Carrie Underwood: Powerhouse
/Welcome back to my blog.
This week, I am so excited to be featuring Carrie Underwood. Yes, she’s country gold, but there’s so much more. She is an inspiration to other artists and women to follow your dream and believe in yourself. She got her big break in the 4th season of American Idol when she won the title, way back in 2005. Even back then, she was focused on success and received college credits while she was competing on Idol. That was such an intelligent thing to do, showing that she had the brains of a successful businesswoman right from the start.Since then, she worked very hard and has gone on to win over 100 major awards such as: Country Music Association award for a new artist, multiple Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Artist, American music Award for Artist of the year, Entertainer of the year, Album of the year, and the list goes on.
She is a powerhouse vocalist and performer.
Another cool fact about Carrie Underwood is that she lived in Ottawa for a couple of years. She had been dating and then married Ottawa Senators Mike Fisher in July of 2010. It wasn’t long after that they moved to Nashville so that she could continue with her music. He was traded to the Nashville Predator hockey team, so it worked out and they are recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary and have two beautiful sons.
I learned something recently about her that really makes me admire her even more. From about Sept to January every year since 2013, she rakes in $18 million dollars for a pre-recorded song on Sunday night Football! Isn’t that crazy and so amazing for her? She sings a rendition of Joan Jett’s “Hate myself for Loving you” adapted to “waiting all day for Sunday night” it is a spectacle and one of the things I do wait for every Sunday! I am in awe of her. Depending on what teams are playing I may or may not stay tuned for the game, as I am oddly a football fan too.
She also seems super down to earth and nature loving, another interest of mine so I started following her on Instagram she has some decent gardening tips from time to time. A good place to go for some inspiration and recharge my mindset.
Some days, it’s hard to keep motivated and positive. Ms. Underwood is one of the women I look to, to find strength, courage and to keep going to find my inner powerhouse.
Keeping that in mind in my short career as a breeder, in which the purpose was to preserve an ancient dying breed, the beautiful Barbet. One of my litters was named “Celebration of Music” Litter. One of those special puppies was a rare fawn/blonde and is registered as Carrie Underwood. From the research that I have been doing on Carrie, I feel that she would appreciate the fact that I honoured her by naming one of my puppies after her. To me, it is the highest honour.
My name is Tammy. I am an avid lover of animals, music, and nature. I have 15 dogs and 1 cat, and spend most of my free time exploring nature, swimming, reading, and writing.
