Salt Lake City is the most populated city in the US state of Utah. In the most recent estimate Salt Lake City had a total population of 1, 175, 905. The city which is commonly referred to as just "Salt Lake" is part of the large urban area known as the Wasatch Front which has a population of 2, 328, 299 million people, which is the largest populated area in the Intermountain West.

The city was founded in 1847 by Brigham Young, Isaac Morley, George Washington Bradley and others, all who were Mormon followers. Currently the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints still has a strong presence in the city. Because of quick economic growth and a few mining booms Salt Lake City grew quickly and earned the nickname "Crossroads of the West."

Salt Lake City was originally traversed by the first transcontinental highway, Lincoln Highway, but now the city can be accessed by two major freeways: I-15 and I-80 which intersect in the city. You can also get around Salt Lake by their light rail transit system, TRAX. The city, which boasted an extensive streetcar system until 1946, plans to bring back the cars in 2013 under the Sugar House Streetcar system.

Salt Lake City is home to the LDS church and boasts many LDS-related sites that are open to visitors. You can visit the Utah Olypmic Park which was home to the 2002 Winter Olympics. Stop by the city's largest park, Liberty Park and check out the birds at the Tracy Aviary. Looking to explore outside the city? Check out the exhibits at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum.

The Grand Ole Opry® presented by Humana® honored six-time Grammy® winner Carrie Underwood on her 5th anniversary as an Opry member this evening, and she celebrated by closing the first of two shows with a special segment full of her music.

After a video presentation highlighting five years of Underwood Opry performances ran for the audience, Underwood said, “It's so hard to believe it's been five years, but what an amazing five years it has been. Just watching that video, I was getting a little teary-eyed, thinking about how I felt when all of that was happening. And I still feel that blessed and that honored to be on this stage.”

Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher presented the Opry member with a commemorative print marking the occasion, saying, “You have far surpassed the high expectations we had when we brought you into the family, and we know it is going to continue into the future. You are not only so good for country music, you are so good for the Grand Ole Opry, and you are so good for America. We appreciate all that you do.”

Underwood was inducted as an Opry member by fellow member Garth Brooks before a sold-out audience in May 2008. Her next appearances on the Opry are set for July 5th and 6th.

Since winning American Idol and releasing her debut album in 2005, Underwood has sold over 15 million albums and placed 17 No. 1 singles on the charts. Her recent album, Blown Away, made history by debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart, making Underwood only the second country artist in the 47-year history of the chart to have each of their first four albums debut at No. 1. The now platinum-selling Blown Away album also debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, making Underwood only the second country artist in history to have three consecutive albums debut at No. 1. She is a six-time Grammy® winner, a two-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, and a three-time Country Music Association and ACM Female Vocalist winner. She recently wrapped her “Blown Away Tour” having performed 112 shows in 110 cities before one million fans across three continents sand six countries since its launch last spring. The Country Music Hall of Fame is now featuring the “Blown Away Tour” in an exhibit that is open until the fall.

She was Pollstar's Top Female Country Touring Artist of 2012, and six-time GRAMMY® winner Carrie Underwood now brings the magic of her sold-out “Blown Away Tour” to DVD with the August 13 release of The Blown Away Tour: LIVE.

Filmed in concert this past March in Ontario, California, The Blown Away Tour: LIVE features more than twenty songs, with performances of a dozen of Carrie's #1 singles, including such favorites as “Before He Cheats,” “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” “Two Black Cadillacs,” and the album title track that inspired her tour name, “Blown Away.”

Alongside nearly 100 minutes of performance footage will be exclusive bonus clips offering a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the tour, including interviews with Carrie and Raj Kapoor, the tour director responsible for the large production and effects that defined the remarkable visual elements of “The Blown Away Tour.” Among the additional content is a selection of music videos from Carrie's Platinum-certified Blown Away album.

DVD audio for The Blown Away Tour: LIVE will be in Dolby® 5.1 and stereo.

Carrie's remarkable “Blown Away Tour” launched in the spring of 2012 and continued through May 23, 2013, for a total of 112 dates in 110 cities, six countries, and three continents, playing for more than 1,000,000 fans and selling out every concert this year.

By the numbers, the state-of-the-art stage production for the “Blown Away Tour” included 575,424 individual LED lights in 3,000 square feet of video walls and an incredible 23,063 feet of cable to generate the 172 different colors used in the show's lighting. As part of each show, Carrie and her band flew 150 feet above the audience at a speed of .3 feet per second on a secondary stage that weighed 5,890 pounds, while a total of 450 CO2 tanks and 222 Nitrogen tanks were used during the life of the tour to create the “Blown Away” tornado effect at each performance.

Carrie's two previous headline tours, 2008's “Carnival Ride Tour” and 2010's “Play On Tour,” performed for a combined total of nearly 250 shows with 2.2 million fans in attendance. She wrapped 2008, 2010, and 2012 as the top female country touring artist.

Season 5's Ace Young and Season 3's Diana DeGarmo have finally tied the knot! The IDOL™ couple made headlines last year when Ace proposed to Diana live on the Season 11 finale. 

According to People.com Ace and Diana had 250 guests join them on their special day. Ace confessed his feelings for Diana saying "Diana and I are in it forever. She's my best friend." Diana echoed Ace's feelings saying "I can't wait to spend my life with my husband."

Ace and Diana met while performing on a Broadway production of Hair together and the two hit it off automatically. The couple even recorded an original song, "I Do" for their first dance.
