Miranda Lambert helped three puppies find a home after her appearance on the Grand Ole Opry on Oct. 6. Lambert brought the dogs to her Opry appearance on behalf of her MuttNation Foundation, which provides funds to animal shelters nationwide. One of the puppies, a Labrador/terrier mix named Charlie, was welcomed into the Opry family, with several Opry staffers sharing responsibility for him. Charlie and the other two puppies had been dropped on someone’s property in rural Oklahoma. After being found and rescued, they were driven to Lambert’s Redemption Ranch in early July.

Stoney Creek singer-songwriter Lindsay Ell recently raised thousands to support the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Her fundraising method? The longtime tradition of street busking.
The performer and guitar slinger, in partnership with CMT’s Next Women of Country, took part in a 24-hour “Busking on Broadway” event, braving the rain and wind while performing on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. Artists showing their support during the marathon performance included Craig Campbell, Ashley Gearing, Brooke Eden, Kristen Kelley, The Raging Idiots (Bobby Bones and Eddie), Lucie Silvas, Charlie Worsham, Chuck Wicks, and others.
Ell’s new single, “By the Way,” officially impacts country radio on Oct. 19.
