Carrie Underwood won the hit FOX television show American Idol in 2005, and has since been America’s sweet heart and a star in country music. The country crooner was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 15, 2008, and with good reason. In 2006, her gorgeous voice gifted the country music genre with singles like “Before He Cheats”, and “Jesus, Take the Wheel” from her first album, “Some Hearts”. Only one year after her rise to stardom, Carrie was awarded two American Country Music awards; Top New Female Vocalist of the Year, and Single Record of the Year for “Jesus, Take the Wheel”. Just weeks later, the artist received two CMT awards: both for her single, “Jesus, Take the Wheel”. And on November 6, 2006, a little over a year after she won American Idol, the star took home the CMA Horizon Award, and the CMA Vocalist of the Year award: Two excellent achievements made within her first two years of stardom.
Not only has this songbird been recognized by all of country music as a great musician, but also by all of her fans. Carrie developed a large fan base while on American Idol, and these fans have stuck with her throughout her career.
Carrie’s career is still going strong. The artist recently put out a new album, “Carnival Ride”, and the singles “All American Girl” and “So Small”, have been playing on country radio ever since.
