Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Carrie will be doing a duet with fellow country star Sam Hunt.

With seven Grammys already to her credit, Carrie is nominated this year in the category of best country solo performance for “Little Toy Guns.”

Among her competitors for that honor: Idol judge Keith Urban and his hit “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16.” The other nominees: Cam with “Burning House,” Chris Stapleton with “Traveler” and Lee Ann Womack with “Chances Are.”

And Carrie isn’t the only former Idol winner up for a Grammy this year.

Kelly Clarkson is nominated in two categories — best pop album for “Piece by Piece” and best pop solo performance for “Heartbeat Song.”

Other performance highlights will include Adele and former Idol contestant Tori Kelly in a duet with James Bay.

And two recently departed music superstars will be the subject of tributes, with Lady Gaga performing a tribute to David Bowier and the Eagles, joined by Jackson Browne, paying tribute to Glenn Frey.

The Grammys air Monday at 8 p.m. on CBS.
