Underwood is a five-time Grammy Award winner, a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the 2009
Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year and three-time CMA and ACM Female
Vocalist winner. Carrie Underwood has amassed more than 11 million in U.S. album sales
since her debut CD in 2005, more than any other American Idol winner. Along the way, she
has consistently broken new ground and became the first country artist in history to achieve
eleven consecutive #1 singles.

“I am really excited about being invited to Stadium of Fire’s 30th anniversary celebration!
Our country has a lot to celebrate this Independence Day, and I want to do my part to make it
unforgettable,” said Carrie Underwood.

“We’re sure that this year’s Stadium of Fire will be seen by the biggest audience in our
history, so we’re working hard to make it the most memorable,” said Carl Bacon, America’s
Freedom Foundation trustee and senior executive producer of the event. “Carrie is a big part
of that.”

In recognition of the 30th anniversary of Stadium of Fire in 2010, tickets will be available this
year for as low as $30. Traditional elements of Stadium of Fire will continue and expand,
including the spectacle of the Stadium of Fire dancers, a military flyover as only Stadium of
Fire does them, and the largest Stadium fireworks show in America. There will also be a
special feature celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.

For an unprecedented eighth consecutive year, the Pentagon has invited Stadium of Fire to
televise the celebration to US military men and women and their families in more than 100
countries around the world.

“We have so many spectacular surprises planned for the 2010 Stadium Fire,” said Brett
Walker, this year’s Freedom Festival president. “We’ve worked diligently to make it the
greatest Independence Day celebration in the country and we’re confident it will be the most
outstanding show Utahns and our guests from around the nation and world have seen in
years.”

For the sixth consecutive year, the event will be created, produced and directed by the award-
winning production team of Wayne Baruch and Chuck Gayton. “Each year they have set a
higher standard of quality and excitement,” said Bacon.

Tickets for Stadium of Fire will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 5th at
5:00pm and will be sold simultaneously online at www.byutickets.com and at the BYU
Marriott Center ticket office in Provo. Members of the Freedom Festival’s email list will have
the option to purchase tickets before the general public, so fans are encouraged to visit
www.freedomfestival.org to sign up for advance ticket opportunities.

The Stadium of Fire event, now in its 30th year, is the initial creation of Alan Osmond, the
original lead singer of The Osmonds. Over the years it has grown to become one of the United
States’ premier patriotic celebrations, attracting an average attendance of 50,000 people.

Stadium of Fire is presented by America’s Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit, non-partisan
organization supporting educational programs and events that promote freedom and
democracy.

NASHVILLE – (February 24, 2010) – Carrie Underwood’s appearance in a special one-off guest star role on the CBS Emmy-nominated show How I Met Your Mother will air on Monday, March 1. Underwood will appear as a new character, Tiffany, an enigmatic pharmaceutical sales rep and love interest for Ted, played by Josh Radnor. How I Met Your Mother airs on CBS Television, Mondays, 8:00-8:30pm ET / PT.

How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted and how he fell in love. It all started when Ted’s best friend, Marshall, dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily, a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney, a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin, he’s sure it’s love at first sight, but destiny has something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future and stars Josh Radnor (Ted), Jason Segel (Marshall), Alyson Hannigan (Lily), Neil Patrick Harris (Barney) and Cobie Smulders (Robin). How I Met Your Mother is executively produced by Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, Pamela Fryman and Chris Harris.

E! News airs 6pm & 10:30pm and repeats tomorrow 2:30am & 11am.
