and was part of a star studded tribute.

Country newcomer and Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes got a few seconds in the spotlight, singing and introducing his tour mate Carrie Underwood. The American Idol superstar added a Grammy to her collection for her performance of "Blown Away". But her dress seemed to steal spotlight. Thanks to video technology called - video mapping - her dress changed themes and colors throughout her performance of "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs"
  
Country music wasn't the only way music city was represented. Rhianna sang her new single "Stay" and on stage with her was Mikky Ekko - the Nashvillian that wrote the song and duets on the track.

Wearing Nashville designer Manuel - nominee Jack White also took the stage and lending her vocals in the duet was another Nashvillian, Ruby Amanfu.

Man pleads guilty to Memphis officer's murder
May 21, 2013 22:22 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A former death row inmate is set to be released from prison after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of a Memphis police officer.

Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said Tuesday that she has accepted Timothy McKinney's guilty plea.

McKinney was convicted of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Officer Don Williams. The officer was killed outside a comedy club in December 1997.

McKinney appealed and won a new trial, which ended with a deadlocked jury. A third trial earlier this year also ended in a hung jury.

The Commercial Appeal reports that McKinney was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since he's already served more than 15 years -- including 11 on death row -- McKinney will be released this week.

Williams' family opposed the settlement.
