Carrie Underwood is very happy to be celebrating her fifth anniversary this Friday as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. (:33)
“There is so much I love about the Opry, and I can’t believe it’s been five years already. It’s certainly flown by. I love the whole concept of the Opry. I love that it is a part of country music history, country music present, and country music future. It’s the heart and soul, the center, of country music. And while the members…you know, there’s people that have been around for forever, there’s people like me, who are just babies in the family, but it is a family, and that’s a really cool thing to be a part of.”
Carrie Underwood says that playing LP Field during the CMA Music Festival is always a great experience. (:37)
“Music Fest — there’s so much about it that’s awesome. Being on stage in front of 75,000 people, it’s hot, there’s lights…I mean it’s just kind of one of those…and it’s not a full show either, so (laughs) you get to get up there and kind of give the best of the best and rock out and have fun, and people go and see an amazing show. There’s people out there that are there to see someone else, but hopefully will be excited when we take the stage, too, and vice versa — you know, people there to see me that are excited to see other people, and it’s kind of everybody’s fans just gettin’ together and just livin’ it up in the stadium. It’s cool.”
Carrie Underwood talks about her Blown Away Tour exhibit, which opened today at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. (:33)
“I’m really thrilled that they wanted to do one over this tour, ’cause this tour…I mean, you always hope you get bigger and better, and you know, do things like you’ve never done them before, but that’s exactly what the Blown Away Tour is for me. I’m so proud of it, and I’m so proud of everything about it: the stage, the costumes. If I could stick my band in a box and put ’em in the exhibit, I would do that ’cause they’re awesome, too. But it’s just really…it’s really amazing that they wanted to do that for this tour, and it’s been fun thinking of ideas to be able to put in there.”
