Two of music's hottest female performers, Carrie Underwood and Nicki Minaj, are headed to Seattle.

Underwood, multiple Grammy winner and American Idol champ, has included a stop at Key Arena on the Blown Away Tour this fall. The tour announcement coincided with the mega country star's newly released album, Blown Away. Tickets for Underwood's show on October 6 go on sale Friday, May 18 (10 a.m.). She has a string of No. 1 hits to pluck for her set list, most notably 'Before He Cheats,' 'Jesus, Take the Wheel,' 'Cowboy Casanova,' and 'All-American Girl.' Get tickets fast, as this concert is likely to sell out.

Minaj, who stirred the pot at the Grammys this year with a daring dress (to say the least) and a strange performance (to say the very least), brings her first proper headlining tour through Seattle on August 11. The R&B/hip-hop diva, whose Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded came out last month, appeared with Madonna (and M.I.A.) during the Super Bowl halftime show in February. I'm not a fan of all Minaj's music, but as long as she does 'Massive Attack' at the show, I won't complain. The Paramount Theatre is where she's slated to play, although no ticket information was available at press time.
