Luke Bryan is celebrating all sorts of American heroes with the video for his latest track “Country On.”

The video, part of which was shot in downtown Nashville, has him paying tribute to farmers, truckers, cowboys, firefighters, soldiers, the armed forces and more. In fact, the officers in the clip are members of the Metro Nashville Police Department.

In sharing the video, Luke notes, “It was awesome to spotlight all these great people to create such a special message,” adding that he “truly loved meeting all these local people” during the shoot.

“Country On” is expected to be featured on Luke’s next album, which so far doesn’t have a title or release date.

Kane Brown is giving fans yet another taste of his upcoming record “Different Man,” which drops September 9^th. The latest is the track “Go Around.”

This is actually the sixth song Kane has shared from the 17-track album. Others include his brand new number one, “Like I Love Country Music,” “Leave You Alone,” “One Mississippi,” “Whiskey Sour,” and “Grand.”

As we told you, Kane is set to perform “Grand” later this month at the MTV Video Music Awards, making him the first male country artist to perform at the annual award show.

Carrie Underwood is set to return to open NBC’s Sunday Night Football next month, and this year’s opening may look a little different.

This year, NBC announced they plan to bring some local flavor to the opening, cutting scenes of her singing “Waiting All Day For Sunday Night,” with scenes from each week’s host city, as well as activity around that night’s stadium.

And Carrie, for one, is certainly excited to be back for another year.

“Performing the show open for Sunday Night Football for 10 years has been such a joy and privilege for me,” she shares. “It’s always a fun day when we shoot the new open — our amazing creative team somehow manages to top themselves year after year.”

Sunday Night Football season kicks off September 11^th

• Meanwhile, Carrie is set to kick off her Denim & Rhinestones Tour in October, and she’s hard at work preparing for the trek, which she loves to do. “I think my favorite parts of putting a new tour together is the anticipation. I love rehearsals as well,” she says. “I feel like it’s, it’s like a show with no pressure (laughs), no pressure, no audience and we just kind of get to play music and do all that stuff and it’s fun, and so I really, I enjoy rehearsals.”

Keith Urban is opening up about the role the late Olivia Newton-John played in his life and career.

“Olivia’s one of those people that for so many Australians, particularly, has just always been part of the fabric of life, you know?,” he shares. “She was there in the 70s and kinda has just been there, for all of my life it feels like she’s been there.”

He says he first met her at a songwriters’ retreat, noting, “I was a bit of a fanboy,” adding, “she couldn’t have been more down-to-earth, kind, friendly, warm, funny, everything I thought she would be, she was exactly that.”

Keith also shares that Olivia was there the night he first met wife Nicole Kidman, as they were both being honored for being Australians who had done well in America and Olivia was on hand to introduce him. “I asked Olivia if she would do it for me, so she was the person who introduced me that night, that fateful night when I met my wife,” he says. “So, she also plays that very special role in our past, as well.”
