What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? To be honest, I’m not sure. What I do know is that Carrie is a inspiration to me. She doesn’t know it, but she encouraged me to live a healthier lifestyle. Her music is phenomenal and she’s an incredible artist but it’s her sincerity that has secured my loyalty as a fan. She’s sincere to herself, her family, faith and her fans. In a world where there’s much uncertainty and people are easily swayed, it’s refreshing to see someone that rose to stardom and by all accounts has remained true to herself.
Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: The day I received an email announcing and confirming that I had won a meet & greet was a surreal experience. Flash forward to preparing to meet Carrie, I had a flood of thoughts I wanted to share with her. In the days leading up to meeting Carrie and then suddenly standing in line and being just a few feet from her, everything that I had wanted to share with her left my mind. I was so giddy with excitement, I swear something kidnapped my tongue and mind…all I could talk about was my love for Calia! Carrie told me she liked my sweater (it was Calia) and her trainer (Eve), Carrie, and I briefly spoke about how Dick’s doesn’t ship to Canada. Seriously?!?! That’s what I talked to Carrie about…geez! What I wanted to tell her but lost my nerve because I was fearful of crying was that I once weighed 300lbs and she has been an huge inspiration and example to me in taking better care of myself. Her self love and approach to life is infectious. If I ever get the chance to talk with Carrie again, I’d like to express my gratitude. So, until then, thank you, Carrie.
