One of Carrie Underwood‘s first stops after winning American Idol 10 years ago was the CMA Music Fest–and this week the singer got together with her fans backstage at the Grand Ole Opry House to mark the 10th anniversary of her fan club. Of course, since that very first trip to CMA fest, Carrie has released 5 albums, a Greatest Hits Collection, racked up 23 number-one songs, along with other fan favorites, including her current hit “Church Bells.”

  Carrie Underwood talks about the CMA Music Festival. (:16)
“Coming here, my very first CMA Music Fest right after Idol, that’s a moment I will never forget. It’s just…it’s amazing that country music does something like that, you know, for the fans. And the fans come to support their favorite country music people, doing a lot of autograph signing and things like that.”
