Hello. So today's song is Blown Away by Carrie Underwood.
Carrie actually got into the music business thanks to American Idol, winning in 2005. Her debut single ended up breaking a lot of records for country music, topping charts where other songs in the genre never had, and the record breaking continued with the release of the full album. Her wiki page is basically just paragraph after paragraph of breaking records and if I listed it al we'd never be done so just know it's an impressive amount. Her second album was released in 2007, and did almost as well as the first, then she toured with Keith Urban. She won tons of awards, and also got to co-host the Country Music Awards show in 2008. That same year she was invited to be in the Grand Ole Opry, which for non-country people is basically a weekly barn dance by your favorite stars. Her third album came out in 2009 followed by a tour for it. In case you're wondering she continued breaking every record imaginable, winning awards left and right and hosted the CMA's two more times before being honored in 2011 by them as one of Country's Superstar Women. This song is the title track from her fourth album in 2012, and is a lot more serious than her previous work. She continued on making albums, touring, winning awards, and bringing country to the mainstream before taking a brief hiatus in 2017 to spend time with her family. She was back within the year, but also broke her leg so she focused on writing and didn't do any performances until this year with the release of her new album.
This one is a song that reminds us of someone we’d like to forget about. There are so many options. Will’s choice is expected with I’m Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of by A Day To Remember. Sammy picked 100 In A 55 by Pop Evil, my mom chose All Summer Long by Kid Rock, and my grandma finally went with Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks.
Peace.
