Over the weekend, Brad also shared snippets of all the songs on his new album. The new project is due out August 26.

Here's the Moonshine in the Trunk track list:

"Crushin' It"
"River Bank"
"Perfect Storm"
"High Life
"Moonshine in the Trunk"

Carrie posted an Instagram video of Penny begging for a taste of Mike's breakfast Wednesday morning with the caption, "She does this every morning."

In an effort to keep the peace, Mike finally let Penny sit on his lap and eat a little bit of that biscuit topped with blueberry jam on his plate.

Penny may be tapping into the same rebellious spirit Carrie shows off in her new duet with Miranda Lambert, "Something Bad." That song is now climbing the country chart.

E! Online is reporting that Taylor is planning something “explosive” for the VMAs, though it’s unclear what that entails. However, its source states that Taylor will not be collaborating with another artist.

Ariana Grande, 5 Seconds of Summer and Usher were named to the performance lineup earlier this month.

The ceremony will be held August 24 in Los Angeles. Beyonce has the most nominations of any artist, with eight.

According to Deadline, Miranda is collaborating with video director Trey Fanjoy and screenwriter Cindy McCreery to make a movie called Something in the Water, about five women challenging their men in a bass fishing competition. Miranda would play one of the five women in the movie, said to be somewhere between Bridesmaids and Steel Magnolias in tone.

Miranda and Trey Fanjoy have collaborated on a lot of the country stars' videos, including her latest clip, 'Somethin' Bad." They've also teamed up on the videos for "The House That Built Me," "Kerosene," "Mama's Broken Heart," and "Fastest Girl in Town."

Image Courtesy Streamsound RecordsAfter a decade with his multi-platinum selling duo, Sugarland, Kristian Bush is stepping out with his debut solo single, "Trailer Hitch." The lyrics speak to the joys of living simply and not getting bogged down with possessions, a philosophy that's more than just some lofty idea for Kristian. As he flies across the country from show to show, traveling light has become a necessity.

Kristian tells ABC News Radio, "I don't know how recently you've been on an airplane, but they can get pretty aggressive about this, 'Two bags!  You get two bags! Put your largest bag in the overhead,' or whatever it is. You seem to be rewarded if, for some reason, you have less."

Avoiding attachment to inanimate objects isn't hard for Kristian, since he's prone to leave things behind on planes all the time.  "I have left my hat underneath the chair in front of me on an airplane three times in the last month," Kristian says with a laugh. "I have to buy more hats. But I do believe that it feels good when things are just a little simpler. Things are just complicated!"

"Trailer Hitch" is the lead single from Kristian's upcoming solo project, Southern Gravity. In the last two years, Kristian has written more than 300 songs, including the ones that will end up on his album. In an effort not to forget the songs, Kristian began recording himself singing the songs as he wrote them.  He says, "I noticed after about six or seven months that I was singing four or five hours a day, five days a week, right? And I didn't realize I was doing it!"

All of that vocal exercise paid off when Kristian hit the road on his current Put Your Soul In It tour and found his voice is now stronger than ever. In fact, he's hitting notes he's never been able to hit before.

"There are songs that I can sing where I'm getting closer to the Aretha Franklin voice that's in my brain when I write some of these songs," Kristian says. "There's just a lot more control involved."

He adds, "It's exciting! It's exciting to feel that change."

"Trailer Hitch" is now available at iTunes. Check out the lyric video on YouTube as well.

Image Courtesy EB MediaEric Church released his latest album, The Outsiders, back in February, but he's not launching the world tour behind the album until September. That's given him plenty of time to rehearse and really get excited about playing these new songs live.

Says Eric, "I can look forward to it, you know? I’ve never had the anticipation that I have for this one. So, I wish it was September right now."

To round out the bill, Eric has invited one of his heroes, as well as a brand-new duo, to open his shows.  "I’m bringing Dwight Yoakam, you know, back with me," he says. "I’m a huge Dwight Yoakam fan. I grew up listening to Dwight’s music. And Brothers Osborne, who's a new band that’s out right now that I like a lot."

Critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter Brandy Clark will also open a few shows on Eric's tour, which kicks off September 11 in Bossier City, LA.

Image Courtesy Kraft Foods GroupMiranda Lambert and Crystal Light have partnered to create the United States' first-ever "playable poster" to give fans a chance to listen to her latest album, Platinum.

The new technology will be on display at stops on Miranda's Platinum tour. The Crystal Light poster uses conductive ink to sends a signal to a tiny processor that sends the music through a mega-watt speaker attached to the back of the poster.

Miranda says, "I’m always thrilled to introduce new ways for my fans to interact with my music. What better way to kick off the Platinum tour than with my favorite brand Crystal Light, and a fun, unique way for concertgoers to enjoy my album.”

Miranda's Platinum tour continues through October.
