What was the very first Carrie Underwood song you heard? Carrie singing would be I Can’t Make You Love Me, but technically her song would be Inside a your heaven when she won!

How many years have you been a Carrie Underwood fan? Since day 1 of American Idol, during her audition! So going on 13 years now

How many Carrie Underwood shows have you been to? 11!

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? A 4 hour drive and 2 states away

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? That I only go to Carrie shows with my dad! I love the fanclub friends I have made and even friends since high school who like her, but my dad and I made a pact in 2006 after seeing her Some Hearts tour that we would only go together! I begged my friends to go with me cause it was a free show at a fair in town and no one wanted too. So my dad got up at 5:30am to take me and wait in line over 13hrs! We got 9th row and agreed it was the best concert we’d ever been to and made a pact to only go to Carrie together!

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: As I mentioned early, I only go to Carrie concerts with my dad. He’s the best person I know and we have so much fun but normally he just hangs out and only sings along to her covers. Boy does he love her rock covers! But this time was different! The Storyteller Tour was by far my favorite, but not just cause of the show! I have so many videos of me sneaking them of my dad! The pyrotechnics, the harmonica, the drums! He was “Blown Away” and for the first time in 12 years I got to see him stand the entire time at her concert and go WHOA DID YOU SEE THAT, numerous times! He really is one of my best friends and I believe we are so close because of her, Carrie is something only us 2 can bond over together! TGYTIAM is my favorite Carrie song for obvious reasons and I hope I get to see it live one day!

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I wouldn’t say there is one specific thing that sets me apart from other fans but rather I just truly love being a part of this community! Of course I have every album, her Blown Away Tour DVD, The Sound of Music LIVE, and a lot of her merch, but there is just something about connecting with other fans online and in person that really speaks to the kind of artist and person Carrie is that she can bring soo many people together over a common love!

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: On April 25, 2013 I met Carrie for the first time on the Blown Away Tour, fast forward exactly 3 years to the day, on April 25, 2016 I met Carrie again on the Storyteller Tour! I told her this at the meet & greet and she said “what??! No way!!” We laughed about how crazy it was and talked a little more before taking our picture! I had floor tickets for this show and during Church Bells she saw me in the crowd and we smiled and waved at each other! Safe to say April 25th is my favorite date!

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? Nashville

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? Probably my age (64). I found her after she won American Idol and have followed her ever since. Such a great role model and singer.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: Drove from NJ to Nashville on a Monday in June 2014 to see her at the Fan Club party on Tuesday. Had the best time meeting fans, watching her perform and taking pictures up close at the Opry. Watched her again at night when she performed, then drove back to NJ the next day. So much fun.
