Few things are as sad as losing one of your favorite pets -- especially if you're as much of an animal lover as Miranda Lambert and her husband Blake Shelton. Unfortunately, the couple's rescue pup, Loretta, went missing from their hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma over the weekend. The country couple is hopeful that their fans will aid them in the search for Loretta, and that she'll eventually be returned her to her rightful owners.

Chad and I were chatting with Matthew Thompson this morning and Matthew is a huge Aaron Lewis fan. Matthew wanted to hear "Endless Summer" by Aaron. I told him, well it's ending this week!

9-year-old singer Skylar Cain is making quite a name for herself. Over the summer she sang at the Nashville Palace during the CMA Music Festival.

After recently placing 4th at a talent contest in Clarksville, TN, Skylar got an invitation to have lunch with Kix Brooks. And, naturally, she's pretty excited about it. LISTEN!

It's funny what you find on Twitter. I was just scanning tweets on my phone and I came across one that was quite interesting.
I saw Stewart Whitaker's article about the new commercial for NBC Football and, of course, went to watch. Wow. She is so thin. I really think she looks like Celine Dion in the video. See what you think. The song is called, 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' . It kicked off the game between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers this past Sunday.
On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of broadcasting live from the Grand Ole Opry. I love being there! It's a magical place of country music history and this trip, I was able to meet the great Ricky Skaggs.
He was very nice and actually, very funny! The 14-time Grammy winner has a new album coming out September 25th, "Music To My Ears".
