American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, has released her newest album, Play On, and from what I’ve heard of it, I would predict that it’s going to make her fans happy and will probably attract some new ones. 
I really like “Cowboy Casanova” but I adore “Mama’s Song” and “Temporary Home.”  I’m so excited for Carrie since it seems like she’s found yet another layer of her talent which almost seems impossible considering how amazing she already was.
Have you heard the album?  If so, tell me what you thought!
Here’s the track listing:

Cowboy Casanova
Quitter 
Mama’s Song

If you’re interested, Billboard.com has a preview of “Temporary Home” which is a track from Carrie Underwood’s upcoming album Play On which will be released on November 3, 2009.

I have to say that, from what I’ve heard, I absolutely adore this song!  She sounds so beautiful and I really like the vulnerability she shows when she’s singing in the upper register.  I am really looking forward to hearing this whole alum.

If you’ve been hoping to hear a little more from Carrie Underwood’s upcoming album Play On you’re in luck!

Billboard has put up a teaser of “Mama’s Song,” a track that was co-written by Carrie and American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi.  You can check out the clip HERE but come back and let me know what you thought of it.
Of course, Carrie’s voice is amazing and I can really feel the emotion behind the words.  I’m not completely sold on the actual song but I think I need to hear all of it before I form a real opinion.

Country cutie, Carrie Underwood, was spotted looking adorable in pink (magenta?) with her pup at Los Angeles International Airport.  I wish that I could look that good after traveling!  Looks like the pooch was unfazed by the flight as well!

Next month, Carrie Underwood will be making an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, where she’ll be turning everything from a country barnyard atmosphere, to something pink in support of breast cancer recognition.
This will take place during her performance at the Opry on  Friday, October 2nd.  Gracing the stage, Carrie will flip a switch, turning the whole stage pink and will be supporting the Women Rock for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charities.
Carrie will be joined by Terri Clark among other performers. What can you do to help? Order tickets! When you order the …read more

Carrie Underwood’s upcoming album Play On comes out on November 3, 2009 but her first single “Cowboy Casanova” has hit the internet and I’d love to hear what you have to say about it.

First of all, can I just say how pretty Carrie looks in the cover art?  She’s beautiful and I love how understated she is with the cute little flower in her hair.  Very nice!  Do you like it?
So I didn’t really know what to expect from “Cowboy Casanova” even though the title should have clued me in.  She definitely is out to warn her fellow women again …read more

I read on The Insider that American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood has decided to take part in a public service announcement honoring teachers.  It makes sense if you know anything about Carrie’s family – her two sisters are teachers and so was her mom (click here to read their stories)! 
“Teaching was something that ran in my family," says Carrie. "I have always admired my mother and sisters for making a difference in the lives of so many.”
The Teacher’s Count "Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher" campaign is incredibly effective.  How many times have we all heard …read more

Nothing is worse than breaking up with someone in the public eye and then having them make derogatory comments about the time you spent together.  Fortunately, Carrie Underwood doesn’t have to worry about that (at least yet).  Former flame and Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford, only had nice things to say.

Chace told People magazine the following: "I have nothing bad to say about that experience. It was awesome.  I just didn’t know how to deal with it. I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight. It was such a whirlwind, but no regrets."
The couple …read more
