Country music darling and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood was born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma. Carrie was born in 1983 on March 10th. Carrie Marie Underwood was destined to become a country music star.
Along with being a member of her local church, First Free Will Baptist, Carrie is also a member of the choir. Carrie had a very active singing 'career' in her youth. From church to talent shows, or from Lion's Club events to the choir, Carrie was practically singing all the time.
Carrie attended many other shows in various states, such as Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. Carrie has done openings for Gene Watson, Diamond Rio and Earl Thomas Conley. As you can clearly see, she was most definitely paving her way to stardom.

Simon Cowell, American Idol's harshest judge, was blown away by Carrie Underwood's performances. So much so that he predicted she would be the most successful American Idol ever. And of course, Simon is never wrong. Indeed, Carrie has sold more albums than any other Idol winner.

People just love her, especially the younger generation of girls. They can look up to her all the while she maintains a modern day style. One reason Carrie is has been so well received is because of her wholesome image. Not to mention, her songs and style gives a little edge to her country music genre.
Carrie's debut album, Some Hearts, hit number 1 on charts in Canada and the U.S. and Her second album, Carnival Ride has sold over 2 million copies in the U.S. and already has one number 1 hit.
