As Sunday is Mother’s Day here in the USA, the second theme, according to Caleb, will be “Mothers Day” which really, is simply a way to frame “sing whatever you want as a second song!” There are an infinite number of ways to tie a song back to a parent. Am I right?
We are doing a Mother’s Day song and a carrie underwood song!

All the moms will probably be sitting in the audience, and there will likely be pre-performance video packages that feature sentimental family stories
Carrie is a mom! Maybe little Isaiah will be along as she stops by to perform her hit single, “Cry Pretty,” which the singer co-wrote and co-produced. The song debuted in its first week sales at #1 in the U.S. all-genres, topping the iTunes Top Songs charts in 12 countries. The new album – her first for Capitol Records Nashville – will be released on September 14, marking the first time she has co-produced her own album.
