shay, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood

Dan + Shay’s self-titled album it out today – they wanted it to illustrate everything that’s been happening in their lives since the release of their last album. The guys were nervously tweeting about the album release last night:

Shay Mooney: "With this album we really wanted to make something that was reflective of ourselves, you know. And that's obviously life-changing things that happened to us...getting married and having a kid. It's definitely life-altering, and it definitely goes into your music. And we have songs that are, you know, that reflect that."

And Dan hopes fans can relate to these songs as well…

Dan Smyers "Songs take on new meanings, you know, after things change in your life or things happen. And it's cool to create these songs and put this work and this art out into the world, and it's special and awesome and exciting to be able to perform it onstage as well."

Here’s one of the new songs on their album that actually has clips from each of their weddings in the music video called “Speechless”:

Blake Shelton did an interview with Willie Geist that'll air on NBC's "Sunday Today". And they released a preview where Willie asks him about Gwen Stefani.

Blake opened up about how Gwen's NOT the reason he and Miranda Lambert broke up. The marriage was already on the skids when they got together.

He says, "When I was going through my divorce, I hit rock bottom, just like anybody does when they go through something that devastating.

"It's a miracle that I met somebody that was going through the same exact thing that I was at the exact same moment in time."

Sounds like they were having fun, and not looking much beyond that.

"I think in the back of our minds we both kind of thought, 'This is a rebound deal'… because we were both coming out of a pretty low spot in our lives and were kind of clinging to each other to get through this."

These days they're so happy it's almost annoying… and the way he talks, it's only a matter of time before they make it official.

"But now here we are, going on three years later and every day that goes by it just feels like a stronger bond between the two of us and it constantly feels like it's going to the next level.

"That's the only way either one of us could describe it… if she was sitting here." Blake's 42, and Gwen is 48.

The new season of NBC's Sunday Night Football (SNF) is still a couple months away, but Carrie Underwood is already back to filming the new opening for the broadcast. Sunday Night Football recently posted pictures from the shoot on their official Instagram account, saying Carrie was in Los Angeles this week filming for the new season. The series of photos show Carrie wearing two different black leather outfits as she shines in the bright lights of a warehouse studio.
