And so while much has changed for her since the boy band\u2019s heyday in the late 80s, her commitment hasn\u2019t. She retweeted Donnie Wahlberg\u2019s post about the band\u2019s new video for the song \u201cThe Boys in the Band (The Boy Band Anthem),\u201d which is scheduled to be on the NKOTB\u2019s re-issue of their 1988 hit record <em>Hangin\u2019 Tough<\/em>. The video features the New Kids \u2014 Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, and Danny Wood \u2014 along with a few appearances from Lance Bass, Naughty By Nature, Debbie Gibson, and Bell Biv Devoe of New Edition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Tim McGraw Ready to Dance Across the Desert<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>If you blinked, you might\u2019ve missed it. That\u2019s just how Instagram stories work. But we managed to grab a few seconds of Tim McGraw\u2019s latest one, with him standing in the chilly outdoors in a down jacket and faded blue jeans, where he\u2019s pining for some dry heat. \u201cArizona Country Thunder, we can\u2019t wait to see you. We\u2019re looking forward to being out in the desert with you,\u201d he said of the upcoming country music festival in Florence, Arizona. McGraw is the headliner scheduled for April 12. Clay Walker, Craig Campbell and more will be opening his show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Jake Owen Books Wedding Singer Gig<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>At a listening event in Nashville earlier this week, Jake Owen played a new song \u201cMade For You,\u201d written by Joey Hyde, Benjy Davis and Neil Medley. It\u2019s one he calls a powerful song about life and love. And he shared with <em>Billboard<\/em> that that was going to be Carly Pearce and Michael Ray\u2019s wedding song. And Owen will be the one singing it. \u201cI said, \u2018Holy shit. Yeah, I\u2019d love to!\u2019 And then I realized: \u2019I\u2019m a wedding singer now.\u2019 As funny as that is, it really is a true testament to, I mean, the fact that I\u2019m going to be singing it at two singers\u2019 weddings with a song that honestly means something to them,\u201d Owen said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Blake Shelton Collaborates with Uglyville Mayor<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>His name is Ox. File it under Hollywood Hopeful Names You Want to Remember, because pretty soon, the little green guy is going to be a star. Good thing he\u2019s got Blake Shelton on his side. Shelton had Ox, the fuzzy little green Mayor of Uglyville, on his lap while <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/blakeshelton\/status\/1105958878964039687\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he was backstage<\/a> at his newest Ole Red location in Gatlinburg, prepping the night\u2019s set list. Their friendship makes a lot of sense when you consider that Shelton is going to be Ox\u2019 voice in the upcoming <em>UGLYDOLLS<\/em> movie, in theaters May 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Cody Johnson Teases Show Surprise<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Right after the rodeo dust settles, the Rodeo Houston website promises, a superstar will take the stage. And on Friday (March 15), it will be Cody Johnson. He is the Texas-based country singer-songwriter who hundreds of thousands of fans outside the Lone Star State have recently discovered, thanks to his latest chart-topping <em>Ain\u2019t Nothin\u2019 to It<\/em>, which is full of the kind of straight-up honky-tonk music we\u2019d all been missing. \u201cWho\u2019s comin out to @RODEOHOUSTON tomorrow,\u201d Johnson asked his Twitter followers. \u201cWe have something fun planned for y\u2019all\u2026 stay tuned for more info tomorrow at 8am CST!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1803937\/five-at-five-blake-shelton-gets-ugly-carrie-underwood-still-a-blockhead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 32m ago Give us a minute, and we\u2019ll give you five things to know in country music.
