Happy 26th Birthday to Carrie Underwood!

Today, American Idol season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood, celebrates her 26th birthday.  I think she was just 21 when she auditioned for the show and so much has happened in her life since then.  I hope 2009 is a great year for her and that she gets all that she has hoped for!  Happy birthday, Carrie!

The country music superstar also covered Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home,” which will serve as the “goodbye” song on this season of American Idol.
