This week, Keith Urban shared some huge news with fans. The “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer revealed he will be a Mega Mentor on this season of “The Voice”. Urban is very familiar with the singing competition. During season 15, he was an advisor to Blake Shelton. He also served as a coach for “The Voice, Australia”, for three seasons. Urban said that he loves mentoring and helping artists by giving honest and constructive feedback while also being supportive. Keith’s Mega Mentorship will begin on Monday, April 8.

Miss Miranda Lambert is back in Sin City to finish up her “Velvet Rodeo” residency. Miss Miranda had plenty of surprises for fans over the weekend. The sweetest surprise was a gender reveal for her bestie/personal assistant, Cameron Mitchell, who is married to Miss Miranda’s keyboardist/band leader, Danny Mitchell. The reveal happened during the final chorus of “Drunk”; cannons shot out pink confetti that rained down on the crowd. It was a beautiful and emotional moment for not only the parents-to-be, but for everyone in attendance.
