Carrie Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher recently went zip lining during a break from her Blown Away Tour. The couple doesn’t get to take too many vacations…but they were lucky enough to get to spend one day together to do “married couple” stuff.
Rascal Flatts will be headed Down Under next year for the first time ever! The group will headline the iconic CMC Rocks the Hunter Festival in New South Wales. Chris Young and The Band Perry are also on the bill.
