A federal lawsuit alleges that NBCUniversal, the National Football League, and recording artist Carrie Underwood are among those who plagiarized a YouTube song to create the Sunday Night Football opening theme song “Game On” that precedes the athletic action. Snf is typically one of the primetime ratings leaders during its season and a bright spot for the televised NFL games.
The lawsuit was filed in the Us District Court for the Southern District of New York by songwriters Heidi Merrill, Alex Wong, Jeff Cohen and Niclas Lundin, who claim they created a slightly different version of the Sunday Night Football theme song performed by Underwood. Read the complaint here.
The lawsuit also names various Underwood-affiliated music publishers and her recording company, as well as songwriters Chris DeStefano, Brett James and Underwood producer Mark Bright.

Morgan Evans needed only an acoustic guitar, a microphone and his trusty loop pedal for his debut on NBC’s Today show, where he performed his hit “Kiss Somebody.”
The Australian country singer gives one of his signature performances, building his track on the fly, one part at a time. He begins by tapping out a rudimentary drum pattern, adding cymbal sounds with his mouth, then layering rhythmic strums, a bass line and melodic fills with his guitar before singing the first word. He changes things up once he starts the first verse,...

Two years ago, Morgan Evans was a hungry singer-songwriter trying to make his way in Nashville after moving from his native Australia, where his career was already flourishing. In the brief time since, he has nearly lived an entire life. In late 2016, he became engaged to and later married fellow performer Kelsea Ballerini. Then in 2017, he signed a record deal with Warner Bros. and released his U.S. debut — and Mediabase Number One — “Kiss Somebody.” Later that same year, he was dealt a crushing loss when his manager Rob Potts...

Dan + Shay's latest No. 1 "From the Ground Up" is special to the duo for many reasons - not the least of which is the fact that it's taken them out of one-hit wonder danger. "We're definitely out of that situation," says Dan + Shay's Dan Smyers of their follow-up hit to "Nothin' Like You." "That's a big thing," he jokes. "I don't want to show up on some VH1 show 30 years from now as a one-hit wonder." But clearly, "From the Ground Up," penned by Smyers and partner Shay Mooney, along with co-writer Chris DeStefano, has much more meaning beyond the duo's one-hit wonder status.

Her debut country album cracked the top 5 Billboard Country chart and Lucy Hale is on her way to becoming a bona fide country star.
The “Pretty Little Liars” lady just dropped the new music video for her second single “Lie a Little Better,” filmed at the Grand Ole Opry.
Hale told Cmt, "What better place to be? My last video was very narrative-driven, and for this, we wanted it to be purely focused on me and the band. It's sort of just a behind-the-scenes look at our rehearsal, soundcheck, me getting ready, the band setting up, me hanging with the band, jamming with the band and rehearsing in the Opry House. We're keeping it simple, but the way it's going to be shot is going to be really artsy and really cool.”
