At the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, Carrie Underwood wowed the crowd the moment she stepped on stage. Dressed in a shimmering corset, a playful black skirt, and bold red streaks in her blonde hair, she lit up the room with her powerful performance of her chart-topping hit, Undo It.

But just as the crowd thought they’d seen it all — in walked a surprise they’d never forget.

Rock legend and American Idol judge Steven Tyler suddenly joined Carrie on stage, and the energy in the room skyrocketed. The audience leapt to their feet, clapping, singing, and cheering as the country queen and the rock icon finished Undo It in a fiery duet.

Then, without missing a beat, Tyler launched into Aerosmith’s classic hit Walk This Way, with Carrie right beside him. The crowd went wild — fans and celebrities alike singing along to every word, fully caught up in the magic of the moment.

Before Carrie’s unforgettable performance, she was introduced by real-life inspiration Bethany Hamilton — the surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack at 13 and whose story is told in the upcoming film Soul Surfer. Carrie plays Bethany’s youth leader in the movie, which is set to hit theaters on April 8 in the U.S. and Canada.

To celebrate the film’s release, Carrie will be making the rounds on TV this week, including appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (Wednesday) and The Ellen DeGeneres Show (Thursday). Don’t miss it!

Nashville was buzzing this summer during CMA Fest 2024, but one performance truly stole the show—Keith Urban and Lainey Wilson’s electrifying live duet of their 2024 hit, “GO HOME W U.” The pairing of Keith, a seasoned country superstar, and Lainey, the fresh queen of country style, brought undeniable charm, energy, and talent that left the crowd cheering for more.

The show kicked off with Keith singing solo, his smooth voice effortlessly delivering the catchy, flirty lyrics of “GO HOME W U,” a perfect mix of modern country and pop-rock vibes about two people who just can’t stay apart. Then, out of nowhere, Lainey burst onto the stage in a bold cowboy look, lighting up the atmosphere with her powerful presence.

When their voices came together, the crowd went wild. Keith’s soulful, polished vocals blended perfectly with Lainey’s raw, gritty tone. But it wasn’t just about the singing—their playful smiles, easy chemistry, and fun dance moves made the moment feel authentic and full of life.

“GO HOME W U” has quickly become a 2024 anthem, and this CMA Fest performance only solidified its spot as one of the year’s most memorable duets. With its catchy beat and sassy, charming lyrics, the song gave fans a performance they’ll be talking about all summer. The clip went viral fast, earning millions of views and glowing reviews for its energy and genuine vibe.

For fans of Keith and Lainey — and anyone who loves a great country duet — this was a highlight to remember. These two stars showed us what happens when talent meets real connection on stage: pure magic. Check out the full video below—you don’t want to miss this!

Blake Shelton gave fans an unforgettable surprise during his Friends & Heroes Tour stop at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on Friday, August 20. The country star was joined by his longtime friend and fellow The Voice coach, Kelly Clarkson, for an incredible duet that left the crowd buzzing.

Kelly hopped on stage mid-show to sing “Lonely Tonight” alongside Blake — a beautiful country tune originally featuring Ashley Monroe of Pistol Annies. Known for their great chemistry, the two traded vocals effortlessly, creating a magical harmony that really hit home with the audience.

Blake couldn’t help but praise Kelly after the performance, calling her “Kelly freakin’ Clarkson, Denver!” Meanwhile, Kelly cheered Blake on, telling the crowd, “Give it up for Blake Shelton!”

“Lonely Tonight” is a standout track from Blake’s 2014 album Bringing Back The Sunshine. The song, co-written by Brent Anderson and Ryan Hurd, earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, and hearing it live with Kelly made it even more special.

Fans captured the moment on video, and it’s easy to see why everyone’s talking about this surprise duet!

Before the show, Kelly shared her excitement on Instagram, calling Blake her “brother from another mother” and hyping up the honky tonk vibes he was bringing to Denver. She also gave shoutouts to other performers like Tracy Byrd and Martina McBride, and gushed about Blake’s acoustic “song circle” moment — saying her childhood self would have been over the moon.

“Blake Shelton is KILLIN’ IT tonight in Denver! I’m officially dubbing him the #PrinceOfCountry. His setlist is straight fire!” Kelly added, clearly loving the show.

