On last night's (Dec. 3) performance episode of 'The Voice,' pop rocker Cassadee Pope tackled the Rascal Flatts' track 'Stand' as her first song. Each contestant delivered two songs: one of their own choosing and their coach's choice. Can you guess who picked this tune? Regardless of who picked it, Pope gave the song a pop rock makeover, turning it into a Cassadee Pope song.
The holidays are upon us and with them, plenty of country music programming on the small screen to warm up those chilly nights. Not only do we have 'Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas' scheduled to debut on Dec. 3, but we'll also be treated to Rascal Flatts on the seasonal 'A Home for the Holidays With Rascal Flatts.' The trio will host and perform during the annual event, which had been hosted by Faith Hill in previous years.
'Changed,' the new single from Rascal Flatts, feels more personal than anything the trio has released up to this point in their decade-plus long career.

For the second week in a row, country music reigned supreme on 'The Voice,' at least in terms of the special guest performers. Rascal Flatts performed 'Changed' on tonight's (Nov. 20) elimination episode.

Did you know that the guys of Rascal Flatts are solely responsible for Blake Shelton's transformation from small town Oklahoma boy to one of country music's leading men?

Rascal Flatts' self-titled debut album set up what would become the group's undeniable breakthrough album in 2002. 'Melt' was released 10 years ago today (Oct. 29, 2012). It features three of the band's most-played and most-enjoyed singles to date.
Though Rascal Flatts member Joe Don Rooney has seen tremendous success as part of Rascal Flatts, proven by fact that the trio recently earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, his priority remains his family.
