Playing to more than a half-million fans throughout her 62-show 2012 “Blown Away
Tour,” Underwood not only ranked as the top female country touring artist of the year according to Pollstar’s Year-End chart, she also played her first concerts in Australia and the U.K, where her concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall sold out in only 90 minutes.

Carrie’s acclaimed fourth album, Blown Away, was released in May and quickly became a fan-favorite, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard country and all-genre sales charts and
logging a total of seven weeks atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart in 2012. Nielsen SoundScan tallies show Blown Away among the year’s best-sellers, ranking as
the No. 2 country album and No. 7 album in all genres. Now certified Platinum, Blown Away has already launched back-to-back Platinum-certified Digital Singles with the chart-
topping tracks “Blown Away” and “Good Girl.”

Carrie’s singles for “Good Girl” and “Blown Away” collectively spent a total of three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard and Country Aircheck country airplay charts, more than any other female country artist in 2012.

Her success continued on the video front, as well, with “Good Girl” logging a record-setting 14 weeks at No. 1 on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown and becoming the show’s No. 1
video of the year. Similarly, Carrie’s cinematic video for “Blown Away” also became a runaway favorite, achieving an unprecedented cumulative 14 weeks at No. 1 during its 15-
week run on GAC’s fan-voted Top 20 Country Countdown.

Already a five-time GRAMMY winner, Underwood’s December GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Solo Performance for “Blown Away” (which also earned a Best Country Song nomination for writers Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins) marked another highlight in an award-filled year that saw Carrie walk away with her seventh American Music Award.
Carrie’s AMA win for Favorite Country Album is not only her fourth win in as many albums, but also the first time in AMA history that an artist has captured the Country Album category on every album released. At the American Country Awards, she extended her reign as the most-awarded artist in the show’s three-year history, now with 11 ACA wins, with a pair of 2012 honors including Artist of the Year: Female.

At the CMT Music Awards, “Good Girl” was named Video of the Year, while Carrie shared honors for Collaborative Video of the Year for “Remind Me” with Brad Paisley. At year-end, Underwood was also named among CMT’s Artists of the Year.

On the media front, Carrie was all over the TV airwaves in 2012, featured in such original programming as CMT Crossroads: Steven Tyler & Carrie Underwood, Behind the Music: Carrie Underwood, and VH1 Presents: Carrie Underwood Unplugged, as well as the ACM Awards, American Idol, the Billboard Music Awards, CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock, the CMT Music Awards, Dancing with the Stars, the Dateline 20th Anniversary Special, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, the GRAMMY Awards, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Late Show with David Letterman, and Nightline, as well as Oprah’s Next Chapter: Carrie Underwood, Today’s Summer Concert Series, Teachers Rock, and more, including returning for the fifth consecutive year as co-host of the CMA Awards.

In addition to her television appearances, Underwood also graced numerous magazine covers in 2012, some of which included Billboard, Glamour, and SELF.

“The Blown Away Tour” will re-launch with a second leg of arenas on February 13, 2013 in Colorado Springs with Hunter Hayes continuing as special guest on the majority of the US and Canada shows. The tour will travel throughout America, Canada, and across the pond to the UK and Ireland. The North American dates on “The Blown Away Tour” are presented and hydrated by vitaminwater®.

The donation of $1 from each ticket sold on the North American leg of “The Blown Away Tour” will continue in 2013 to support Red Cross disaster relief. Every year, the American Red Cross prepares for and responds to nearly 70,000 disasters across the United States. This donation will help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, and emotional support for those in need after a disaster. Proceeds from her Canadian concerts will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross. In 2012, Underwood also donated additional proceeds from her Atlantic City and Des Moines shows to local charities.

Throughout the 2012 leg of The Blown Away Tour, Underwood performed for over a half a million fans. Her two previous headline tours, 2008’s “Carnival Ride Tour” and 2010’s “Play On Tour,” performed for a combined total of nearly 250 shows with 2.2 million fans in attendance, and she also wrapped both years as the top-ranked female country touring artist.

Concert review critics praised Carrie throughout the tour’s 2012 run, “Carrie Underwood very well may be the most powerful vocalist in all of country music- not just right now, when she’s considered the reigning queen of the genre, but of the last decade or two,” shared the Orange County Register. The Fort Worth Star Telegram said, “Underwood is, without question, one of her generation’s most formidable vocalists.” Performing for a near hometown crowd in Oklahoma the Tulsa World said, “Underwood showed why she is one of popular music’s most widely celebrated and adored performers with brow-raising notes few can hit, much less consistently sustain. Each note on her range, belted high or softly sung, showed why she was the best in the country and continues to grow.”
