Underwood Still Embraces “Innocence” As Headlining Star
Although she’s become the biggest name in country music, Underwood still holds tight to her “small town values” and the “innocence” that provides her. Moreover, she recalls a hilarious response she once gave Ryan Seacrest on the notion of stardom.
Writing candidly for Guideposts, Carrie Underwood “reveals how her small-town upbringing shaped her faith, career and family life.” Her in-depth words reveal her entire journey – from “American Idol” hopeful – to Queen of Country.
As she dives in, Underwood reveals a telling – and hilarious – exchange she held with ‘Idol’ host, Ryan Seacrest later into her audition process. In turn, Seacrest proved integral in opening her eyes to what was ahead.
In Underwood’s own words, auditioning for ‘Idol’ was an organic development. Nothing fell into her lap throughout. Instead, her story is similar to many other stars who’ve come from the show’s pantheon. The difference for her, however, is the level of success the reality show brought her.
While in L.A. during the later part of auditions, Seacrest was interviewing the rising star.
“In L.A., Ryan Seacrest interviewed me and asked if I’d seen any stars,” Underwood notes. A common question for Seacrest to ask newcomers to the home of Hollywood.
Underwood, however, was just that – a newcomer. Naive. Innocent.
So how did she respond to Seacrest asking her if she’d seen any stars?
