Headlining night 1 of ACM’s Party For A Cause was none other than Carrie Underwood. It’s her we have to thank for this wonderful day of Women In Country! She requested the bill for Friday to be all Female Country Artists! It was definitely a day in heaven!

Underwood has one of the most amazing voices across all genres! It was wonderful to hear her perform her new single “Church Bells.”

Her previous single, “Heartbeat” recently hit #1 and happens to be my favorite off the Storyteller album!

Underwood also had a few surprises up her sleeve, as well as being surprised herself when the Academy of Country Music presented her with the Lifting Lives Gary Haber Award! She brought out Miranda Lambert to perform their song “Something Bad.” The crowd went wild with excitement!

Underwood also performed a song off her album Storyteller called “Dirty Laundry.” It’s a fun song about what happens when a man cheats on you! Of course being cheated on is definitely not fun, but it’s a warning to men, if you do it, well your dirty laundry is going to be aired!

Waiting all day/night for Underwood to perform was well worth it. She always blows it out of the water! Speaking of water, she performed her GRAMMY winning song “Something In The Water.” I had to record a clip as it’s such a powerful song that really showcases her vocal range!

Not only did Underood request to have an all female bill, but she then invited them back to sing with her! The atmosphere was crazy as Kelleigh Bannen, Lauren Alaina, Kellie Pickler and Jana Kramer all came back out to perform “Before He Cheats” with Underwood!
