I just finished watching CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, and I cannot get over how phenomenal the entire event was. Every single story was so inspiring, and I want to take a moment and thank Carrie for introducing not only me, but every fan who watched for the first time, to such an extraordinary awards ceremony. It’s incredible how all of these amazing people managed to help change the world with their love and truly make a difference in people’s lives. I honestly could not help but cry through most of the show, and I will be tuning in every year from now on.
Carrie’s performance of “Change” was absolutely flawless and she got a standing ovation for it! She sang with such incredible emotion and it was so touching… I’m seriously speechless! This is my favorite performance to date, I can’t stop watching it. If you missed it, the video is below! We’ll have caps up soon!

Carrie Underwood has been riding high as one of the most popular singers to win on “American Idol.” Since becoming a star in 2005, when she was crowned the champion of “American Idol’s” fourth season, Underwood has sold millions of records, won a slew of awards and gone on several high-profile tours. And now she’s starring in her very first holiday TV special, aptly titled “Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special,” which premieres December 7 at 8 p.m. Eastern/Pacific Time on Fox. Guest stars in the special include Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Christina Applegate, Kristin Chenoweth and “American Idol” Season 7 winner David Cook.

Underwood has plenty to celebrate this holiday season: Her third album, “Play On,” debuted at the top of the Billboard album chart after its November 2009 release. And, for the second year in a row, she and Paisley co-hosted the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs). During a recent telephone conference call with reporters, Underwood talked about some of the highlights of her holiday special, which “American Idol” Season 8 singers were her favorites, and what she thinks about tabloid rumors claiming that she tried to steal the spotlght from Taylor Swift at this year’s CMAs.

Before you became famous, what was your typical Christmas and to what extent was music involved with it?

Growing up, basically we don’t really have too many traditions as a family. But we would always celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Of course, Santa would come on Christmas morning. But we had records and it wasn’t even any specific name, artist. It was just like a choir or something. We had these old records that I would always play for Christmas. I have them now. Thank God my mom didn’t throw them away. I have them now and I still like to play them. It makes me think about Christmas.

Are you going to be doing “Cowboy Casanova” and other hits during your holiday special?

Yes, we’re doing several new songs, as well as a few that people should recognize. Other artists get to come on and do some of their own stuff, too, which is really cool. And I do stuff with them and it’s just a big mish-mash of awesome music.

In “Cowboy Casanova,” you have to do so much so fast in that song. What did you first think of when you first saw this song and how hard was it to really master it?

It wasn’t that hard to master it because I was one of the writers. So it came from me from my mouth and on to paper and then out of my mouth again when we recorded it. So it really wasn’t that difficult to do … I talk a lot, so.
