Carrie Underwood & Steven Tyler to Film Special 'Crossroads'

The Super Bowl XLVI is about to get even more country star power! Carrie Underwood will take the stage with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, for a special performance to be filmed for 'CMT Crossroads: Steven Tyler & Carrie Underwood Live From the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam,' which will air one day before the big game.

The former 'American Idol' winner and current 'American Idol' judge join Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker and Sara Evans as artists who will sing in events leading up to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert will sing 'America the Beautiful' prior to kick off, with Kelly Clarkson singing the national anthem. Madonna will be joined by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for the halftime show.

This is not Carrie and Steven's first pairing. The two powerhouse vocalists previously joined forces for 'Undo It' and 'Walk This Way' during the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards (watch the performance here).

Carrie is gearing up for a busy 2012. The wife of professional hockey player Mike Fisher plans on a calendar full of tour dates, along with putting the finishing touches on a new album. The 28-year-old singer reveals the upcoming set of tunes is unlike anything she has recorded in the past.

"Something that may surprise some fans is that there are a few darker songs on this album," Carrie tells Entertainment Weekly. "I have always been a fan of songs that have attitude, but the ones I'm talking about have a darker storyline. It seemed to be what the album wanted, so I decided to roll with it."

'CMT Crossroads: Steven Tyler & Carrie Underwood Live From the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam' is a privately taped event. The show will premiere on CMT on February 4 at 11:00 PM ET.

Little Johnny, your jealousy is showing. This made national news, the other performances did not except Kelly singing the national anthem. Can't wait to hear these 2 amazing artists sing. The others you mentioned are mediocre at best. Bar singers.

Its not a concert. It will be a screaming match between the two of them. They both scream every song and gyrate in prostitute's clothes. Its the last thing I will watch. I can't wait to see Blake and Miranda sing America the Beautiful and Kelly sing the National Anthem. I think the crossroads with Sting and Vince and Martina and Train were excellent. They should have one with Blake and one of his voice costars. That would be good.
