Nashville notes: Carrie Underwood’s ‘rhinestone milestone’ + Luke Combs’ Teddy Swims cover

The 16th Darius and Friends benefit on Monday at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium raised more than $815,000, bringing the total amount Darius Rucker has given to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis to more than $5.1 million. 

Seventeen-year Opry member Carrie Underwood unveiled a special “rhinestone milestone” mic stand Tuesday during her fan club party and two sold-out shows at the Grand Ole Opry House. It follows the recently revealed Dolly Parton mic that also marks the Opry’s 100th birthday.
