If you’re a football fan like me you’re going to immediately recognize Carrie Underwood– she’s been the voice of the NFL’s flagship program Sunday Night Football for over a decade now, with her iconic opening line “I’ve been waiting all day for Sunday night” leading viewers into the league’s biggest game of the week. Bursting onto the scene as the winner of American Idol in 2005, Underwood impressed with her vocal range, power, and emotional depth set her apart, earning her a string of chart-topping hits and Grammy Awards.
Blown Away blends traditional country elements with pop polish and comes out absolutely swinging– the first three songs on this album are absolute bangers and showcase all the elements that make Carrie such a prominent figure in country music. The album became her most successful to date, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earning her two Grammy Awards. With her stunning vocal control and a tone that can switch from delicate to electrifying, Carrie Underwood has not only defined her generation of country music but has also set a standard that few can rival.
