* DisproportionateRetribution: "Before He Cheats," in which she vandalizes her boyfriend's property after finding out that he has been cheating.
** It's especially bad because she doesn't even have any hard evidence of his infidelity.
** Even worse when you consider the lyrics say "He's ''probably''" doing something, which adds a whole new spin [[AxCrazy on the story...]]
** Heavily implied that a man's wife and mistres had him killed for lying about his infidelity in Two Black Cadillcs

* LyricsVideoMismatch: Apparently "So Small" is actually about a car wreck... which then freezes and reverses.

Carrie Marie Underwood (1983-) is an American country singer and songwriter. At 22, Carrie, a country farm girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, auditioned for the fourth ''AmericanIdol'' with "I Can't Make You Love Me". Although the judges were impressed, it wasn't until Underwood sang Heart's "Alone" that her true potential appeared. She won the final over Bo Bice and immediately proved Simon right: Like Music/KellyClarkson before her, Underwood became a star in her own right and took the CountryMusic world by storm. She has since won multiple Grammys and set a benchmark for ''Idol'' success that has yet to be surpassed. None of her singles have peaked at lower than second, which by itself is an impressive streak, but the strong sales of her three albums and omnipresence in two genres are next-to-impossible to ignore.

* DawsonCasting: Since the girl in "Blown Away" can't seem to escape her abusive father, it implies that she's still in high school and under his care. Carrie was 29 when she made the video, and while she's gorgeous and very youthful looking, it's a stretch to believe her as a teenager.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The protagonist of "Blown Away"

* BreakupSong: "Before He Cheats".

* BlackSheepHit: Inverted. "Don't Forget to Remember Me," the follow-up to "Jesus, Take the Wheel," is the least-rembembered of her hits, as well as the only single of her career not to make gold certification or higher. To be fair, it had a great deal of airplay leeched by "Before He Cheats", which was charting well before its release as a single.
** "Mama's Song" seems to be the same way: it's the least downloaded single of her career, and it broke her streak of #1 hits on the Mediabase country singles charts.[[hottip:*:(There are two country charts: one published by Billboard and one by Mediabase. Until "Mama's Song", all of her releases had gone to #1 on Mediabase, but "Don't Forget to Remember Me" and "I Told You So" only got to #2 on Billboard.)]]

* TakeThat: Called out ChrisBrown and his fans and the general music community for allowing him back after he bashed up {{Rihanna}}
---> "Chris Brown twice? I don’t get it. He beat on a girl," she tweeted, before adding "Not cool that we act like that didn’t happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys."
---> Before singing, Lambert pulled a poster out of the audience reading "Take Notes Chris Brown."
---> "Get a good picture now, put it on Twitter," she said, while holding the poster up. "I’ve --->been in a world of hurt with Chris Brown fans lately ... but see, I just have to speak my mind because where I come from beating up on a woman is never okay.”
