After angering fans and participants in reality television shows like ‘The Voice’ and ‘American Idol’ on Monday, Eric Church issued a press release in which he attempted to clarify his comments. He also apologized… sort of. Carrie Underwood didn’t seem to take notice of Church’s remarks, as she was too busy promoting her new album ‘Blown Away,’ which hit stores and iTunes today. Read our interview and see a full list of Blown Away Tour dates in the roundup below.
