What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? To be honest, I’m not sure. What I do know is that Carrie is a inspiration to me. She doesn’t know it, but she encouraged me to live a healthier lifestyle. Her music is phenomenal and she’s an incredible artist but it’s her sincerity that has secured my loyalty as a fan. She’s sincere to herself, her family, faith and her fans. In a world where there’s much uncertainty and people are easily swayed, it’s refreshing to see someone that rose to stardom and by all accounts has remained true to herself.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: The day I received an email announcing and confirming that I had won a meet & greet was a surreal experience. Flash forward to preparing to meet Carrie, I had a flood of thoughts I wanted to share with her. In the days leading up to meeting Carrie and then suddenly standing in line and being just a few feet from her, everything that I had wanted to share with her left my mind. I was so giddy with excitement, I swear something kidnapped my tongue and mind…all I could talk about was my love for Calia! Carrie told me she liked my sweater (it was Calia) and her trainer (Eve), Carrie, and I briefly spoke about how Dick’s doesn’t ship to Canada. Seriously?!?! That’s what I talked to Carrie about…geez! What I wanted to tell her but lost my nerve because I was fearful of crying was that I once weighed 300lbs and she has been an huge inspiration and example to me in taking better care of myself. Her self love and approach to life is infectious. If I ever get the chance to talk with Carrie again, I’d like to express my gratitude. So, until then, thank you, Carrie.

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? Nashville so far! First time I’ve booked a flight to get to one of her shows but so worth it!

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? That’s hard to say cause Carrie has the best fans but I feel my dedication to go to her shows is my big deal! I’m so inspired by her music and literally get so lost in it and moved that it helps me through any bad day and lifts my spirits. I’ll go near and far just to listen to her live because there’s nothing like it. Her voice is so powerful you can’t help but be in awe and drawn in. It never gets old seeing her perform and as long as she she’s out touring I’ll always make it a point to be there for every tour.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: Getting invited to last years Fan Club Party was a dream come true and something I thought I’d never be able to do! But to actually get there and be a part of it and find out I was gonna get to meet her personally was so incredible!! I’d never been so nervous in my life when I stood beside her and she was so nice and everything I expected she would be! Such a genuine and class act. Proud to be a fan hers!

Multi-platinum-selling global superstar Carrie Underwood has spent the last month sharing her critically-acclaimed album Cry Pretty with the world. From coast-to-coast U.S. promotion including an emotional profile with CBS Sunday Morning, impromptu karaoke with Jimmy Fallon and The Ellen Show, Underwood has also traveled to the Netherlands, Germany and Australia.

In the Netherlands, she promoted the album in Amsterdam, as well as, performing at the 3^rd annual Tuckerville Festival in Enschede, which was attended by fans from all over Europe. The trip to Holland was followed by a round of promotion in Berlin, Germany before U.S. appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Ellen Show, as well as, stellar album reviews fromRolling Stone, NPR and Consequence of Sound.  Additionally, Carrie introduced a new song and show open for her sixth season as the voice of Sunday Night Football, primetime television’s No.1 weekly program.

Before heading to Australia for more international promotion, Underwood was joined by family and friends for her star ceremony and induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as, a performance at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas, NV.

In Australia, she performed in front of a live audience on The AFL Footy Show’s Grand Final Edition from Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and headlined the iconic Deni Ute Muster’s 20^thAnniversary Festival in Deniliquin, New South Wales, for a crowd of nearly 18,000 people.  In addition to appearances on ABC News Breakfast and her third on Australia’s nightly news and entertainment program, The Project, she performed an outdoor concert live from Melbourne’s Federation Square on Sunrise, the No. 1 breakfast show, as part of their annual Grand Final Brekky Party, leading up to the country-wide AFL Grand Final weekend celebrations.

The UK’s Music Week says, “While it is with a reasonable degree of certainty that artists will typically herald their latest album as their most personal to date, in Underwood’s case that claim has authenticity…Underwood’s career stands as an exemplar of how to do everything right.”

In the coming weeks Underwood will have several performances including the 2018 American Music Awards airing on ABC, where she is also nominated as Favorite Female Artist – Country. Her performance on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! will air on October 9 following the AMA broadcast.  She is also being honored and will perform live at the 2018 CMT Artists of the Year special on October 17, which is dedicated to the women of Country music – past, present and future.  The following week she will join with the Grand Ole Opry in the fight against breast cancer on October 26, performing two shows for the special 10^th Annual “Opry Goes Pink.”  On November 14, she and Brad Paisley will co-host the CMA Awards for the 11th consecutive year.  Later that week, she will be inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Cry Pretty debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Album Charts, making Underwood the only woman in history to land four country albums at the top of the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, as well as the first female country act to top the Billboard Artist 100 Chart. The critically-acclaimed album is the best-selling Country album debut of 2018. Cry Pretty’s debut week also marks the most first week streams by any female in Country music. This is Underwood’s seventh consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, representing all of her first seven albums including her Greatest Hits: Decade #1.

The album is Underwood’s first release on Capitol Records Nashville and her first time co-producing alongside David Garcia.  She co-wrote nine of the songs on the album including her current single, “Love Wins,” with David Garcia and Brett James.  She recently released the official music video for “Love Wins,” which was directed by Shane Drake.

As previously announced, Underwood will launch a new arena tour,The Cry Pretty Tour 360 in Spring 2019.  Sponsored by CALIA, the new tour will kick off on May 1 in Greensboro, NC, and will play 55 arenas across the U.S. and Canada and be promoted by AEG Presents.  She will be joined on tour by special guests Maddie & Tae and Runaway June
