Carrie Underwood Goes to a ‘Whole New Level’
Carrie Underwood is certainly getting used to being the star attraction. Prepping for her second headlining tour, the country superstar says the only thing her fans should expect is the unexpected.
"There's going to be a lot of different stuff on my tour," Carrie tells Young Hollywood. "We took the production to a whole new level. We have a lot of pieces on the stage that move around. A few very interesting surprises that get me a lot closer to the audience than I've ever been before. Of course I have two wonderful acts that will be on the road with me -- Sons of Sylvia and Craig Morgan, who I am friends and fans of. They're just great people."
In addition to her tour, Carrie is also preparing for her first major film role, starring opposite Dennis Quaid, AnnaSophia Robb and Helen Hunt in the biopic movie, 'Soul Surfer.' It's a role she says she has waited her whole life for.
"I've gotten a lot of scripts over the last few years," she says. "My life has been so crazy busy that I haven't really found one that was worth me parting the sea and parting my schedule and making time for. I got the script for 'Soul Surfer' in and I absolutely loved it. I loved the story. I thought it meant so much.
"I don't have a big massive role in the movie," Carrie, who plays the part of Sarah Hill, admits. "It's a very important part, and it's a very important person to Bethany Hamilton, whose story it's about. I'm very excited about my first movie, and I feel like I can't lose because it's such a great story and I'm so blessed to be able to help tell it."
Between touring, filming and planning her wedding with hockey player Mike Fisher, Carrie's calendar is booked.. But in spite of her jam-packed schedule, she insists she doesn't burn out. "I love what I do and I love the people I'm around, so I think it's easier to have a lot of energy when you really enjoy what you're doing."
Carrie's tour kicks off March 11 in Reading, Penn. Click here for a full list of tour dates.
