"Superfan" is a new reality competition show that is debuting on CBS next month. The premise: uber-fans of various music stars compete in hopes of being named their favorite stars' biggest fan. The show will run for six weeks, with each musical celebrity (and their fans) getting their own episode. Along with hip hop legend LL Cool J, pop star Pitbull and Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan, three country stars will be featured: Shania Twain, Kelsea Ballerini, and Little Big Town. The show will be hosted by Keltie Knight and Nate Burleson. Each week, fans will compete in various challenges, including games and trivia, to prove their loyalty to a specific artist. Adding to the pressure: the contestants will be competing in front of their superstar idols, who will actually be on stage with them. Their performance in the challenges will be coupled with America's votes to determine who will be crowned with the title of "Superfan." See the schedule when each performer and their fans will be featured below.
- LL Cool J - Aug. 9
- Shania Twain - Aug. 16
- Gloria Estefan - Aug. 23
- Little Big Town - Aug. 30
- Pitbull - Sept. 6
- Kelsea Ballerini - Sept. 13
George Strait played two sold-out shows in Nashville over the weekend; the first in blazing hot temperatures, and the second cut short by torrential rains. Fans were upset the concert was abruptly ended, but videos show George gave it all he got until the weather ended things. Playing Nashville's Nissan Stadium Saturday night, George brought Chris Stapleton up to duet on the classic "Amarillo By Morning," and the two toughed it out as the rains came down. To be fair, the fans were in for the long haul - no one was leaving during a classic performance from two greats - but it's obvious in the video clips as to why the show was cut short. Check out the rain-soaked performance below.
