It's Country Music "Today"

Five country artists will serve as co-hosts with Hoda Kotb during the fourth hour of the Today show this week. This morning, it’s Blake Shelton in for Kathy Lee Gifford (who offered her Spanx and dressing room to Blake as a “thank you” for taking her place). Martina McBride will co-host tomorrow, John Rich takes the seat Wednesday, followed by Trisha Yearwood on Thursday, and Josh Turner on Friday.

Country music fans can now find all of their favorite artists at their fingertips with the launch of CMT’s new iPhone app, CMT Insider. The app kicks off today with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Taylor Swift’s new video, “Mine.” Throughout the week, the app will update with the latest news, photos and information about Friday’s global world premiere video.

Miranda Lambert will release her first performance DVD, Revolution: Live By Candlelight on October 12th. The six-song DVD features rare, acoustic performances of five songs, including her back-to-back #1 singles, “White Liar,” and “The House That Built Me.” As an added bonus, the DVD also features one of her favorite songs, “Love Is Looking For You,” from her Kerosene album. The upcoming DVD will also include exclusive, never-before-seen footage of the stories behind the songs. The DVD was filmed in an intimate setting – a dimly lit stage surrounded with candles – which actually set off the fire alarm while recording!
