Carrie Underwood looks to be keeping her job with the NFL…
Craig Morgan to be honored by the Army…

 

It looks like Carrie Underwood will be back as the opener for another season of NBC's Sunday Night Football. 
Though no official announcement has been made, a member of the show's staff tweeted a picture of Carrie in the studio recording. 
Carrie has been part of the opening sequence since 2013.

Craig Morgan will be honored with the Army's Outstanding Civilian Service Medal for his dedication to entertaining our troops and their families. The award, which will be given out later this month, is the highest award a civilian can receive. 
Craig is being recognized for his dedication to supporting not just soldiers, but to all military serving their country.

Miranda Lambert’s clothing line is coming soon…
FGL has one billion streams… 

Miranda Lambert is out with a new clothing, shoe and accessory brand this fall. She created the Idyllwind line for women who want to feel empowered while doing ordinary or extraordinary things.
Miranda says, “It has a vintage vibe with a fashion edge. We wanted to build something comfortable with great quality — clothes and boots you can wear on the road, hanging out and a few showstoppers for going out, too.”
The line will be available in Boot Barn later this year.

Florida Georgia Line have officially surpassed their previous chart record for the second longest-running song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. This week, FGL celebrates 26 consecutive weeks at No. 1 with "Meant to Be," their collaboration with Bebe Rexha.
The song has also topped one billion global streams. The song has been streamed 19.6 million times in the U.S. alone.
Sam Hunt’s "Body Like a Back Road" still holds the No. 1 position at 34 weeks at No. 1. FGL remain in the second and third spot for longest played songs in the chart's history- with “Meant to Be” and “Cruise,” respectively.
