Carrie Underwood: 'Nashville' TV Show Amps Up the Scandalous

Carrie Underwood is weighing in on the new ABC drama, "Nashville." The hit show, which is filmed in Music City, has already earned legions of fans -- including the country music superstar. "I feel like the show represents our town really well," Carrie tells Rolling Stone magazine. "I love watching the show because I'm like, 'I eat there.'"

Still, the Oklahoma native says that the TV series isn't completely true to life. "I hope they don't think all the ladies of country music are that scandalous, because I promise you we're not," she insists. "I hope people don't think it's all backstabbing and everybody sleeping with everybody else. That's really not [the case], at least to my knowledge. There might be all kinds of stuff going on that I don't know about, but not in my world. People really are pretty open and friendly and normal."

Since she spends time watching the show each week, Carrie, who acted on the big screen in "Soul Surfer," has contemplated a guest role on the series. "[It's] something really different that would be out of my comfort zone -- a really wonderful thing to put on my 'I did that' list."

Carrie may not have much time to pursue acting just yet. She's in the middle of her globe-trotting Blown Away trek, which heads to Indiana and Michigan this weekend. See a list of tour stops here.

I hope that the real Nashville isn’t as dramatic, but that is definitely what keeps the show entertaining for me. With the show’s drama pushing the music, it makes the show much more worthwhile than other musical shows like Glee—its music pushes the drama. I’ve had friends that work with me at DISH really get on board with Nashville and fall in love with the duets that are commonly produced from episode to episode. I wouldn’t have even discovered the show if it weren’t for my DISH Hopper auto-recording it with the PrimeTime Anytime feature. It’s nice to not have to set up any timers for the big 4 networks’ primetime. I’m definitely forgetful with new shows, and I would hate to get behind on one with my busy schedule. Cheers to this insightful piece from a true Nashville star.

First things first: Nashville is not a "hit" in any way shape or form.

It has low ratings and is sinking fast.

The fact ABC hasn't canceled it yet speaks volumes about why ABC is in trouble.

It would be nice if journalists stopped calling every low-rated show a "hit".
