Carrie Underwood Performs “America The Beautiful” at the Presidential Inaugration FLAWLESSLY.

In case you’re under a rock or something of the like, you’re aware that today is President Donald Trump’s inaguration.

Look, I’m I’m not here to get into politics. I’m not right or left. I’m just an American. So, if you’re coming here to vent your frustrations, you came to the wrong place.

I love America, flaws and all, and will always do so no matter who is voted in as the leader.

I’m an Army wife, and I take pride in our country and know how good we have it, whether or not you approve of the Coomander-in-Chief.

That being said, Carrie Underwood was tapped to perform “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony, and despite technical issues and the backing track not playing, she immediately sang it A Cappella, and absolutely NAILED it.

Not that I’m surprised. Carrie Underwood is one of the most vocally talented singers out there, and is a total pro and class act.

My favorite part?

Everyone singing along.


Right, left, or in between… you have to admit that was impressive.

Carrie Underwood got so much flack for doing this, and I loved her public statement in response:

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

YES to all of that.

America first, America always.

Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood “I’m Gonna Love You”

Country Star Cody Johnson just released a collab with vocal powerhouse Carrie Underwood, and of course, it’s lovely.

The song is called “I’m Gonna Love You”, and it’s just a pure, simple love song:


I have a feeling tha this is going to be a wedding playlist staple…

My family has a wedding venue in West Tennessee called Cogan’s Farm – http://Cogansfarm.com– so check it out!

That’s why I always have weddings on the brain.

Ok, shameless plug aside, is the song anything gorundbreaking?

No. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you have two talents like Cody and Carrie, sometimes keeping it simple and letting the vocals and emotion shine is enough.

In addition, Cody Johnson announced the deluxe version of his latest album “Leather” featuring 13 new songs on November 1st. And in case you weren’t aware, Cody Johnson live is definitely something to see- get tour dates at https://apps.codyjohnsonmusic.com/leather/ and you can catch Carrie Underwood in Vegas with her “Reflections” residency: https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/

Carrie Underwood Covers “A Little Less Talk” at Toby Keith Trubute

Last night, the “Toby Keith: American Icon” tribute aired on NBC, which, of course, honored the late, great Toby Keith who lost his battle with stomache cancer earlier this year.

Country Music’s biggest stars all came out to perform and pay tribute the Country legend, and Carrie Underwood’s version of “A Little Less Talk” and freaking slayed it.


I have to say, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I heard that that was the song Carrie was going to perform, but she nailed it. Her voice is so spectaculary spot on, and really, it sounds like it’s her own song.

Maybe she should release it as a single?

Seriously impressed by her version.

Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood “Leave a Light On”

Papa Roach has teamed up with Carrie Underwood for a stellar version of Papa Roach’s hit song “Leave a Light On (Take Away the Dark)”  to benefit organizations that support suicide prevention, such as  American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which will recieve royalties from the song, as well as 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to raise awareness for the cause.

As I’m sure you’re aware, suicide remains a serious issue in our society, and so many families are affected. As a military wife, I am all too aware of the high suicide rate among veterans. According to the VA, 22 Veterans take their life a day.

A day.

A number I still and will never be able to wrap my mind around.

Kudos to Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood for bringing awareness to such an important cause.

Check out their verison of “Leave a Ligh On” below:

So powerful. And Jacoby Shaddix and Carrie Underwood’s vocals melt together beautifully. I seriously got chills over here.

Just a strong reminder to so many that you are not alone, and there will always be a light on somewhere for you.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or go to 988lifeline.org.

Carrie Underwood Covers the Heck Out of “Don’t Stop Believin'”

Carrie Underwood brought down the house over the weekend in Honolulu! She’s getting a lot of attention for her cover of the massive Journey hit “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which is incredibly hard to pull off, because, well, Steve Perry. He’s easily one of the best vocalists to ever vocal.  Carrie and her golden pipes did one heck of a job, though! Enjoy:

Damnnnnn…

I’ll be completely honest, I don’t love all of Carrie’s music that she puts out- I firmly believe that her ealry releases were her best- but when it comes to pure vocal talent, well, it’s hard to beat those pipes.

The mark of true talent is how they perform live. Carrie effortlessly knocks out those high notes without any trouble at ALL.

I used to sing in an 80’s Cover Band, and had the blind ambition to sing “Don’t Stop Believin'”.

It was maybe OK at best. My talent level is just a tiny portion of what Carrie’s is. Which is why she does what she does, and why I talk about it.

BUT… I can do splits while singing “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and not miss a beat.

Carrie, can you do that?

@meganontheradio #tbt to when I was in a band and I got to sing at bars and act like a middle-aged Coyote Ugly chick. Good times. #rock #defleppard #dance #splits ♬ original sound – Megan Vaughan

I’m such a class act.

Anyhow, for some more REAL talent, how about the OG “Don’t Stop Believing”?

