Carrie Underwood Dazzles Country Fans

Carrie Underwood was busy on Friday night (June 8), entertaining country music enthusiasts at the 2007 CMA Music Festival. Held in Nashville, Carrie belted out her hit song 'Before He Cheats,' which earned the biggest applause of any song performed over the three and a half-hour multiple-entertainer show.

According to a concert-goer from CMT.com, "The women in the rows around me at LP Field leapt to their feet at the first note of Underwood's hit, as if their seats were hot-wired. This wasn't a casual singalong either, nothing like George Strait's fans joining in on 'All My Exes Live in Texas.' These ladies were vigorously shaking their fingers, their necks and their booties."

Showing the diversity of her fan base, the CMT spectator added, "One section over, I watched a little girl, maybe 6 years old, belting out every single word as though her life depended on it."

Carrie, who obviously has a fan base that truly adores her, was decked out in a sleek black dress. According to CMT, "her six-song set began with 'Beautiful,' presumably a song from her new album that's due later this year. She also submitted a strong and empowering version of 'Wasted,' her most recent No. 1 single."

Performing wasn't the only reason for Carrie's appearance at the event. At the end of her set, Ms Underwood accepted a plaque for selling 6 million copies of her debut album, Some Hearts. She told the crowd, "You know, this all started because you all voted for me on American Idol ... and this belongs to you, too."
