Carrie Marie Underwood (born March 10, 1983) is an American country singer and songwriter. At 22, Carrie, a country farm girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, auditioned for the fourth ''Series/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 (yet unlike Clarkson has completely escaped association with the Idol brand) and took the CountryMusic world by storm. She has since won multiple Grammys and set a yet-to-be-surpassed benchmark for ''Idol'' success. Her albums have consistently produced strong sales, with almost all of her singles to date having reached top 5 on the major country music charts.

She has since won multiple Grammys and set a yet-to-be-surpassed benchmark for ''Idol'' success. So far, none of her singles have peaked at lower than second on at least one major country chart, by itself an impressive streak, but the strong sales of her four albums and omnipresence in two genres are next-to-impossible to ignore.

* BrokenWinLossStreak: Between the two ''Billboard'' country singles charts[[note]]only one before late 2012[[/note]] and the ''Mediabase'' country singles charts, Carrie has had exactly one single fail to reach the top on any of them: "Mama's Song" in early 2011, which was blocked by Music/TimMcGraw's "Felt Good on My Lips" on both publications. Some of her subsequent songs have only gotten to #2 or #3 on ''Billboard'' while topping ''Mediabase''... until "Cry Pretty" stalled at #5 on Hot Country Songs and #9 on Country Airplay.

* ShowSomeLeg: In May of 2010, Victoria Secret labeled hers as the "Sexiest Legs in Hollywood". Apparently, it must have gotten to her head as she not only works hard to keep them in shape, but she seems to feel the need to them off be it in a dress at the Country Music Award or shorts in a concert, or even in the music video of "Remind Me" with a great many close-ups on them.

* UnreliableNarrator: "Blown Away" paints the father as an abusive bastard who deserved to die in the tornado, but there's nothing in the song's music video to back this up. If anything, the music video makes the father more sympathetic than the daughter.
