If you look at what Carrie Underwood has achieved in her short five-year career, it's unbelievable!
The Season 4 American Idol winner is no longer known as just an American Idol winner, she is a bonafide country ICON, moving towards the upper echelon of country legend status.
Last night Underwood became the first female EVER to win back-to-back Entertainer of the Year awards at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She took home the prize last year, becoming one of only a handful of woman to ever win won, but now she has two!!
This is a BIG deal.
Underwood also earned her 12th, yes I said 12th, #1 country single this month with "Temporary Home", and she scored another #1 album.
Her debut release Some Hearts was the biggest selling country album of the DECADE, and she is the best-selling AI winner ever!
Congrats to Miz Underwood on all of her success! (And for a complete list of ACM winners click here!)

I wouldn't classify her as the best AI winner ever, but her career has been quite impressive so far. The country world has really embraced her...and as we've seen from Jessica Simpson, they can either be for you or against you. That's cool that they really like her...she's not as mainstream as you would think considering her album sales
ReplyDeleteHaha, you know what, I think I meant to say "best-selling" AI winner ever, not just the 'best'.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the country world has definitely opened its arms to Carrie 100%. I feel like once they let you in, you're set for life haha.
