Carrie Underwood showed off her toned abs as she announced the launch of her new swimsuit line.
The country singer shared a glimpse of her new business venture on Instagram on Friday, posing for a smiling selfie as she modeled one of the brand's floral bikinis. 
'I'm so proud to be able to work with @dickssportinggoods to create a line of swimwear that makes me feel so good!' the 33-year-old wrote.

The new line comes after the fitness enthusiast launched her Calia brand of fitness wear. 
The musician has also just extended her popular Storyteller Tour with more fall dates.

And she shared her excitement last week as the tour brought her back to the St Louis stadium where it all began with her Idol audition ten years ago.
'Here for a show tonight in St. Louis - where it all started for me! This is where I auditioned for #AmericanIdol I'm so excited to perform on the series finale on 4/7!!!' she wrote.
Earlier this week, the singer revealed how she's using her star power to help other female country artists.

When the Academy of Country Music asked Underwood to headline the first night of their Party for a Cause festival in Las Vegas ahead of their 51st ACM Awards on Sunday, she said she'd do it only if she could pick an all-female lineup. 
'Why not just ask women? Why not have a whole night that is just all strong, amazing women kicking butt onstage and entertaining and having fun?' she said.
'I have been at places where they wanted me to play before a guy, just because it was a guy.
'Someone who hasn't necessarily sold as much or done as much or been around as long. And I am like, 'No!' It has nothing to do with ego. It just makes no sense to me.'

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are show-stopping in sexy gowns as they lead arrivals on the Grammy Awards red carpet + Nominations list

Best friends Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are show-stopping in sexy gowns as they lead arrivals on the Grammy Awards red carpet

It's the biggest night of the year for musicians, so guests at the 58th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Monday pulled out all the stops when it came to their outfits.
All eyes were on best friends Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez as arrived at the star-studded event together, both sporting show-stopping outfits.
The pop stars showcased their toned stomachs for the occasion, with Taylor sporting a red bandeau top with a hot pink skirt, which was slit open to reveal her matching underwear.
The 26-year-old was also showing off a new shorter hairdo, complete with fringe.

Meanwhile Selena went for a more glitzy look in a blue gown that was covered in sequins, and featured daring cut-outs on the side, while also allowing her to flash plenty of cleavage thanks to a low-cut neckline.
While getting ready, the pals had been celebrating Taylor’s Best Music Video win for Bad Blood – which Selena appeared in. 
Carrie Underwood was one of the first guests to arrive, and she made sure her look was one to remember.
The 32-year-old oozed sex appeal in an old Hollywood inspired strapless black gown, which featured a racy slit up one side, exposing her long legs.

Carrie also sported black pumps and a statement diamond and ruby necklace, polishing off her look with nude lips and smoky eyes. 
The former American Idol contestant was nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for Little Toy Guns, but lost out to Chris Stapleton and his hit Traveller.

The ceremony held at the Staples Center will draw the biggest names in entertainment including RihannaTaylor SwiftLady Gaga, and Adele to name but a few.
Celebs are gathering at the Staples Center to toast another year in music as they were honoured by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
The evening will be hosted by LL Cool J, who has won two Grammys in the past. This marks the rapper's fifth consecutive year as emcee of music's biggest night.
The Bigger And Deffer hitmaker has hosted 10 Grammy related shows, tributes and specials over the years, making him a favorite of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. 
Going into the evening, Kendrick Lamar led the pack with 11 nominations. The Overly Dedicated hit-maker was nominated for the staggering number of awards in nine different categories. 
Kendrick is up for the coveted Album of the Year for To Pimp A Butterfly, Best Rap Album for the same record and Song of the Year with Alright.
While both Taylor Swift and The Weeknd tied for second with seven nominations apiece.
Taylor, who has a nomination in the coveted Album of The Year category as well as Best Pop Vocal Album for 1989, performed during the live broadcast.


Edit
Her hit, Blank Space, was nominated for Song Of The Year. The last time Taylor performed at the awards show was in 2014 - singing her hit, All Too Well, from her Red album. 
Rihanna, who has won eight times before at the Grammys, also performed during the show.
While Justin Bieber, took to the stage to perform his latest hit Where Are Ü Now with both Skrillex and Diplo.
The evening also had a somber moment as the life of the late David Bowie was celebrated with a special tribute performance by Lady Gaga. The performance had been touted by organizers as an 'experiential tribute' to the late British singer.
The Recording Academy said Gaga would perform three or four of Bowie's songs in a 'multisensory testament' to Bowie's creativity as a musician whose work constantly evolved over five decades.
Bowie's unexpected death at age 69 in January after a secret cancer diagnosis shocked fans around the world and came just two days after the release of a critically-acclaimed new album Blackstar.

Gaga, a six-time Grammy winner, is also known for reinventing herself many times since she rose to fame in 2008. She had already been booked to perform at the Grammy Awards.
'But when David passed - almost in a single moment - we knew we had to change direction,' Grammy ceremony executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement.
'We immediately spoke and agreed that she (Lady Gaga) should be the one to honor David. She's perfect for it,' Ehrlich added.

Music producer Nile Rodgers, who worked on Bowie's 1983 album Let's Dance, was the musical director for the tribute. 
The life of B.B. King was also honoured at the Grammys on Monday night. A tributary performance by a diverse trio paid homage to the late king of the blues. 
Gary Clark Jr, a rocker with roots in blues guitar, took part in the performance as he was joined by two figures from country music -- Chris Stapleton, a rising star who is nominated for Album of the Year, and Bonnie Raitt.

King, the son of Mississippi sharecroppers who popularized the blues through years of nearly daily concerts and an invariably cordial demeanor, died in May at age 89. 
King died on May 14 last year at his home in Las Vegas. He was buried two weeks later at the museum in Indianola, the hometown where he continued to play annual concerts until a year before his death.   
During the broadcast Travis Barker joined Pitbull and Robin Thicke for a performance together while Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry from the Hollywood Vampires took the stage as well. 
Other artists performing at this year's ceremony included: Adele, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Ellie Goulding. Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Tori Kelly, Sam Hunt, James Bay, Andra Day and the Broadway cast of Hamilton also hit the stage.

4th Impact's Celina collapses onstage and treated by paramedics moments after Cheryl's girl group are eliminated from The X Factor

4th Impact's Celina COLLAPSES onstage and has to be treated by paramedics moments after Cheryl's girl group are eliminated from The X Factor

They received acclaim from the judges during Jukebox week on Saturday night.
But The X Factor's 4th Impact's luck ran out on Sunday's results show as they were eliminated by the public vote - before bandmember Celina shockingly collapsed onstage just moments after the live show ended.
According to Simon Cowell's ex Sinitta, the singer fell unconscious after the sing-off and had to be tended to by paramedics.
Reports suggest she was 'out cold' for 10 minutes in front of shocked audience.

While an audience member told The Mirror: 'Everyone was saying their goodbyes to the girls and then suddenly Celina hit the floor.
'Her sisters were shocked and Cheryl started calling for people to help.
'Two men ran on stage and carried Celina backstage, she looked lifeless.
'Cheryl had to stay on stage because of Xtra Factor but she was clearly shaken by what had happened.'

Speaking on The Xtra Factor after the scary moment, Cheryl explained: 'I could see her, and I was talking to her and she wasn't engaging. I pulled her in closer to ask if she was alright and she just went, she passed out.
'She's fine, she's being sorted out, her family's here.'

Of leaving the competition, 4th Impact said: 'We just want to thank the British public for welcoming us in your hearts.'
