Oh my gosh! I remember this like it was yesterday…but it was really over 10 years ago…

Carrie Underwood is one of the biggest stars in country music today, but it wasn’t that long ago that the cute blonde was looking for her break in country music like everyone else…

Carrie paced and her mom was obviously nervous when Carrie, unknown at the time, auditioned for American Idol in the summer of 2004.

Now, 10 years later she has six Grammy’s, 19 #1 singles, four studio albums, one Greatest Hits album, and is a proud new mama. Here’s to another great decade and new music in 2015!
