Carrie Underwood is proud to be an American.
The 43-year-old country singer recently took to Instagram to share a video of her driving past a large fence adorned with American flags throughout the length of the property.
“I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord. #GodBlessAmerica #Grateful #TN,” she captioned the post.
Fans in the comments section were just as inspired by the display of patriotism, with one saying a similar display they saw at Eric Trump’s Trump Winery in Virginia “actually brought tears to my eyes. So patriotic. ”

“I feel the same way! Thank You, Lord for bringing us here,” another fan wrote, while a third added, “Beautiful and patriotically stunning! So proud.”
“Oh my gosh. I hope others that served like me get to see this post,” another fan wrote. “If those flags reflect your appreciation for your freedom, that display makes the stuff I’ve experienced a little less painful. Thank you, Carrie. Thanks to Mike and the boys, too.”

Underwood showed her patriotism in January 2025, when she performed “America the Beautiful” in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda during the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
She avoided an awkward moment when the music cut out ahead of her performance, leading her to tell the crowd, “You know the words, help me out here,” and singing it a cappella.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
The announcement was met with mixed reactions, with some, such as “The View’s” Joy Behar, criticizing her decision, and others defending it.
During an interview with Fox News Digital at the time, Lee Greenwood came to her defense, saying, “She will do a great job singing at the Capitol with ‘America the Beautiful.’”
“I’ll sing before the President takes his oath,” he added. “She will sing after. And just the moment will be magic. For those people who have something negative to say, I say keep it to yourself. Don’t attack a friend of mine who is here for the same reason as I am to inaugurate the 47th President of the United States.”

Since her time on the show, the “Jesus Take the Wheel” singer has won eight Grammy Awards and sold over 22.5 million albums in the United States alone.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel will take a two-month break from hosting his eponymous ABC program, tapping comedian and frequent Donald Trump foe Rosie O’Donnell as one of several guest hosts to fill in during his absence.
“I hope you’re paying attention this summer, because I will be taking the next two months off — this time voluntarily,” he said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Thursday evening, joking about his suspension last year for his comments about reactions to conservator commentator Charlie Kirk’s death.
Guest hosts will start the week of July 6, kicking off with Tiffany Haddish, followed by Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo and Jelly Roll, according to an ABC press release.
“And as a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites, Rosie O’Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming,” Kimmel said. “You’re welcome, and all I ask in return, Mr. President, is that you don’t do anything stupid while I’m gone.”
Last year, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was pulled from air for nearly a week after his Sept. 15 broadcast, when the host criticized some Republicans for their response to Kirk’s death.
The remarks drew swift condemnation from prominent Republican figures and prompted FCC Chair Brendan Carr to threaten regulatory action. The show’s removal also sparked viewer outrage over free speech and expression, as well as protests outside Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, and ABC headquarters in New York.
Kimmel returned to air on Sept. 23, visibly emotional as he addressed the suspension.
“You understand it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” he said, referring to Kirk. “I don’t think there’s anything funny about it.”
That episode drew more than 6 million total viewers. In his return monologue, Kimmel also offered a defense of free speech.
“This show is not important,” Kimmel said. “What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

Taylor Swift’s summer is shaping up to be anything but cruel.
A black SUV with tinted windows was spotted leaving Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion a little before 11 a.m. local time on Saturday, as the pop star gears up to marry Travis Kelce on July 3.
An eyewitness claimed to TMZ that it was the songwriter herself.
Sources also told the outlet that Swift, 36, is celebrating her upcoming nuptials to the NFL star, also 36, with her girlfriends at her $17 million oceanside vacation home.
On Wednesday, a woman – who resembled Swift — was seen wearing white and surrounded by three pals dressed in black on the balcony of her Watch Hill property.
The Grammy winner’s best friend Abigail Anderson Berard was also pictured holding a young child on the balcony.
The outlet reported that security was present at the mansion — including an armed guard at the gate.
Kelce, meanwhile, was in Los Angeles on Monday for his “New Heights” podcast live show, before partaking in a night out on the town Wednesday.
Kelce partied at Bird Streets Club with brother, Jason Kelce, comedian Druski and his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate Ross Travis.
The NFL star spent Friday at Chris Lake’s Los Angeles concert.
At one point Travis kept his fiancée close to his heart as he danced on stage to a remix of her track.
He screamed to the crowd, “I know y’all feel it” and “lose your f—ing minds.”
Swift and Travis are set to tie the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Multiple sources told Page Six that the couple is using celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed to coordinate the event.
An insider added that Seed and the couple have been working together “for months.”
It was originally reported that Swift and Travis were going to say “I Do” on June 13 at posh Ocean House in Watch Hill.
Allegedly Swift was so adamant about that specific day that she cut a hefty check to another bride-to-be who had already booked her wedding at the venue.
Months later, it was revealed that Swift and Travis switched up their location to accommodate more people.
Exact details surrounding the pair’s wedding have been kept under wraps.
In April, Travis’ sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, revealed she is sick and tired of the public trying to squeeze information out of her about the special day.
The athlete addressed the audience on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast at the time, stating: “Quit asking me and me and my mother-in-law about upcoming nuptials. Nobody’s f–king telling you anything.”
Kylie also asked fans to stop questioning her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, in person.
“Stop f–king asking my mother-in-law, TMZ. F–king being creeps in the f–ing airport,” she ranted. “Ew. Here’s the thing, even if I did have any information, I’m not f–king telling you. That’s private information between family. A and B, see your way out.”

Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery could lead to devastating bloodshed for Hollywood’s economy, according to a new report from Los Angeles County.
The merger between the two legacy studios puts about 2,500 jobs in the county and 6,000 globally at potential risk, the County Department of Economic Opportunity calculated.
Corporate, tech and real estate jobs are potentially in jeopardy given duplicative roles across the two companies. The combined studios are under pressure to deal with an “unusually high” $82 billion debt burden, and $6 billion in savings are eyed by consolidating roles and functions.
Much of that will heavily impact Los Angeles County, the report said.
“The findings reinforce what workers, employers, and small businesses have been telling us for years: our entertainment economy remains in a fragile recovery period,” said department director Kelly LoBianco.
To make things worse, the new company may not shoot many films in the area, which would provide some economic boost. Of the 19 films that were scheduled to release last year from the two studios, only one was primarily based in California.
“For the regional economy, one can take seriously the optimistic case that the combined company could substantially increase its theatrical and television output,” said Adam Fowler, an economist at CVL Economics.
“Given the trajectory of local production in recent years, Los Angeles is not well positioned today to capture much of that hypothetical increase.”
The report recommended the county reach out to the new company for commitments to local job growth and support and incentivize more local Hollywood production through tax credits or easier permitting.
The numbers come as California’s iconic film industry has already been battered over the past six years by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hollywood labor strikes, and the January 2025 wildfires.
Federal antitrust regulators this month cleared the blockbuster media merger without demanding a single concession, despite some controversy surrounding the deal. But a group of states, including California and New York, are preparing a lawsuit to potentially block it.
Meanwhile, the Golden State has been trying to make moves to lure Hollywood back to its former glory. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill last year doubling California’s film and TV tax credit program, and in Los Angeles, the struggling entertainment industry has been a hot topic in the mayoral race.
A spokesperson for Paramount told The Post that the merger will be for the benefit of the city and the state, as legacy studios navigate the dominance of streaming platforms.
“A combined Paramount-WBD will have the scale and resources needed to compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving global media marketplace and invest in content, technology, and jobs,” the company said.

Television stars are paying tribute to director James Burrows following his death at age 85.
Among those honoring Burrows were the stars of “Will & Grace,” a series he helped shape during both its original run and revival.
Debra Messing shared an emotional tribute on social media, calling Burrows a “legend,” an “icon” and a “singular talent.”
“He brought laughter and love into more homes, globally, than any other TV director in history,” Messing wrote in an Instagram post.
The actress, who portrayed Grace Adler, reflected on the personal bond she shared with Burrows, describing him as a beloved presence in her life and her son’s life.
“Today, we lost our TV dad,” she wrote, recalling how Burrows encouraged actors to experiment and trusted them to explore their characters. “I love you Jimmy. Find the clowns up there. They need direction.”
Eric McCormack also honored his longtime collaborator, writing, “We lost a giant today, a mentor to me and a dear friend.”
The cast of “Friends” also remembered Burrows, who directed several episodes of the hit sitcom and maintained close relationships with its stars.
Matt LeBlanc described Burrows as an “icon” whose impact on television and the people he worked with was immeasurable.
“Words cannot describe the impact and influence you had on us and everyone who was lucky enough to have known you,” LeBlanc captioned an Instagram photo of the two together.
David Schwimmer echoed those sentiments, describing Burrows as a mentor and father figure.
“Jimmy Burrows brought out the best in every actor he ever worked with,” Schwimmer wrote. “His warmth, humility and generosity made us feel safe, like family.”
Schwimmer said countless writers, actors, producers and crew members benefited from watching Burrows work, praising both his talent and generosity.
Lisa Kudrow also paid tribute, sharing a photo to her Instagram Stories of herself and Burrows from the set of “The Comeback.”
Burrows’ agent, Rick Rosen, confirmed his death on June 19, telling ABC News, “Jimmy was the greatest comedic television director in the history of the medium,” “He directed the most iconic, defining shows of generations. Always a gentleman, it was an absolute honor to represent him.”
Over a career that spanned decades, Burrows became one of the most influential figures in television comedy, directing episodes of beloved series including “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Taxi,” “Cheers,” “Frasier,” “Friends,” “3rd Rock from the Sun” and “Will & Grace.”
