Carrie, who is the most successful "American Idol" alum to date, tells Glamour that being rich and famous doesn't hurt the authenticity of her songs. "It would be very hard to write about my Louboutins ... my giant house, it's not relatable," she says. "But my husband came from a small town and hardworking parents like I did, and I don't think we've lost that mind-set. We don't have a bowling alley in our basement. We don't have houses on the beach and one in New York and one in L.A. I drive a 3-year-old Ford Escape Hybrid. We don't care about stuff like that."
Carrie's husband, Nashville Predators (and former Ottawa Senators) player Mike Fisher, is also unaffected by his wife's celebrity status. "He knew what to expect," the singer explains. "In Canada he was a big celebrity, so he knows what it's like living under a microscope. And he travels a lot, which is good for both of us. We're both independent people."

"Any guy I've ever dated, there would always be that doubt: 'He didn't answer his phone. What's he doing? It's late.' I'm not the crazy-girlfriend type, but there was a little voice in the back of my head," she tells Glamour. "I don't have to worry about Mike. I don't think twice. He's going out? I don't care; it doesn't bother me. I don't bat an eye."
Critics are already raving about Blown Away, particularly concerning the growth Carrie has proven as a songwriter on the project. While the country sweetheart maintains a squeaky-clean image, her lyrics dig deeper and darker than ever.
"We kill a couple people," laughs the singer-songwriter. "It wouldn't be a Carrie Underwood album without a revenge song on it. People really like when I do that. I don't mean to. I don't hate men that much. But it turns out so well!"
