Carrie Underwood, the undisputed queen of country music, known for her powerhouse vocals and dazzling stage presence, has a secret: a side that’s as sharp as her high notes.
In a revealing interview with Rolling Stone, the star confessed to a past that might surprise her devoted fans. It’s a story that’s not just about the pressure of stardom, but about the relentless pursuit of perfection.
Underwood admits that she’s always been a tough critic, not only of herself but of fellow singers. “Growing up and going to concerts or seeing my favorite artists on TV, if they didn't sound like they were supposed to sound, it was always so deflating," she confessed.
The singer, who rose to fame after winning American Idol in 2005, explained that her early years were filled with a passion for vocal excellence, which often translated into a harsh judgment of those who didn’t meet her standards.
"I'd lose respect for them. Or when I'd go to a concert and hear them drop keys, I was like, 'You can't hit the notes! Why'd you record them if you can't sing them?' That stuff is important to me,” Underwood revealed.
This revelation, which might seem surprising coming from such a beloved star, sheds light on the often-hidden struggles of musicians.
