"Having musical legend Tony Bennett and the hugely talented country music star Carrie Underwood perform on our show is a true gift. The talent that they bring together is amazing," the show's Executive Producer Leonard Goldberg told Us Weekly in a statement Thursday. "We're looking forward to an exciting second season premiere with a story that is certain to provoke debate, and are thrilled that Tony and Carrie can be a part of it."

Underwood's Blue Bloods gig is not her first primetime appearance on the network. In February 2010, she made her acting debut on CBS' How I Met Your Mother opposite series star Josh Radnor.
