Here are some of the stories we’re watching this Tuesday!
High temp with a sunny sky …expect PLUS ONE!

Blake Shelton tells TV Insider that he dislikes The Voice’s Knockout Rounds. “I just absolutely hate ’em. Because the first thing we do as coaches after we beg somebody to choose us and come on our team is kick half of them out! It’s a necessary evil, but man, I can’t stand the Knockouts. The steals were a game changer. It’s on us as coaches to use them wisely and keep the right people around as much as we possibly can. I’m counting on winning again this year. If I’m not counting on winning, I don’t think I’m doing my job right!”

Life & Style Weekly claims Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban aren’t fans of Bachelor star Chris Soules. A source tells the mag: “They’re huge fans of the show, but they said they thought The Bachelor this season is a phony and a fake. Keith even has a theory about Chris that would be pretty shocking if it was true. He said that Chris pretends to live in a desolate area on a farm, but he bets he really lives in an apartment in Des Moines. He said Chris is just trying to look like a corn-fed guy.”

Nashville Gab claims Kenny Chesney once paid Taylor Swift not to tour with him. She was under 18 when he signed Corona to sponsor their tour. The site claims Kenny paid Taylor because she was a minor and touring with Corona might have been a conflict.

Luke Bryan took batting practice yesterday with the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch in Arizona.

Cole Swindell tells CMT that they drank tea instead of whiskey in the video for “Ain’t Worth the Whiskey”. “I actually have a tea buzz. I’ve drank more tea than I ever did growing up in Georgia. They’re feeding us tea instead of whiskey, and I got water instead of beer. I’ve gotta be able to perform and sing and do all that. But some of my buddies, we might slip them a beer or two ‘cause they’re not used to this. A lot of my friends from all over get a chance to be in the video, especially one of my close college buddies, Kyle Davis. He’s in the special forces, and he’s got some of his team here that are gonna be in the video, and it’s just a cool thing.”

Maddie & Tae tell CMT they plan to prank Dierks Bentley when they tour with him because he made them take a Polar Plunge. Maddie says: “There’s going to be a big pranking war, too, I don’t know if you’ve heard about this. Dierks pranked us by making us jump in freezing water, and then Kip just pranked Dierks by putting a billy goat in the back of his truck. We’re not prankers. We’re more prankees, so we have to devise a little plan to get in this prank war.”
