Chanteuse
Country US née le 10 Mars 1983 à Checotah, Oklahoma.
It's true
that Carrie Underwood sprang to fame as an American Idol winner, but her career
needs to be defined in the context of country superstars instead of reality-show
contestants. Her millions of records sold, her dozens of awards from the country
music academy and the Grammys, her many record-breaking feats on the charts, and
her status as one of the most powerful people in the music business all testify
to her staying power beyond American Idol.
Underwood grew up in the small town of Checotah, Oklahoma, and began singing
with her church at the tender age of three. She performed throughout her
childhood, eventually moving on to festival gigs in several states. Along with
developing her singing, Underwood learned to play guitar and piano. She
graduated from high school as her class salutatorian and majored in mass
communication at Northeastern State College with an eye on a career in broadcast
journalism, but continued her singing career throughout her studies.
As a senior just a few credits short of her degree, Underwood heard about the
auditions for the 2005 season of American Idol. She tried out for the show at
the St. Louis, Missouri auditions, and her innocent charm and pure, pretty voice
ended up winning her not only a place among the 12 finalists, but the title of
2005's American Idol. Her debut single, "Inside Your Heaven," was released that
summer, and she finished recording her debut album after completing the American
Idols Live! tour. Some Hearts was released later that fall and became a smash
hit, selling over 300,000 copies in its first week and eventually going platinum
a whopping seven times. The album's lead single, "Jesus, Take the Wheel," was
also a big success, topping Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for six weeks.
Acclaim for the album and single spilled over into 2006, when Some Hearts re-entered
Billboard's Top Ten after Underwood's appearance on the 2006 American Idol
finale. Meanwhile, "Jesus, Take the Wheel" won Single Record of the Year at the
Academy of Country Music Awards (where she also won Top New Female vocalist); a
Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association; and Breakthrough Video and Best
Female Video at the CMT Awards, making her the only double winner at the event.
Despite her hectic career as a country music star -- which included carrying her
tour through the fall of 2006 -- Underwood found the time to finish her degree.
"Before He Cheats" was released as Underwood's third single late in 2006, and
became her third country number one and her fourth total number one hit. That
December, she won five Billboard Music Awards: Album of the Year, Top 200 Female
Artist of the Year, Female Country Artist, New Country Artist, and Country Album
of the Year.
Early in 2007, Underwood began work on her second album, while "Wasted" became
the fourth single taken from Some Hearts; she performed it on an episode of
American Idol that March, and the following month it hit number one on the Hot
Country Songs Chart. Underwood gathered more accolades by winning two awards at
the 2007 CMT Awards -- Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for "Before
He Cheats" -- and taking home two Grammys. She also took home three 2007 ACM
Awards in May, which included Album of the Year for Some Hearts and Top Female
vocalist. She made another trip to American Idol late in the month for the sixth
season finale, where she sang "I'll Stand by You" to a standing ovation. During
the show, Clive Davis recognized Underwood's sextuple-platinum sales; Underwood
was the first country artist to sell that many copies of a debut album since
LeAnn Rimes did it in 1996. She also appeared on
Brad Paisley's album 5th Gear, which was released in June 2006.
Riding on that swell of support, Underwood released her sophomore effort
Carnival Ride in October 2007. Four of the album's tracks hit the top of the
country charts, pushing the album to multi-million sales and earning her two
additional Grammy Awards. Two years after the album's release, Underwood
released her third studio effort, Play On, which found her devoting more focus
than ever to her songwriting abilities. She co-wrote seven of the album's tracks,
including the leadoff single, "Cowboy Casanova." Underwood's fourth studio
album, Blown Away, released in the spring of 2012, was produced by her longtime
collaborator Mark Bright, and driven by its hit lead single, "Good Girl," it
showed her continued growth from American Idol to savvy country-pop star.
Underwood undertook her first big starring role in 2013, when she signed on to
play Maria in a live televised production of The Sound of Music on NBC. Airing
on December 5, 2013, the broadcast was accompanied by a studio soundtrack. The
year 2014 was relatively quiet for her, although in September she released the
single "Something in the Water" and three months later the compilation Greatest
Hits: Decade #1. A heavily spiritual single with the theme of baptism, "Something
in the Water" topped the country and Christian charts, and also reached the pop
Top 40. Early in 2015, it earned her a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance.
Later that summer, Underwood announced the October release of Storyteller, her
fifth studio album, which was preceded by the single "Smoke Break."
Storyteller generated
three additional hits: the number ones "Heartbeat" and "Church Bells," plus the
number two "Dirty Laundry." Underwood departed Arista Nashville for Capitol
Records Nashville in March 2017. In January 2018, she duetted with Ludacris on
"The Champion," a single tied into the 2018 Super Bowl. It debuted at 47 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and would later feature on Cry Pretty, the album Underwood released
in September 2018.
Cry Pretty debuted at number one on both Billboard's Country Charts and the Top
200; its title track peaked at number nine on Billboard's Country Airplay chart,
with "Southbound" reaching three on the charts in 2019. Underwood released My
Gift, her first Christmas album, in September 2020. The Grammy-nominated My
Savior, her first gospel album, followed swiftly on the heels of My Gift,
appearing in March 2021; it would win the Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel
Album in 2022.
Carrie Underwood returned to secular music in 2022 with Denim & Rhinestones, an
album she co-produced with David Garcia. Preceded by the singles "Ghost Story,"
"Denim & Rhinestones," and "Crazy Angels," Denim & Rhinestones appeared in June
2022.
