On Monday, Underwood’s Blown Away tour announced an additional 40 dates across the country in 2013, including Augusta. A dollar from each ticket sold on the North American leg of the tour benefits Red Cross disaster relief.

Underwood’s Blown Away album debuted last spring at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart.

Later this week, Underwood will be a co-host of the 46th annual CMA Awards with Brad Paisley. Underwood is nominated for female vocalist of the year. The awards ceremony airs live at 8 p.m. Thursday on ABC.
