At a tour stop last week at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT, Taylor Swift was honored with a star on their walk of fame. Taylor’s first performances at the Mohegan Sun Arena came in 2007 opening up for George Strait for two sold-out shows. She returned in 2008 for back-to-back sold-out shows as a special guest on Rascal Flatts‘ “Bob That Head” tour. When she returned to the arena this year, it was to headline her own show, which sold-out in a record-breaking two minutes. Mohegan Sun, who earned Academy of Country Music awards in 2005 and 2008 for “Casino of the Year,” granted Taylor the honor before her show on Friday, August 28.

Carrie Underwood surprised high school students in her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma when she made an appearance at Checotah High School to donate more than $117,000 worth of musical instruments to the school’s music program. Underwood also treated students to a performance while she was there.
The donation is part of Underwood’s Checotah Animal, Town & School (C.A.T.S.) Foundation.
“I am so proud to have come from such a wonderful community that helped shape me as a person,” said Underwood, “and I can think of nothing better than to share the gift of music with the students in my hometown. It’s so great to be able to give back in a way that can truly better the lives of these kids and help create dreams and opportunities. I’d like to give a very special thanks to the Academy of Country Music’s Lifting Lives for helping me make this dream come true.”
