Carrie Underwood, Sam Hunt talk Grammys – Requests for “no photos, no social media” ring through the Staples Center between passes on Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood’s rehearsal for their performance on Monday’s 58th Grammy Awards. The pair merged Hunt’s “Take Your Time” and Underwood’s “Heartbeat” for the duet — a first for the singers. While Hunt’s lyrics are new for Underwood, Hunt guested on the recording of Underwood’s “Heartbeat,” her current single from her new “Storyteller” album. “I’m just super honored to be with Sam representing country music at the Grammys,” Underwood says after the rehearsal. Adele was on stage next and asked that everyone be removed from the arena. Hunt offered his dressing room for the interview. “I think it’s going to be a good night,” Underwood adds. “I’m excited,” Hunt says. – Read more at The Tennessean

Scotty McCreery says an ‘American Idol’ can still have a real life – While advisers tried to get him to veer from country, he remained firm and gained the audience’s support. “On live television, the judges were pretty nice to us. But in rehearsals, Steven (Tyler) would come up and say, ‘Hey, man, you’ve got to milk that bridge.’ They’d be tough on us.” While much of “Idol” is about pushing the talent, McCreery realizes it’s best to be himself. “Even today. I think if I went out there and tried to dance, people would realize it’s not authentic and honest. You’ve got to be real. People can fish out the B.S.” “Country’s the new rock and roll,” he says proudly. “And that’s a lot of ‘Idol’s’ core audience.” – Read more at Sioux City Journal
