A multi-platinum artist, five-time Grammy winner, a style icon and
versatile performer, Carrie has transcended expectations and the country
music genre like no other and her musical vital statistics are astonishing.

Her debut album went 7 times platinum and sent her on the way to becoming
America’s foremost sweetheart. 14 Number 1 singles later, she prepares to
release her fourth album, Blown Away as her first official UK release.

“I had such an amazing time making this album,” said Underwood. “We
worked really hard and the end result is a wonderful collection of diverse
material. The album sounds bigger and more epic, expanding even more than
my previous albums. I’m influenced by so many types of music, and I think
you can hear that in the songs. Even the album artwork is amplified – I
wanted a stronger and more fierce feel than what we’ve done in the past to
take things to a new level.”

From the first single on the album, the sassy, up front Good Girl, to
title track Blown Away, Underwood sounds like an artist in full control of
some of 2012’s essential chart hits. The UK version of the Blown Away
album is being released June 18, which will also feature 4 of Carrie’s
previous US Number 1 hits.

Carrie’s previous two headline arena tours, the “Carnival Ride Tour” in
2008 and 2010’s “Play On Tour,” performed for a combined total of 2.2
million fans in nearly 250 shows.

Ubiquitous in the USA as the face of Olay beauty products and
vitaminwater(R), Carrie has completed a transition from American small town
girl to an embodiment of the American dream, expanding her horizons at all
points while staying in touch with her roots.

Bringing her spectacular talent to the UK for the first time, Carrie
Underwood intends to impress. “It’s been a long time coming to head over
to London to perform for my UK fans…I’m so excited to play there in June.
It’s the home of some of my musical influences. I’m a huge fan of George
Michael, Annie Lennox, The Rolling Stones, and of course, Adele. I want
to do that tradition proud. There are so many great British artists doing
well in the US at the moment; I want to show the UK another side of
America.”
