Carrie Underwood is by far one of my favorite artists ever. I love everything about her, her voice, her style, her story, the way she carries herself, and most of all her humbleness. I can listen to her albums over and over and never get bored. When I listen to her music it allows me to block out all the stress, worries, and problems. I guess you can say it\u2019s kind of like my happy place. There\u2019s a Carrie Underwood song for every occasion. I listen to her music when I\u2019m doing laundry, studying, grocery shopping, and even for some of the tougher times in my life, like when my parents got a divorce. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite Carrie Underwood songs along with the cover art of the album.<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 485px\" width=\"412\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 155px\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1885 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/06\/carrie-underwood-some-hearts-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"carrie-underwood-some-hearts\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/06\/carrie-underwood-some-hearts-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/06\/carrie-underwood-some-hearts.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td>\n<td>1. &#8220;Some Hearts\u201d (2005)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2. &#8220;Starts With Goodbye\u201d (2005)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3. &#8220;Lessons Learned\u201d (2005)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 155px\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1894 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/220px-Playon-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"220px-Playon\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/220px-Playon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/220px-Playon.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td>\n<td>4. &#8220;Change\u201d (2009)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5. &#8220;Mama\u2019s Song\u201d (2009)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6. &#8220;Temporary Home\u201d (2009)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 155px\" rowspan=\"4\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1896\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/Carnival_Ride_-_Album-150x150.png\" alt=\"Carnival_Ride_-_Album\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/Carnival_Ride_-_Album-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sites.dwrl.utexas.edu\/countrymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2014\/10\/Carnival_Ride_-_Album.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td>\n<td>7. &#8220;So Small\u201d (2007)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8. &#8220;All American Girl\u201d (2007)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9. &#8220;I Told You So\u201d (2007)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10. &#8220;Something in the Water&#8221; (2014)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The songs above are only some of my favorites because the list could go on forever. I would love to one day meet Carrie Underwood and just tell her how much I love her and how fabulous I think she is. Her voice is just crazy amazing. When I\u2019m at home I turn the music up really loud and pretend I\u2019m at her concert. It is definitely on my bucket list to attend at least one Carrie Underwood concert. It would be so amazing to see her live. She did perform at the Thanksgiving game halftime show in Dallas one year but unfortunately I was unable to go. Oh, but believe me I was the first person in front of the TV when the half time show began.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">My sister seems to think I have an obsession with Carrie Underwood, but truth is I just love her and how she doesn\u2019t take anything she had achieved for granted. I see a little of myself in her. I just think it\u2019s awesome how she grew up on a farm, put her dream of singing aside to go to school, and then ultimately in the end made her dream come true. I guess you could say Carrie Underwood is one of my idols. Who is your favorite artist? Do you have a country music idol?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From her audition on American Idol to her first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, I have been a huge fan every step of the way.
