The Grand Canyon turns 100 years old next year and the commission putting together the celebration has picked native son Dierks Bentley's latest single, 'Home,' as the official song for the event. Dierks said he did write the song about his boyhood home. "[It was] like, 'Wow, we're definitely gonna bite off a big one here,'" Dierks says of writing the tune. He says it was a tough song to write because he wanted it to be relatable to everybody. “At the end of the day, when we were writing the song, once we started getting into it -- you want this to be inspiring and hopeful, but also address the realities of what's going on." Here is the video for the song:

Carrie Underwood got the call she was waiting for.  Lauren Alaina took Carrie up on the offer to call if she needed any advice. The two exchanged phone numbers.

Your family will always be there.”‘ Alaina says “just hearing that” made her “feel 10 times better.”
