Carrie Underwood (født 10. marts 1983 i Checotah, Oklahoma) er en amerikansk countrysanger. Hun blev kendt for sin medvirken i American Idol, som hun vandt i 2005. Vindersangen var Inside your heaven.

Carrie Underwood er en amerikansk countrysanger, der fik sit gennembrud ved at vinde "American Idol" i 2005. Sammen med Kelly Clarkson er hun dette shows mest succesrige vinder. Hun var også den første country sanger, der vandt.

Hun er født i Oklahoma i 1983. Hun er den yngste af 3 piger. Hendes søstre er en del ældre end hun, og som lille lyttede Carrie til samme musik, som hendes teenage søstre lyttede til. Carrie har idag en meget bred musik smag, men hendes hjerte banker for country musikken.

Det at synge har altid været en drøm for Carrie. Da hun var 13/14 år tog hun sammen med hendes forældre til Nashville og indspillede en demo cd. "First studio sessions". I 2001 prøvede hun igen lykken og indspillede en demo cd. "Carrie Underwood". Her indspillede hun bla sangen "Show me Heaven". Ingen pladeselskaber skrev kontrakt med hende, og "Show me Heaven" blev et kæmpehit for Jessica Andrews. Året efter lavede Carrie også en live cd med hendes band "Live at Little Rock". Disse tre demo cd bliver idag solgt på Ebay til priser omkring 1400 kr!

Da Carrie var færdig med High School (nummer to i hendes klasse) og endnu intet var sket med hendes musikkarriere besluttede hun sig for at læse journalistik på college. Da hun var på det sidste år, så hun en dag i fjernsynet at American Idol holdt auditions, og hun besluttede sig for at prøve lykken....

Da hun havde vundet showet tog hun tilbage til college og færdiggjorde hendes uddannelse.

Hendes debut cd "Some Hearts" har solgt over 6 millioner og er 6xplatin. Den eneste kvindelige countrysanger, der har solgt så mange eksemplarer af hendes debut cd.

Samtlige af hendes fire singler - Jesus take the wheel, Dont forget to remember me, Before he cheats og Wasted har ligget nummer 1 på den amerikanske country hitliste. Hvilket også er en rekord.
