Cyndi Lauper is putting her money where her mouth is for her upcoming concert in North Carolina. The singer is donating the proceeds from the show to an organization that is fighting to repeal recent legislation that has been called "the most anti-LGBT bill in the country."

Cyndi Lauper is going country with a new album of country classics, titled Detour. The icon stopped by the Taste of Country Nights Studio to chat about the record, sharing that although it is a detour from her typical style, it's helped her to grow musically.
