A Friday luncheon July 11 provided the cozy setting for toasting Carrie Underwood's latest chart-topper, "Last Name." Co-hosted by BMI, the party feted the three co-writers, Underwood, Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey, whose lyrical wit paired with an infectious melody made "Last Name" the seventh consecutive no. 1 hit for the powerhouse vocalist.
