Katelyn gave fans a sneak peek into the episode that features the superstar couple this week. For each episode, The Home Edit will visit and organize a different aspect of a celebrity’s home. In the case of the Brown family, they’re bringing their organizational skills to the kitchen.

The clip shows a glimpse into Kane and Katelyn’s revamped pantry, featuring labeled snacks, clear bins of Hersheys chocolate bars and some strategically placed Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

“The cereal’s super close to the pantry door, so when I’m playing Xbox and I gotta hurry, I can just, ya know, grab and go,” the singer comments with a smile.

Other celebrities featured on Get Organized with the Home Edit include Reese Witherspoon, Neil Patrick Harris and Khloe Kardashian. The series premieres on Netflix next week; in the meantime, you can watch the trailer on YouTube.

UMG NashvilleLauren Alaina released her six-song Getting Over Him collection this week. She co-wrote every track on the project, which is the follow-up to March’s Getting Good EP.

Over the past couple of years, Lauren has established herself as one of country music’s most in-demand collaborators, serving as featured guest alongside the likes of Dustin Lynch, Chris Young and Jon Pardi. With her newest project, Lauren called in Jon to return the favor: He lends his voice to the Getting Over Him title track.

It’s the first time Lauren’s included a duet on a record, but it’s not the only collaboration on Getting Over Him. She also tapped Danish pop act Lukas Graham to join her for “What Do You Think Of?”

To celebrate her new EP’s release, Lauren will stop by ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday, September 7. She’s also looking ahead to a performance at the 2020 ACM Awards, which is set to take place on September 16.

ABC/Image Group LAJason Aldean may be one of country’s biggest superstars, but his date nights — or days) — out of the house are actually pretty low-key. The singer’s wife, Brittany, recently posted a selfie showing how the couple takes advantage of quality time together.

In the snapshot, Jason and Brittany are smiling from the front seat of a car. “Mom and Dad date day,” she writes in the caption of her post.

Of course, the comments section was full of inquiring fans who wanted to know what “date day” looks like for the superstar couple.

“Lol…today? Sushi and Whole Foods! WILD,” Brittany responded.

“Don’t forget we went to Target too,” Jason chimed in.

While Whole Foods and Target may not be the most glamorous of date venue options, the couple seem to be enjoying their downtime with their two young children, Memphis and Navy.

Jason recently turned the spotlight on his family in the music video for his current single, “Got What I Got.”

Big Loud RecordsNewcomer Hardy has already made a name for himself in country music, penning hits like Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country” and Morgan Wallen’s “Up Down.” Now, he’s issuing his first major statement as an an artist with his debut album, A Rock.

“I am overwhelmed with excitement to share the next chapter of myself as an artist with my fans,” the singer says. “I truly believe there is a song for everyone on this record and I can’t wait to see what it does for me and my career. I’m so thankful to be able to make music for a living and I’m giving you guys my heart and soul with this record.”

Previously-shared tracks off A Rock range from the romantic “Boyfriend” and the powerful, gut-punching “Give Heaven Some Hell,” to “One Beer,” a collaboration with Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson, which is currently a top-15 hit for Hardy.

The new project follows Hardy’s Hixtape Vol. 1 a creative duets project that saw the singer teaming up with a huge range of his friends and country peers. “One Beer” was on the track list of that album, too.

To celebrate the release of A Rock, Hardy is on deck to make his debut on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He’ll perform his brand-new song,  “Ain’t a Bad Day.”

Big Machine RecordsCarly Pearce made her official return today with “Next Girl,” an up-tempo power anthem that walks another woman through how to avoid the same love trap that once got the best of her.

“I bet you probably met him at a bar / Let him walk you to your car / I bet her said he never falls this hard / Yeah, I remember that part,” Carly sings. “He knows how to say all the right things / Knows how to get you out of that dress / Knows how to make you think you’re the best thing / But I know what happens next, girl…”

The song was written in the midst of a whirlwind of change for Carly: Not only was she stuck at home after having to scrap her touring schedule amid the pandemic, but earlier this summer, she filed for divorce from Michael Ray, her husband of eight months.

It was also the first time since the outset of her major-label career that Carly dove into a new musical chapter without her longtime producer, busbee, who died unexpectedly of brain cancer last year.

But Carly found strength in the kind of country music she loved growing up, especially classic empowerment anthems by women. Fortified by the likes of Loretta Lynn, The Chicks and Patty Loveless, she and her co-writer sat down to write a power anthem that would make the female legends of country proud.

“We live in a world where there are so many smooth-talking guys who’re so quick to sweep you off your feet — and they always have a story about the girl before,” Carly explains. “So when we were asking ourselves, ‘What would Patty Loveless do?’ We figured not only would she warn the girl, she’d turn over all the cards…”