She also posted a fun photo of her and friends at the concert, captioning it, “Get it @blakeshelton! We are LIVIN’ OUR BEST LIVES!!! THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️”

And fans won’t have to wait long to see these two back in action on The Voice, as Blake and Kelly will return to their iconic red chairs in just four weeks, alongside Ariana Grande and John Legend.

Tim McGraw made a powerful return to the spotlight at the Music City Rodeo, and the night turned into something truly special — not just for fans, but for his family too.

After facing years of physical challenges, McGraw was back on stage, full of energy and passion. But the highlight of the evening came when he invited his three daughters — Gracie, Maggie, and Audrey — to join him for a surprise performance of his hit “Last Dollar (Fly Away).”

As the familiar tune began, the crowd erupted with cheers. Fans were treated to a nostalgic moment as McGraw’s daughters, joined by producer Byron Gallimore’s daughters, stepped up to sing the chorus — just like they did years ago when they were little girls.

Their voices blended beautifully, and the emotion in the arena was undeniable. As the final notes echoed through the crowd, McGraw pulled all the girls into a heartfelt group hug, holding back tears. It wasn’t just a performance — it was a celebration of family, love, and resilience.

The touching moment reminded everyone that, for Tim McGraw, music has always been about more than just the charts — it’s about sharing pieces of his life with the people who matter most.

Fans flooded social media with love for the performance, calling it “pure magic” and “a moment to remember forever.”

McGraw’s comeback wasn’t just a return to the stage — it was a reminder of how powerful music can be when it comes straight from the heart.

Kelly Clarkson gave fans a heartwarming surprise during her Las Vegas residency when she brought her two children—River Rose (11) and Remington “Remi” Alexander (9)—on stage for a fun, feel-good performance of her hit song “Since U Been Gone.”

The special moment happened on Saturday night, July 26, and quickly captured hearts after a fan shared the adorable footage on TikTok.

A Sweet Singalong That Stole the Show

As Kelly began singing, she waved her kids up on stage with a big smile and a playful “Come on!” River Rose confidently took the mic and sang the chorus like a pro, while little Remi danced around with pure joy. Their confidence and energy lit up the room—and the crowd couldn’t get enough of it.

It wasn’t just a duet—it was a full-on family moment, bursting with love, laughter, and music.

Not Their First Time in the Spotlight

River and Remi are no strangers to the stage. Earlier in her Chemistry: An Intimate Night With Kelly Clarkson residency, River joined her mom for a duet of “Heartbeat Song,” even wearing a matching outfit. These moments show just how much Kelly loves sharing her world with her kids—and fans love seeing that side of her.

Kelly Opens Up to Fans

Beyond the sweet singalongs, Clarkson is also using her Vegas shows to get real with fans. At one point, she explained why she no longer performs her emotional ballad Piece by Piece the way she used to.

“People ask, ‘Why isn’t it in the set?’ And I’m like… have you listened to the lyrics?” she shared, adding that the song’s meaning changed for her after her divorce. These days, she’s rewritten the lyrics to reflect healing and self-growth—a powerful shift that many fans find deeply relatable.

Keeping Things Real—And Hilarious

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Kelly Clarkson show without a little humor. During one performance, she joked about dealing with a wardrobe malfunction in the Vegas heat:

“I have these pastie things on underneath. I’m so hot … is this the change? You might see boobs, y’all!”

It’s that mix of honesty, heart, and humor that keeps fans coming back for more—and now, with River and Remi by her side, Kelly Clarkson’s shows are even more special.

For years, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have kept their daughters happily away from the spotlight. But this week, fans got a rare and heartwarming glimpse of 14-year-old Faith Margaret as she stars alongside her mom in a beautiful new campaign for the luxury beauty brand Clé de Peau Beauté—Faith’s very first time on camera.

The black-and-white video, titled “The Key to Radiance,” opens with the soulful sounds of Etta James’ classic, “At Last.” Nicole moves gracefully through elegant poses before slowing down to share a tender moment with Faith. They touch foreheads and exchange a soft smile that feels genuine and cinematic.

Nicole, recently named Clé de Peau’s global ambassador, told PEOPLE that including Faith in the campaign was actually the brand’s idea.

“When they asked if Faith wanted to be in it with me, I just asked her, ‘Faithy, do you want to?’ She said yes, so we flew out together and had a lot of fun on set,” Nicole shared.

The Oscar-winning actress called the experience “magical,” adding that working with Faith at 14 was more like a precious gift than a job.

“She’s my baby… a sweet way to remember this moment in time,” Nicole said warmly.

While Nicole and Keith have kept their girls mostly out of the public eye, the family has started letting them step into the spotlight bit by bit. Last year, Faith’s older sister, Sunday Rose, made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week. Now, Faith’s lovely cameo marks another gentle step into public life—on their own terms.

Nicole also gave fans a peek behind the scenes, sharing playful moments between mother and daughter during the shoot. Fans loved the ad for its warmth and authenticity—a beautiful reminder that the most radiant kind of beauty comes from real, heartfelt connection.

Ella Langley and Riley Green are quickly becoming one of country music’s most beloved duos. Their hit song, You Look Like You Love Me, is still climbing the charts, but at a recent concert, they surprised fans with something special — a brand-new duet no one expected.

Right in the middle of their set, Riley turned to the crowd with a smile and said, “We’ve got a big song you might know already,” nodding to their current hit. “But tonight, we’re going to try something new. It’s the very first time we’re playing it live — so wish us luck. And if we mess up, please don’t share it online!” The crowd loved the joke and cheered them on.

The new song, Don’t Mind If I Do, stays true to their classic country roots but takes a more heartfelt turn. While You Look Like You Love Me is playful and flirty, Don’t Mind If I Do digs deep into the emotions of heartbreak and longing after a breakup.

The song starts with Riley’s character quietly reflecting over a drink, wishing he could just show up at his ex’s door and say what’s really on his heart. When Ella’s voice joins in, it becomes clear those feelings are shared, leaving a hint of hope that their story might not be finished just yet.

Ella and Riley’s chemistry is obvious — both in the studio and on stage. Their music video for You Look Like You Love Me with its Wild West vibe and a fun cameo from Jamey Johnson only proves it further.

And there’s more to look forward to: Riley just announced his new album, Don’t Mind If I Do, dropping on October 18 — which also happens to be his birthday! Fans can expect plenty more honest, heartfelt country songs on this upcoming release.

Some concert moments hit deeper than a high note — and Ella Langley gave fans just that during her recent stop in Charleston, South Carolina.

In what started as a sweet VIP meet-and-greet turned into a memory that one young fan, Sadie, will carry with her forever. Sadie had shared with Ella her love for the song “That’s Why We Fight” — and to her surprise, Ella revealed it was her favorite to perform, too. That simple exchange sparked something special.

Later that night, under the bright lights and in front of a packed crowd, Ella paused her show to tell the audience about their earlier chat. Then she smiled and said, “Why don’t we sing it together?”

The crowd erupted in cheers as Sadie was invited on stage. At first, she was a bit shy, standing quietly as a crew member handed her a mic. But as Ella began the song, something changed — Sadie found her confidence. She started singing along, dancing with pure joy, and matching the beat like a natural.

@mlpayne2024

All hail @Ella Langley!! My baby girl is her absolute biggest fan & she made ALL her dreams come true! We will forever be thankful and grateful to the kindness she showed us! 🥹❤️#fypシ #littlebestiefyp #ellalangley #thatswhywefight

♬ original sound – themrspayne❤️

Seeing her shine, Ella gently took Sadie’s hand and brought her to the front of the stage. The crowd roared even louder. What was meant to be a sweet duet turned into a powerful, heartwarming moment — the kind that reminds you why live music matters.

When the final note rang out, Ella gave Sadie a warm hug before helping her back to her proud family.

Later, Sadie’s mom shared the video online, writing:

“All hail Ella Langley! My baby girl is her biggest fan & she made ALL her dreams come true! We’ll never forget her kindness!”

Fans across social media chimed in with love:

• “That little girl’s smile lit up the whole stage.”

• “Ella didn’t just sing — she shared the spotlight. That’s beautiful.”

