02/07/10 – Super Bowl XLIV Pregame Show

Wow! Carrie was absolutely flawless singing the National Anthem tonight at Super Bowl XLIV! Seriously, incredible! If you missed it, you can watch the video below thanks to Vinman. And congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning their first ever Super Bowl!!!

Also, the praise is pouring in for our girl after performing the Anthem, here are a few great comments:

Daily Contributor: Carrie Underwood’s version of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the pregame show prior to Super Bowl 2010 is one of the best renditions I’ve heard at a sporting event.

Tech Banyan: Carrie Underwood Super Bowl appearance is one of the highlights of tonight’s match.

USA Today: Moments later, with the color guard closely behind her on a makeshift stage at midfield, Underwood belted out a stunning rendition of the national anthem. Seconds after finishing the final note, Underwood looked toward the sky with a big smile as four F-15s flew over the stadium before peeling away on full afterburner, rattling the seats at Sun Life Stadium.

My Gloss: Then, a white-jumpsuited Carrie Underwood stepped out to belt out the National Anthem and once again proved she’s more than worthy of her American Idol win and countless awards earned thereafter. Underwood’s rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” was accented by fireworks and most notably, moving images of American soldiers in Kabul, Afghanistan.

MTV: Carrie Underwood excels no matter what the context. Fresh off her headline-grabbing contribution to the Michael Jackson tribute at this year’s Grammy Awards (where she adroitly weaved her way through Jackson’s “Earth Song”), Underwood took the microphone in front of a sold-out Sun Life Stadium in Miami to deliver a killer rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the kickoff to Super Bowl XLIV.

Vitamin Water spent the day with Carrie as she got ready for her big Superbowl performance! In the video, she gives us a tour of her hotel room and even shows us Ace’s adorable photoshoot! She’s seriously so hilarious lol I love her sense of humor! Watch the video below, you’ll love it!

Carrie Underwood surprises teen fan with phone call
I’ve been used — and I loved it!

Carrie Underwood and the CMA came up with a sweet way to announce that Carrie would be playing the CMA Music Fest this summer.

Turns out a Carrie super fan — 15-year-old Riley Ahlstrand of Brentwood — had e-mailed the CMA to ask if Carrie would be playing the CMA Music Fest. So Carrie called the teenager today and told her herself.

I was the go-between. I went down to Riley’s house to interview her about her love of country music and suddenly and mysteriously, my cell phone rang, and it was Carrie!

Young Riley got teary and a bit speechless, and it was all fantastic.

Earlier today I uploaded photos of Carrie attending a press conference in Florida for this Sunday’s Super Bowl. I just added many more, so check them out below!

Yesterday Carrie arrived in Miami since she will be singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday! It’s kind of scary though because the photographers seem really crazy in these photos. Hopefully it doesn’t continue on to that extent when they want to take photos of her. I also added a photo from Carrie’s Cosmo shoot. The magazine is on news stands for many people now, so be sure to pick up a copy!

Was it love at first sight when Carrie Underwood met her future fiance Mike Fisher in October 2008? The country star isn’t saying, but when the pair were set up by friends to meet backstage at a Toronto concert, Underwood fretted about the hockey player.

“I made sure he came in with some other people,” she says in the March issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. “I was like, ‘what if he’s weird?’”

The matchmaking worked, of course: Underwood, 26, and Fisher, 29, confirmed their engagement Dec. 21 of last year. The singer has been flashing her flawless yellow diamond ring by Jonathon Arndt– worth about $150,000 — during the current awards season. Underwood tells Cosmopolitan that Fisher “provided a lot of inspiration for songs” on her new album Play On, “whether it was something he said or just by being supportive.”

The busy couple hopes to have their wedding sometime this summer. And though she’s got a new tour coming up and just signed on to star in her first film Soul Surfer, Underwood maintains that she wants a work/life balance. “I didn’t want to be one of those people who has an amazing career but ends up alone and unhappy,” she tells Cosmo. “I want to be happy. I want it all.”
