Carrie Underwood Makes "Name" for Herself

Reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Carrie Underwood will perform at 2008 CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Friday, June 6, as part of the Nightly Concerts on the VAULT Concert Stage at LP Field.. Photographer: Andrew Eccles, courtesy of Arista Nashville. Provided by Country Music Association.

May 29, 2008 — When Carrie Underwood goes out at night, she frequently finds her name appearing in gossip columns and night-life rundowns that tell who she was spending time with and where she went.

Her current single, "Last Name," plays off of night-life activity, though when the character gets married to someone and doesn’t remember it, the song clearly goes way farther into the absurd than Carrie ever has. Carrie wrote it with Hillary Lindsey and Luke Laird, and — as should be the case with an oops-I-partied-too-hard song — they had a great time writing it.

"We just had tons of fun and laughing," Carrie told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "As soon as we got done with it, all of these ideas started rolling in about what we wanted to do with the music and make everything real gritty. It just all came together. It's a lot of fun to perform onstage, and the video was kind of sassy, and I like it."

Carrie’s not the only one who likes it. "Last Name" is ranked at No. 6 on the Country Aircheck singles chart, and the video stands at No. 4 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown.

Visitors to the CMA Music Festival in Nashville will be able to catch both Carrie and Luke in live events. Carrie performs Friday, June 6, at LP Field during the nightly concerts. She shares the bill with Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Josh Turner, Lady Antebellum and Jack Ingram. On Thursday, June 5, Luke — who also wrote "So Small" — performs in an After Hours concert at the Hard Rock Café, along with Jon Randall ("Whiskey Lullaby"), Jessi Alexander and Dave Berg ("Stupid Boy").

Sorry if I was a little late, but it's now Round 2 of Sexiest Woman of 2008 and Carrie with 15% in Seniors Group D easily advanced after Round 1.

The top 30 ladies after this head to the next round; if you want Carrie to be one of them, then vote for her now!!
