Superstar Carrie Underwood received a bit of an early birthday present this past Thursday night, when the March 10th birthday girl was presented with a double-Platinum plaque in honor of two million sales for her smash album, Play On. The album launched four blockbuster hits, including “Cowboy Casanova,” “Undo It,” “Temporary Home,” and “Mama’s Song.” Carrie received the award following a performance for an invitation-only crowd of radio and industry VIPs during Nashville’s Country Radio Seminar.
Carrie’s performance that night drew an audience-wide standing ovation, as she closed with a jaw-dropping medley of “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “How Great Thou Art,” delivering the kind of soaring, “wow” moment that shows why Carrie’s amazing vocals have earned her five GRAMMY® Awards and made her a three-time ACM and CMA Female Vocalist winner.
