With restaurants and bars shutting down and sold-out tours being canceled country singers like Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, and more superstars have been performing at-home concerts for us fans to watch online. While we’re living through difficult times and as we come to terms with life under self-quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic, music can help bring us joy — and so we thank these musicians who are helping to bring a smile to our day.
And thank you CMT who just announced an uplifting virtual tribute to recognize the most vital and inspirational Americans on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic — CMT Celebrates Our Heroes will premiere Wednesday, June 3 at 8 pm E.T. and will feature one-of-a-kind tributes and performances from country music’s biggest stars including, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and more to be announced, all filmed directly from their own homes and virtually produced by CMT.

What a night! A huge thank you to @ladygaga, @glblctzn, and @who for having me and arranging this entire show along with EVERYONE who performed and gave their time. Once again our hearts and thanks and prayers of gratitude go out to all the health care workers on the frontlines and behind the scenes everywhere who have sacrificed so much and continue to do so. We love you all – KU #TogetherAtHome

In addition to performing during One World: Together at Home, the Aussie singer has performed quite a few live-streaming mini-concerts with the help of his number one fan, Nicole Kidman, who we love seeing dance and sing along to her hubby’s tunes.

While Shelton and Stefani had planned to perform their hit duet “Nobody But You” on stage at the ACM Awards they still found a way to make it happen.
Kenny Chesney
Even, or maybe especially, in times like these, we need to remember how blessed we are to be alive, and to make every second count. Wherever, however you are, look around, dig in, get engaged! Love the people you’re with, find something to smile about. Be mindful, but be happy… and obviously take care of yourself and others. The #hereandnow music video is out now. Link in bio.

Trying to bring a little joy to your day… I hope you all are staying safe & healthy out there. Take care of yourself, and try to find little ways to bring peace & joy to your day as you can. ❤️ _____________________________________________________ This song was inspired by Van Gogh, who I read had a crush on a woman and he would walk 2 miles everyday just to see her leave her house.

“Trying to bring a little joy to your day,” the country star captioned. “I hope you are all staying safe & healthy out there. Take care of yourself, and try to find little ways to bring peace & joy to your day as you can.” The mom of two has been taking to her social media to sing a few songs and also guided meditations.
