  Carrie Underwood recalls hearing the song “Blown Away” for the first time. (:26)
“I remember where I was the first time I heard ‘Blown Away.’ It’s one of those songs for me, and I had listened to a ton of, you know, demos and stuff like that, people pitching their songs. And this one, I got an e-mail and started listening to it on my computer speakers, and then I was like, ‘Whoa!’ So I grabbed my headphones, and I plugged my headphones in, and I started it over, and I just got chills all over my body.”
