Carrie Underwood: Grammy-hoarding superstar

Born 1983 in the small town of Checotah, Oklahoma, Carrie Underwood started singing at a tender age. Adding guitar and piano to her dulcet voice, the then teenager performed at town events and the local church. Initially giving up her dream of singing, Underwood applied to Northeastern State University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications.

Her childhood dream to become a renowned artist was renewed upon entering the fourth series of the American Idol competition. The first country singer to win the national talent show, after claiming victory she recorded songs for her album Some Hearts, in what would become the signature Carrie Underwood style. Propelled by the huge crossover success of the singles "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats" Some Hearts sold 300,000 copies in its first week, and went on to become the bestselling country debut in music history produced by a female singer; going platinum an astounding seven times. Underwood won three Grammy Awards for the album, including Best New Artist.

Her second album Carnival Ride was released in 2007. It had one of the biggest ever opening weeks by a female artist and earned Underwood two more Grammy Awards. Her next album, 2009's Play On, was another commercial success led by the single "Cowboy Casanova". Underwood's fourth album, Blown Away (2012), earned her another Grammy Award and was that year's second best-selling release by a female artist.
