Tim McGraw to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman two nights this week, Carrie Underwood celebrates the fastest climbing song of her career and Taylor releases the video for "Fifteen." Get the scoop on these stories inside The Nashville Minute.

McGraw Up Late -- Plan to stay up late at least twice this week, tonight (Monday, October 12) and Friday (October 16), as Tim McGraw has been invited by David Letterman to perform during the Late Show on CBS. Tim is out and about promoting his brand new album, Southern Voice, which comes out on October 20. If you can't be near your television at around11:30 p.m. when the Late Show airs on CBS to see Tim perform, log on to the CBS website to watch the mini-concert being called "Live on Letterman." The "Live on Letterman" Tim McGraw webcast will stream at 8:00 p.m. tonight. Check the CBS website for the time of the Friday webcast.

It's A Hit! -- Carrie Underwood's new song "Cowboy Cassanova" has become her fastest climbing song of her career and it could quite possibly be the fastest climbing song of 2009.  With only 2 ½ months to go in the year, Carrie could most definitely grab that honor. The song is a hit with country music fans and her new CD, Play On, hasn't even been released yet and it won't until November 3^rd. You can log on to Carrie's new-look website to pre-order a copy of the album. Carrie co-hosts the CMA Awards with Brad Paisley live from Nashville on November 11^th.

And finally,

New Video -- Taylor Swift's new video for "Fifteen" will made its world premiere over the weekend on CMT and CMT's website.

And that is the Nashville Minute.
