In the seven years since Carrie Underwood took home the crown on ‘American Idol,’ she has made platinum albums, racked up tons of No. 1 hits and gained hundreds of thousands of new fans.

Taste of Country offers once in a life time opportunity to country music fans- see and meet with one of country music’s biggest stars- Carrie Underwood!
Carrie Underwood opened the 2012 ACM Awards tonight (April 1) by performing her brand new single ‘Good Girl’ for the first time live on TV. What a way to start the show and what a way for the singer to debut her latest hit, which will appear on her forthcoming album ‘Blown Away,’ due one month from today. The singer set the tone for the evening with her fierce performance.
If anyone understands what it’s like to be under the intense heat of the ‘American Idol‘ spotlights and the critical eye of the show’s judges, it’s Carrie Underwood. The Season 4 ‘Idol’ winner apparently hasn’t forgotten the pressure that comes from taking that stage under the scrutiny of fans and judges alike, and she took the time to reach out to 18-year-old British-born Hollie Cavanagh, the tiny talent with a huge voice who’s currently vying to be the next American Idol.
‘American Idol‘ contestant Hollie Cavanagh isn’t one of the country singers in the bunch; but given the choice to sing a song from her real-life idol, small-statured, giant-voiced Cavanagh went for a Carrie Underwood hit.
Carrie Underwood and her husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, are revered by teens across the country for their success in their respective careers.

(Do It For Daron), which works to raise awareness and get people talking about teen mental health, Underwood and Fisher appeared in a PSA reminding teens that they are highly valued and that they have hope.

Celebrity scents are all the rage, with many starlets slapping their name on bottles of perfume, appearing in print ads and hawking them mercilessly. Some are even intrinsically involved in the creation process and work in the labs when choosing accords and notes. It’s certainly another way to brand oneself in addition to being an incredibly profitable revenue stream. Taylor Swift has done it, but don’t expect Carrie Underwood to hop on that bandwagon anytime soon. The ‘Good Girl’ singer has turned her nose up at the notion of creating a scent — and with good reason.
She was one of the last holdouts on the 140-character social networking site, but even though Carrie Underwood finally joined Twitter about a month ago, she admits she’s still a little hesitant about it. From the moment she first tweeted “Hello Twitter World!” on Feb. 24, Underwood has used the site primarily to talk about the progress of her upcoming album ‘Blown Away,’ her most recent single ‘Good Girl,’ her surprise ’80s birthday party and the occasional post featuring her dogs or hockey playing husband Mike Fisher. But the songstress says the Twitterverse is not a place where she’s going to get too personal.
Carrie Underwood has subscribed to a vegetarian lifestyle for seven years, due to the increased health benefits of a meat-free diet. The ‘Good Girl’ singer has revealed that she is taking things a step further and is about “95 percent vegan” at this point. That means she is attempting to develop a diet completely devoid of any animal products, which includes dairy, honey and more.
Carrie Underwood has never declared her political allegiances, but someone in politics is certainly claiming her… along with a handful of other country artists.