There is a reason that it is the “Most Popular Song in History” according to Forbes:

Carrie Underwood Pays Tribute to Toby Keith With “Should Have Been a Cowboy”

Carrie Underwood is always pretty much flawless.

She continued her long streak of stellar vocal performances last night at The Grand Ole Opry with a tribute to the late, great Toby Keith with a pitch-perfect rendition of “Should Have Been a Cowboy”:


I love how Carrie can be pure Country one minute, Gospel the next, and then rip a Guns N’ Roses song to shreds.

Also, her legs are basically National Treasures.

I’m pretty sure Toby Keith would be proud!

Let’s be real, it’s a world better than Brooks and Dunn’s tribute at the CMT Awards last weekend:

Now, I LOVE me some B&D, but something was definitely off there. Sammy Hagar honestly had the best tribute that night, and he’s not even a little bit Country.

Hey, we all have our bad nights, right?

But yeah, Carrie Underwood, though.

Kind of rude that she gets that voice AND those legs, though.

I kid.

Mostly.

Carrie Underwood Pays Tribute to George Michael

Carrie Underwood never fails at a live performance.

Especially when it’s honoring one of her heroes, the late George Michael.

On Friday night, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was held, and George Michael was recieving a posthumous honor of being one of this year’s inductees. Carrie Underwood has always been a fan, and had in several interviews mentioned that George was her dream collab.  So, in a way, that dream got realized Friday night when Carrie honored him with a version of his song “One More Try”, and she just nailed it, as always.


Dayummmm, girl…

Such an incredible talent.

Also, I need her leg workout routine. I really need to start hitting the gym again…

A few other notable performances from Friday night’s ceremoney:

Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton:

Sheryl Crow and Olivia Rodrigo:

Missy Elliot!!!


Those are just a few of the performances, and I can’t wait to see them on the actual broadcast! That will be airing on Jan 1st on ABC.

Carrie Underwood ROCKS!

There really is no end to Carrie Underwood’s talents.

She got to open up for Guns N’ Roses over the weekend in Canada over the past weekend, and naturally, she added some Rock covers into her setlist and she pretty much killed it on everything from Motorhead to Led Zeppelin.

Check it out!

Motorhead: “Ace of Spades”

Led Zeppelin “Rock and Roll”

Joan Jett “Bad Reputation”

Pat Benetar “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”

Rolling Stones “Wild Horses”

Not too shabby, right?

It’s just fun to see this side of Carrie- who usually gives major Country Barbie Vibes- and see her let loose and get her rock on.  She can totally handle it vocally and performance wise.

As a Rock and Country fan, color me impressed!

Honestly, I prefer this side of Carrie, as opposed to a lot of her Country music of late.

Can we get a Rock album next?

I’d so be down.

Or at least a Carrie/Axl collab on a song.

Come on, universe. Make it happen!

Are These The Best Female Country Singers of All Time?

A new study by Studyfinds.com shows the “Best Female Country Singers of All Time”, and I’m really not gonna argue this one.

 

The List: Best Female Country Singers of All Time, Per Critics and Fans

 

1. Dolly Parton
The top spot on the list goes to perhaps the most influential country singer ever, Dolly Parton. This famous blondie appeared in the top spot across 70 percent of the sites referenced. Dolly isn’t just known for having one of the best amusement parks in the South, but her iconic status as one of the best in country will last long after she’s gone.

2. Loretta Lynn
The Coal Miner’s Daughter was the clear choice for second. Simply put, Loretta Lynn is a country music icon.

3. Reba McEntire
The red-headed country legend appeared on 70 percent of the sites we referenced and for good reason. Reba is recognizable by her first name alone, and that notoriety even helped her land her own TV show. Through it all, Reba has remained true to her country music roots.

4. Patsy Cline
Patsy Cline is responsible for some of the most iconic country music songs of all time and is beyond deserving of her place as one of the best.

Cline recorded these hits before she was lost in a tragic plane crash.

5. Carrie Underwood 
The former ‘American Idol’ winner is one of the most decorated female singers of all time. “… Underwood has maintained her chart-topping success. Her career has gone on for nearly two decades, earning her over a hundred awards from various organizations, which has given Underwood the outstanding title of the most awarded country singer of all time.”

Check the full article here

Honorable Mention: Miranda Lambert.  I just think they should have put her somewhere in there because, well, she’s a badass!

Axl Rose and Carrie Underwood Rocking Out!

I’m really envious of Carrie Underwood.

Not just those pipes and those legs, but getting to perform with Axl Rose (One of my Rock Idols) several times recently? I mean, DAMN, girl.

#RESPECT

I love that Carrie has this side of her. I always wrote her off as a prissy girly-girl, but damn can she rock.  Turns out she’s a big fan of Classic Rock and metal, and she can certainly deliver the goods.

It’s really cool to see the “other” side of Carrie.  This combined with her love of fitness and red wine, well, hot damn, maybe we can be friends after all!  She’s been gaining some serious cool points with me lately.

 

Oooohhhh… maybe a Rock album is in her future?

I would support the fire out of that.
