Carrie Underwood's mega successful career is obviously a byproduct of winning Season 4 of 'American Idol.' While the 'Two Black Cadillacs' singer could have a fleet of private jets at her disposal at this point in her career, such was not the case when she first won the show. She was offered access to a private jet -for free!- but she nixed it for practical reasons.
March 14, 2013 Rumors abound that country music superstar Carrie Underwood is considering joining the team at Fox TV's 'The X Factor' as a judge. Would you watch it if she did?
It seems everyone wants to collaborate with Taylor Swift. Spunky Miranda Lambert has mentioned her interest, and British crooner Ed Sheeran penned a song with Swift for her 'Red' album.

Carrie Underwood turned 30 on Sunday (March 10), but she likes to say it's the one year anniversary of her 29th birthday. Age doesn't bother the 'Two Black Cadillacs' singer -- she just can't wrap her mind around being 30 quite yet. But that isn't going to keep the superstar from celebrating all week long.
Rural living is often a theme in country music videos, so it's rather reasonable to expect a farm animal to make a cameo in a clip from country music's biggest names.

Both were victims of a new internet craze called "goating."
Hunter Hayes kicked off 2013 with a performance at the Grammys and an eye-popping six ACM nominations. The 'Somebody's Heartbreak' singer also expects to have new music for fans this year, and he'll play the first-ever Taste of Country Music Festival this June. As for true romance? Well, he's still searching.
Before there was Scotty McCreery, Carrie Underwood or even Kelly Clarkson, another country act got a start on a television singing competition. Ed McMahon's 'Star Search' named its first Vocal Group winner in 1983, and helped launch the career of a pack of hitmakers as reliable as any in the early to mid-90s.
Is Hunter Hayes, one of country music's cutest, most talented and most eligible bachelors, about to come off the market? Could be, as it's being said that he and singer/actress Selena Gomez were seen flirting and even exchanged digits.
25-year-old country singer Jimmy Smith sang the Keith Urban hit 'Raining On Sunday' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (Feb. 21), delivering a performance that left the judges mostly unimpressed.
