From the start, Carrie Underwood was never shy about her personal beliefs, especially when releasing her single, ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ in the early part of her career. The song went on to become a powerful smash in country music, landing the ‘American Idol’ winner her first chart-topping hit.
If you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few days, you missed out on some big news: Country-star-daughter-turned-pop-princess Miley Cyrus is engaged! 19-year-old Cyrus’ longtime boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth, popped the question last week. On the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards (okay, actually it was purple carpet), award-winning country star Carrie Underwood gave some marriage advice to the happy couple.
If you’ve been following Carrie Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher’s plans to have children, you know that in a recent interview with Oprah the happy couple had differing opinions on when to start their family. But that seems like a minor glitch compared to the bomb Fisher dropped later: He wants seven children. Is Underwood up for mothering that many kids?
“I feel like good girl who kinda wants to be the bad girl,” Carrie Underwood confesses in an interview with Hoda Kotb for NBC’s ‘Dateline,’ which aired this week. “ doesn’t quite know how to get there, but wishes she was that strong and powerful.”
With a wall of mechanical fans blowing hair all across her face, Carrie Underwood performed the title track from her new ‘Blown Away’ album at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. The country singer’s performance lacked the luminaries, exotic dancers and costumes many of the previous artists employed, but it lacked nothing in talent. She was as vocally strong as she’s ever been during a televised performance.
Finally, the star-studded CMT Music Awards lineup is ready for your eyes! And from the looks of it, this year CMT could be more about the live talent than they will be about actually giving out awards.
The last time Carrie Underwood visited the ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ she got into a bit of hot water for calling her husband — Nashville Predators hockey star Mike Fisher — a hoarder. This morning (May 9), she stopped by ‘Ellen’ again, this time to chat about how her marriage has developed, as well as her ever-growing aspirations in the kitchen, and most importantly, her new LP ‘Blown Away.’
If there were any doubts about how down-to-earth Carrie Underwood is, they’ve been put to rest after her interview in the May issue of Glamour magazine. Underwood looks dashing on the magazine’s cover, donning a peachy-orange dress and giving the camera a playful smile. But inside the spread, the gorgeous country star reveals that despite her major success, she’s still just like ‘real people.’
As expected, the cover of Carrie Underwood‘s ‘Blown Away’ album foreshadows the mood of the project’s 14 songs (eight co-written by Underwood). It stops short of tempestuous, but she spends more time looking back at the darkness than she does forward to sunny days.
In addition to releasing her highly-anticipated studio album ‘Blown Away’ on Tuesday, Carrie Underwood announced a whopping 57 scheduled shows on her upcoming 2012 Blown Away Tour.

Carrie Underwood will release her fourth studio album ‘Blown Away‘ in three weeks (May 1). It’s the first she’s recorded since her marriage to hockey player husband Mike Fisher, but that’s not to say he’s had a heavy influence on the project.

Female artists like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert can hardly check their mailbox without someone asking when they’re planning to get pregnant. Both women seem laser-focused on their respective careers right now, but have indicated that — in time — they might work with their husbands to have children.
