  • Carrie Underwood Gets Big Gift from Miranda Lambert

    Carrie Underwood got a pretty amazing gift from fellow singing sensation Miranda Lambert. So what is it that one country music star bestowed upon the other? Even though no one actually knows the reason why, it seems Blake Shelton’s wife bought Carrie Underwood a brand new motorcycle. Maybe he’ll share with his fans on the next season of The Voice exactly what prompted Miranda to do such a thing.

    Probably the most humorous thing about the gift and its giving is that Underwood doesn’t know a thing about how to ride a motorcycle. It does look as though she’s more than willing to learn, however.

    The two ladies just finished recording a song together for Miranda Lambert’s upcoming album, and they actually performed it–Something Bad–at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards just a couple of weeks ago.

    Maybe this motorcycle was a thank you to Carrie from Miranda for collaborating on the song?

    That’s a heck of a thank you gift.

    Carrie Underwood recently shared an Instagram photo of herself along with pal Miranda Lambert prior to their incredible duet at the Billboard Music Awards. She captioned the photo, “Somethin’ bad about to happen… @OfficialBBMAs @mirandalambert #CountryMusicRocks”

    Both of the country music stars have already embraced their motorcycle senses of style. When they performed Something Bad, each wore leather clothing that brought out their sexy motorcycle chick alter egos.

    Can’t you just see Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert heading down the road–bandannas tied around their heads–rocking leather chaps and vests? Don’t you imagine they’d have throngs of followers as they did so–both motorcycle enthusiasts as well as those driving cars?

    Miranda Lambert’s new album comes out on June 3rd. Something Bad is on it. Do you sense a music video on motorcycles in the near future?

  • Miranda Lambert Debuts Duet With Carrie Underwood

    If you didn’t tune in to the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, you definitely missed out, as two of country music’s leading ladies put on quite a show!

    While at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood took the stage to debut their much anticipated duet Somethin’ Bad, and they definitely did not disappoint!

    Before they performed, their good friend and fellow country music star Brad Paisley introduced them. Miranda and Carrie sported matching studded leather jackets and similar hairstyles, and there was no denying the chemistry between the girls both as singers and friends.

    “I’m a huge Carrie Underwood fan,” Lambert said before their performance. “‘Somethin’ Bad’ is a meshing of our styles, and there aren’t many female collaborations in our format, so I’m really excited to be debuting it on the Billboard Awards.”

    Miranda had previously talked to Billboard, and admitted to being intimidated by Carrie. “Singing with Carrie Underwood is very, very intimidating. I’ll be honest. She is an amazing vocalist,” Lambert said. “Asking her to do [the duet] was nerve-wracking.”

    “I sent her an e-mail, a long, blabbing e-mail about if she wanted to sing on the record, it could be cool, but maybe she didn’t want to, and if she liked the song, but she didn’t have to like the song … and when I sent it, I thought, ‘This sounds ridiculous,’” Miranda added.

    Somethin’ Bad is featured on Miranda’s latest album Platinum that is due out on June 3. To pre-order Miranda’s album, click here.

  • Katy Perry Stuns In ‘Birthday’ Performance

    Katy Perry performed her latest hit Birthday at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday in typical Perry fashion.

    The Roar singer held her “Birthday” bash from the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena during the awards ceremony, which happened live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

    Donning a green-colored do, Perry invited a surprised fan who was celebrating her birthday to join her onstage. Channeling Peter Pan, Perry then flew away from the cake and backup dancers on the arena’s platform, riding a zipline over the audience in a bunch of balloons reminiscent of the Pixar film, Up.

    Birthday is the latest single from Perry‘s third studio album PRISM. Debuting at No. 1 when it was released in October, the single moved up four spots to No. 25 on this week’s Hot 100 chart. Other PRISM singles, Roar and Dark Horse — have already hit the No. 1 spot.

    Another unlikely performer was Michael Jackson, or rather, a hologram of the King of Pop.

    The controversial use of Jackson’s likeness was battled out in court, but a federal judge allowed the Billboard Music Awards to go ahead with its plans to use the hologram during the awards show.

    Perry was just one of the many stunning performances at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. Shakira, Florida Georgia Line, Ariana Grande, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Iggy Azalea each took a turn wowing the audience.

    Justin Timberlake beat out Perry to become the 2014 Billboard Music Top Artist. Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars were the other contenders.

    Timberlake’s humor came out backstage when he posted a little celebratory dance:
