NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 18, 2016) – Fresh off of last week’s dual #1 party celebrating her 23^rd and 24^th chart-topping singles, seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner Carrie Underwood will release her new single, “Dirty Laundry,” to country radio on August 22. It is the fourth single from her gold-certified, fifth studio album, Storyteller, which has produced three consecutive #1 singles, “Smoke Break,” “Heartbeat” and “Church Bells.” Dubbed “deliciously dark” by the Boston Globe, and “elegantly structured and technically impressive” by The New York Times, “Dirty Laundry” is produced by Jay Joyce and written by Zach Crowell, Ashley Gorley and Hillary Lindsey.

“I love the relaxed groove of the song combined with the vengeful storyline,” says Underwood. “That combination of strong, empowering lyrics set against the cool, laid-back sound, puts a new spin on the subject matter that feels really fresh and cool.”

Already a fan favorite on the road, Carrie’s Storyteller Tour launches its fall leg August 31^st in Anchorage, Alaska, and will run through November. In December, Carrie will play shows in New Zealand and Australia as part of Keith Urban’s “ripCORD World Tour 2016.” For a full list of upcoming tour dates, visit www.carrieunderwood.fm.

** Thanksgiving Night Game

Nashville, TN, July 18, 2016 – Seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner Carrie Underwood scores her 24^th #1 single of her career with “Church Bells,” the third consecutive chart-topping single from her current album, Storyteller.  Landing the #1 slot on both the Billboard and Mediabase country airplay charts, the song also spent two weeks at #1 on Canada’s Mediabase country airplay chart and three weeks at #1 on Australia’s country airplay chart.

Produced by Mark Bright and written by Zach Crowell, Brett James, and Hillary Lindsey, “Church Bells” was singled out by Entertainment Weekly as a “twangy roof-raiser.” In fact, Underwood virtually brought the house down when she performed the prime-time television debut of “Church Bells” at the 51^st Annual ACM Awards on CBS in April which drew a standing ovation from the audience at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. “Nothing short of spectacular” is how Rolling Stone Country recapped the ACM Awards moment.

The music video for “Church Bells,” directed by Wayne Isham and filmed during a live concert at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska, is currently #1 on GAC’s fan-voted Top 20 Country Countdown. The goal of director Isham, whose director credits include Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Metallica and Britney Spears, was to capture the country star’s energetic live performance and fans’ reactions and edit it into a 3:40 snapshot of a Carrie Underwood The Storyteller Tour – Stories In The Round experience. Watch the video here: http://smarturl.it/cuchurchbellsvevo.

Underwood begins the second leg of The Storyteller Tour on August 31^st in Anchorage, Alaska.

Look for Carrie Underwood to kick off the 2016 season of football and a brand new theme song for “Sunday Night Football” on September 11^th on NBC prior to the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals game. Titled “Oh, Sunday Night,” the new song is based on Underwood’s 2014 hit collaboration with Miranda Lambert, “Somethin’ Bad.”

And, later this fall, the country star joins Brad Paisley as co-hosts of the 50^th Annual CMA Awards on November 2^nd broadcasting live from Bridgestone Arena on ABC 8-11 pm Eastern/7-10 pm Central.
