What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I’ve always adored Carrie and her music like others have since her Idol days but I think for me personally my biggest Carrie inspiration comes from her health and fitness. I’ve always struggled feeling confident and there is something about Carrie that makes me feel so empowered – whether I’m listening to her music during a workout, or rocking some CALIA, it motivates me to be the best I can be.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: In June 2017, my friend Nicole and I had the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia and see Carrie’s show. We had gotten there early in the morning, made these cute Carrie inspired jean jackets, met other fans from all over the US and had a blast singing our hearts out. Carrie surprised about 15-20 of us that were there early in the morning by coming out after her soundcheck. If that wasn’t amazing enough, a few hours later Nicole & I were surprised with official M&Gs. What made this extra special for me is that Nicole & I met through Carrie’s FC and being able to experience my first M&G with her was absolutely perfect. I am so grateful for Carrie, her music, and the friends she has brought into my life.
