            <lead>&lt;center&gt;&lt;i&gt;Promotional Plans to Launch in February&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/center&gt;   
   
Nashville, TN-  (February 2, 2012) &#8211; In anticipation of what is expected to be one of this year&#8217;s hottest album releases, it was announced today that Carrie Underwood&#8217;s new CD will be released on Tuesday, May 1.  Produced by Mark Bright, the forthcoming album was featured in Entertainment Weekly&#8217;s recent &#8220;10 albums we can&#8217;t wait for.&#8221; This will be the fourth studio album on 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville for the five-time Grammy winner.  The debut single co-written by Underwood, &#8220;Good Girl,&#8221; will be released to country radio on February 23.   </lead>
            <story>Underwood&#8217;s February schedule is already gearing up with numerous appearances, performances, and events.  Among those are &#8220;CMT Crossroads&#8221; with Aerosmith rock legend Steven Tyler (with initial airings on CMT Sat. Feb.4, 11pm ET and Sun. Feb 5th, 2am ET and 10am ET), an appearance at the 54th Grammy Awards, Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, a performance at the Nordstrom Nashville Symphony Fashion Show, and the digital release of her new single, &#8220;Good Girl.&#8221;   
    
Since releasing Some Hearts in 2005, Underwood has sold more than 14 million albums with Some Hearts, 2007&#8217;s Carnival Ride, and 2009&#8217;s Play On.  She&#8217;s amassed 14 No. 1 singles, six of which she co-wrote, and became the first country artist in history and the only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 No. 1 singles from their first two albums.  Underwood is a current Grammy Award nominee and a five-time Grammy Award winner, a two-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, a three-time Country Music Association and ACM Female Vocalist winner, and a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry.     </story>

            <headline>CARRIE UNDERWOOD GRANTS WISHES FOR HER HOMETOWN SCHOOLS WITH DONATION THROUGH HER C.A.T.S. FOUNDATION</headline>
            <dateline type="date">2012-01-04</dateline>
            <lead>Nashville (January 4, 2012) -- Carrie Underwood made wishes come true this holiday season for the schools in her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma with donations amounting to $350,000 through her C.A.T.S. Foundation - Checotah Animal, Town, and School Foundation. Each of the four schools - Marshall Elementary, Checotah Intermediate School, Checotah Middle School, and Checotah High School - learned just in time for Christmas that they would receive the necessary funds from C.A.T.S. to fulfill various school needs. The donations will go towards items such as new computer labs for each school, plus playground equipment, physical fitness equipment, as well as new band uniforms, furniture, storage, instruments for their music programs, among other items.</lead>
            <story>&#8220;Late last year each of the schools created a list of their needs and I am so thrilled that the C.A.T.S. Foundation was able to fund it all,&#8221; said Underwood. &#8220;It gives me great joy knowing we are helping my hometown schools to offer an even better education to the students. They deserve it.&#8221;

&#8220;We are so proud of Carrie and her accomplishments and we appreciate everything she has done for our students. Every student in our school will benefit from the C.A.T.S. Foundation&#8217;s generous donation,&#8221; shared Toni Brown, Assistant Superintendent of Checotah Public Schools.

In addition, this past October, Underwood&#8217;s C.A.T.S. Foundation partnered with national non-profit organization KaBOOM!, and with the help of over 200 local volunteers built a playground in one day at Marshall Elementary School designed by the school's students.</story>
