Country Stars Open Their Homes on Primetime TV

Friday November 6, 2009


Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Loretta Lynn and Vince Gill are among the stars giving tours of their homes and sitting down to talk with "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts.

Airing Tuesday, November 10 at 10 p.m. E.T. on ABC, "In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Big Lights. Bright Stars. All Access Nashville" will also feature a number of up-and-coming performers, including Loretta's granddaughter, Tayla Lynn, and Vince's daughter, Jenny Gill.

"In The Spotlight" takes its cameras to Checotah, Oklahoma to visit Carrie Underwood, who gives Roberts a personal tour of her hometown. She also opens up about her personal life, including her current relationship with professional hockey player, Mike Fisher. Carrie also breaks out the home videos of her childhood, including footage of her all dolled-up for beauty pageants and singing in various grade school productions.

Next up is Tim McGraw, who gives Roberts a tour of his family farm, which is just south of Nashville, I believe. He talks about being a dad, Faith Hill's husband, and the difficult relationship he had with his father, Hall of Fame pitcher, Tug McGraw. Tim also spoke about how he and his father reconciled shortly before his death in 2004.

I'm especially interested in watching Martina McBride's segment because she lives just two minutes down the road from me. And her crib is awesome! (Well, from the road, anyway...). You can always tell when Martina's out touring because that big red monster of a tour bus she parks next to her palace is gone.
