Underwood crosses the Pond

Tuesday, March 19, 2013 – Carrie Underwood took her "Blown Away Tour" across the pond this past week, performing shows and visiting with media in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Her sold-out dates in Dublin and Belfast were not only her debut performances, but also marked her first visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland. She wrapped up her trip in London by closing the "C2C:Country To Country" Festival at the O2 Arena last night.

At the sold-out Belfast show at Waterfront Hall during St. Patrick's Day weekend, Underwood invited a couple who happen to be some of her biggest Irish fans onto the stage where the gentleman proposed to his girlfriend of 10 years. The girlfriend said yes to applause from the crowd.

Underwood and her band also met British and Irish fans while visiting some of the local sites including the London Eye, a tour of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, a stop at the Titanic Belfast and the oldest tavern in Belfast, White's Tavern.

CD reviews for Carrie Underwood

CD review - My Savior Carrie Underwood's gospel music album may not be traditional in the sense that she sings these songs the same way she heard them as a child growing up. However, on the traditional/modern country music spectrum, this album leans closer to traditional country music than just about anything Underwood's recorded.

CD review - My Gift It makes logical sense that Carrie Underwood, arguably mainstream country music's best pure vocalist, would make a Christmas album. And make no mistake about it, this is a 'Christmas' album, as opposed to a 'holiday' release. These 11 tracks are nearly all spiritual in nature.

The string of great fortune turned sharply in 2017, when Underwood began the unfathomable experience of three consecutive lost pregnancies. This was atop a frightening fall at her home that ended with her face in nearly 50 stitches. Sharing these moments with her fans makes the beamingly-beautiful singer ...