• “Sadie went from shy to superstar in minutes. We were all cheering for her!”

Moments like these remind us that music isn’t just about the songs — it’s about connection, kindness, and courage. And thanks to Ella Langley, a young girl named Sadie got to feel like the star she truly is.

Country star Jason Aldean wrapped up his Salt Lake City show on July 26 with more than just a bang—it ended on a heartfelt note as his two youngest children, Memphis (7) and Navy (6), joined him onstage for a surprise appearance.

The moment unfolded during the final minutes of his Full Throttle World Tour stop at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater. In a fan-captured TikTok shared by 93.3 The Bull, Aldean knelt down to hug his kids as the crowd cheered, creating a touching scene of fatherhood under the spotlight. Memphis and Navy, a little shy but all smiles, waved to the crowd before Aldean picked them up and walked them offstage in a gesture that melted hearts.

Just off to the side, Brittany Aldean watched with a proud smile. A separate video showed her warmly welcoming the kids back into her arms, adding another layer of sweetness to the family-focused moment.

Although Aldean’s family often travels with him, it’s rare for his children to step into the spotlight. Later, Brittany gave fans a peek behind the scenes via Instagram, sharing snapshots from their “western weekend,” including a charming photo of the kids standing beside their dad onstage.

For Aldean, being a dad always comes first. In a recent interview on The Bobby Bones Show, he opened up about how his kids view his career.

“I think they get it. It’s just different,” he shared with a laugh. “You may do something cool, but at the end of the day, they don’t care. I’m still just dad.”

He also talked about the legacy he hopes to leave behind—not just in music, but for his children. “If they don’t think it’s cool now, I hope they will someday,” he said.

And while the Salt Lake City show felt like a warm closing chapter, Aldean’s tour is far from over. He recently announced new international dates for 2026, including stops in Australia and New Zealand. The overseas leg kicks off February 19 in Auckland, with country newcomer Corey Kent joining as a special guest.

Next up, Aldean hits the stage in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena on August 7. With powerful country anthems and heartfelt family moments like this, it’s clear fans can expect plenty more from the road ahead.

Back in 2012, during a stop on her “Blown Away” tour in Louisville, Kentucky, Carrie Underwood did something that melted hearts and sparked headlines — all thanks to one bold young fan and a handwritten sign.

A Sign That Stopped the Show

While performing on stage, Carrie noticed a 12-year-old boy named Chase in the front row holding a sign that read:
“Carrie, be my first kiss?”

With a smile, she paused mid-show, read it out loud, and playfully asked, “How old are you?”
When Chase proudly replied, “Twelve,” Carrie laughed and said, “Well, I won’t go to jail for that!”
Then, without missing a beat, she leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

The crowd went wild.

A Moment That Went Viral

The spontaneous moment was caught on camera and quickly found its way online. Fans shared the clip everywhere — racking up millions of views and sparking a mix of “aww”s and online chatter.

Some thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Others weren’t sure how to feel, calling it “awkward” or asking, “Was that too much?”

But for those who were there, it was clear Carrie’s gesture was nothing but pure fun — a once-in-a-lifetime moment for a young fan who shot his shot and got a superstar’s response.

Carrie’s Big Heart Shines Through

Carrie Underwood is no stranger to making her fans feel special. Whether she’s inviting them on stage, replying to messages, or showing up for causes close to her heart, she’s built a reputation for being one of the most down-to-earth artists in the business.

This playful kiss wasn’t part of any script — just a moment of connection between a star and a brave young fan.

So, Who Was Chase?

Not much has been shared about Chase beyond his first name and age, but his courage (and creative sign!) turned him into a little piece of Carrie Underwood concert history.

And years later, people still remember him — not just as “that kid who kissed Carrie Underwood,” but as the fan who made everyone in the arena smile.

A Moment That Still Lives Online

To this day, the video resurfaces now and then, whether on TikTok or fan pages — a sweet reminder of how live music can bring real, unscripted magic. It’s one of those small but unforgettable moments that shows why Carrie continues to be so loved.

For Carrie, it was a fun exchange with a young admirer.
For Chase, it was the kind of first kiss story you never forget — because how many people can say it came from a Grammy-winning country icon?
