NO @ CCA being a single. Ever. It's the FOTF of Storyteller except FOTF is actually a decent song while this isn't.
My guess is RR will be the 3rd single and WINKIAW will be the 4th single. If it were up to me, either DL or CB would be 3rd and Relapse would be 4th. I don't like RR, and WINKIAW is a nice song but there's nothing really spectacular about it.
This era so far is honestly such a poor man's Play On that it's honestly turned me off from the album itself. I don't even remember the last time I listened to it in full. Probably Carrie's most disappointing era yet.

If RR is the third single, this album era will have officially gone to s**t in my opinion.
I'm down with any combo of CCA, CB, or DL. I'm praying to every god there is that it isn't RR. Please, no.
I'm very pleased with how "Heartbeat" has been performing at radio, however, but it still isn't selling like I had hoped. This era has been very underwhelming, and it's a shame because based on the music, it should be one of her strongest!

I'm here for any combination of DL, Relapse, CB and CCA. I also think CCA is the FOTF of this album. Although I prefer CCA and think it would make a killer single, but, like FOTF, it will not be released. I think DL will be next and I think that is a good choice. Although I enjoy it, I'm also against a release of RR as a single. It makes for a great concert opening, but there are just better songs that deserve the single spots.

I feel like "Renegade Runaway" will be the next single. I originally would've picked it to be 3rd as well, but I've changed my mind and would prefer "Church Bells" next. I do think RR should be a single at some point though. I think it would be a smart release.

Carrie will be near Bonnie Raitt at the Grammys; not sure if they have to be in the specific seat where the placard is, but it would be cool to see them together since they did the HOF performances together:

I'd be shocked if the next single wasn't Choctaw or Dirty Laundry.

Dirty Laundry for the win. After two mellow songs, this song will kill on country radio. The accapella chorus is a killer hook.

Looks like Sam Smith will be on the row behind her at the Grammys. Hopefully, she can talk to him about that collaboration she wants.

Carrie is a guest on The Talking Dead right now. She's getting a lot of mixed reactions on Twitter...haters gonna hate. But I do wish she would tone down the spray on tan though.

I really like "Storyteller," and there are some killer individual tracks, but I'm already bored by "Heartbeat," and I haven't been excited by any of her live performances of it thus far.
I like both "Smoke Break" and "Heartbeat" as album tracks, but releasing these two over Dirty Laundry, Church Bells, Choctaw, etc. wasn't the best choice.
I can see what Artista was going for this era by releasing songs that are quite different lyrically and sonically for Carrie, but neither single has managed to translate into album sales, buzz, or compelling live performances, which is disappointing.
There is so much potential left on this album, I need it to be unleashed ASAP. :'(

Yeah, and I also don't feel like "Smoke Break" and "Heartbeat" necessarily fit the title of Storyteller. Both come across as a bit more generic, lyrically. The songs on the album that are more story-like would be "Renegade Runaway", "Dirty Laundry", "Church Bells", "Choctaw County Affair", "Mexico", and maybe a few others. I don't necessarily feel like the first 2 singles have done a good job of representing the album, though they have done a good job of showing us another side of Carrie.

Carrie lost Country Solo to Chris Stapleton.

It was a medley of Heartbeat and two of his songs.

I actually .... enjoyed that? I'm surprised. I was expecting a massive trainwreck.

It was a medley of Heartbeat and two of his songs. It was just one of his songs. Great performance, but I think people are going to be confused that this was 2 different songs.

Whoops, sounded like two to me. Oh well. It was like they wanted to sing close together, but didn't feel comfortable. Probably because she's married.

I thought they had great chemistry there. Hunt's vocals were a little low in parts but otherwise I liked it a lot. Carrie's hair looked much better than on the red carpet.

I thought their chemistry was almost too good, actually! They'd make a HOT couple. And they're age appropriate for each other. She's married and he's in a relationship... I think. But talk about a power couple if they were together!!!

The more I watch their performance, the more I actually like it. I still would have preferred two separate performances... Or just "Heartbeat", but I think they did great job considering they probably had little say in what they'd actually be singing.

That performance was fire. I haven't cared for any of the "Heartbeat" performances so far but that changed it for me. The chemistry was sexy. They looked amazing together in their mirrored outfits. The blend of the songs was smooth. The vocals were great by both artists. I loved that. Carrie always delivers at the Grammys.

USA TODAYDressed down in a T-shirt, best new artist nominee Hunt rapped the first lyrics of his country hit, and later segued into a sultry duet with Underwood on her Heartbeat. The singers looked intensely at each other, Underwood’s voice steamy and creamy, his cooler and grainier. Hot stuff.

I definitely liked the performance more on second viewing. The songs worked well together, actually. I still don't love Carrie on "Take Your Time." She may not be off key like I first thought, so maybe it was more that she didn't nail the rhythm of the song. Either way, "Heartbeat" was great, and I like how they worked "Take Your Time" back into it later on. And, yeah, their chemistry was really nice.

I have watched the performance on repeat.
Carrie sounds so sexy. I can't. Since when her vocal sounds like she's moaning a bit. lol.
She looks so hot.
The performance brings the song itself to another level.
Oh, and SLAYBEAT is #1 on country itunes now.
