audio  Carrie Underwood says that performing with The Rolling Stones was “one of the most amazing moments” of her life. (:46)
“The Rolling Stones are one of those bands that are so iconic, and everybody knows who they are, and I feel like they’ve always been in my life since birth. My dad is and was a huge fan and was always singing their songs around the house, so I know that they definitely…you know, I grew up having their music around me, all the time. So to actually be on stage with them, and you know, like, getting to, like, talk to Mick and Keith [Richards] and Ronnie [Wood] and Charlie [Watts] — you know, it was just such an amazing experience, and they were so nice and did everything they could to make me feel right at home. But it was just…it was one of the most amazing moments of my life.”

audio  Carrie Underwood was thrilled to get a pre-concert phone call from Mick Jagger. (:46)
“There is not just one moment of performing with The Rolling Stones that sticks out. I mean, the whole experience was absolutely amazing, but getting to, like…I knew Mick was gonna call me to talk about, you know, what song we were gonna sing. And for me to, like, answer the phone and you know, hear his voice on the other end of the line, and he first said, you know, the most important thing, you know, we have to figure out what we’re gonna wear, and then, you know, I guess, second, I mean, I guess we should probably figure out what we’re going to be singing. So, it was just so rock & roll and just, you know, like I said, talking to other people afterwards, I’m like, ‘Yeah, I talked to Mick on the phone, earlier today, and we decided…’ — I mean, it was just such a cool thing to be talking to Mick Jagger on the phone.”

audio  Carrie Underwood talks about what she’ll be doing around this week’s CMA Music Festival in Nashville. (:43)
“CMA Music Fest is such a crazy week, and there’s always so much stuff for fans to participate in and for artists to be able to go and do. I have my fan club party that week, which is gonna be a lot of fun. We have the exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum of my tour, which is really cool. I cannot wait to see that. Of course, I’m playin’ at LP Field on Sunday, got the CMT Awards on my husband’s birthday — on June 5th. I have my husband’s birthday, but that’s not really a fan thing, although I’m a fan of him. (laughs) There’s just…you never know, too, like, where  you’re gonna run into people. I have the Opry, as well. I have that, which, of course, celebrating my five years of being an Opry member. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.”
