Carrie Underwood might not crowd-surf much these days, but if she looks like a natural during the crowd-surfing scene of her “Hate My Heart” music video, there's good reason for that: She's done it in real life.

“When I was 16, maybe 17, at a Green Day concert,” Carrie reveals to ET Online. “This isn't my first rodeo. It is fun to get to do cause it is out of character, cause I don't go around doing these things on a regular basis.”

Another scene in the music video revisits another wild memory from the singer's real life: riding a mechanical bull.

“I have [ridden] a mechanical bull before. It was [at] a CMA after-party,” Carrie shares. “It was just silly. It was one of those things where everybody was getting on the bull [and] I did as well.”

Carrie's “Hate My Heart” music video is a fun foray into all the classic ways to get over a breakup — from sad movies to dating apps to working out — and it even ends with Carrie singing the final chorus to her double onstage.

Mickey Guyton seeks clarity in her faith in “I Still Pray,” an inspirational, new song that spotlights the singer's sparkling voice and delivers a poignant message.

“Sometimes when I don't know what to do or how to help, I pray,” Mickey says of the song, explaining that when she wrote it, she needed to hear its message herself.

She continued, “Before writing this song, I'd been feeling kind of overwhelmed with all that's going on in the world and how, at times, it feels like we have no control. And we don't…I don't have the answers. I just pray. So, I wrote this song from that place and hope when people hear it, in brings them some inspiration in the moments when it's needed.”

Mickey wrote “I Still Pray” with fellow country star Tyler Hubbard and two other collaborators. It's the latest in a series of songs she's put out recently, including “Somethin' Bout You” and “How You Love Someone.”

To go along with her new song, Mickey released a simple, powerful music video for “I Still Pray,” which features black-and-white closeup shots of her singing the song.

Keith Urban heads back to Las Vegas next March for an all-new residency, according to Billboard.

After a three-year residency that lasted from 2019 to 2022, Keith's created an all-new show for a different venue — Zappos Theater — that he says will accommodate a somewhat larger crowd and a new, exciting feel for the fans coming to see the show.

“I haven't played in there yet, but I've been in there and it felt a little more geared towards the kind of energy I was trying to create at [the venue for the last residency,] the Colosseum,” Keith explains.

As for what concertgoers can expect? Keith says that he's hoping to strike a happy middle ground between flashy production and a simple, performance-driven show.

“I want to take advantage of being able to build stuff that's just going to stay, but the spirit of my show, I'm never going to change that,” he says. “I'm going to have a certain way of playing that isn't going to be too dependent upon behemoth props and production that kind of sweeps and drowns me. I've never been a fan of that for what I do.”

Keith's residency launches March 3, with shows continuing on March 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18. He'll be back a couple of months later for more shows on June 16, 17, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30 and July 1. Tickets go on sale to the general public November 12.
