Thanks for finding, Robin...Informative & revealing...
Carrie is open to do other things...Like host the CMAs again (Hint Hint, CMA...Don't be stupid...Carrie & Brad again next year)
We have a definitive statement from Carrie regards Miranda Lambert...She respects her as an artist & songwriter, and wants to "do something with her"...That would be a most intriguing pairing as they bring very different styles to the table...Would be interesting for sure

...I'd like to see...
Again, Carrie praises everyone involved with her tour...2008 will be known as a defining year in Carrie's career...3 things happened that would evolve her on the path towards legend...Based on observation, I felt that Carrie thought she lacked two things...The true & full CONFIDENCE she wanted...& a small part of her I feel still thought she wasn't fully accepted by Nashville...
1st...The Opry Induction...Becoming the youngest member of the Opry "family" would give Carrie both a strong confidence boost AND a stronger sense of belonging...The Mother Church of Country Music had bestowed its' blessing on our girl...It showed...
2nd...The Headlining Tour...Carrie was reluctant about this...Remember the "What if nobody shows up" comment?? Team Carrie believed she was ready...I truly believe the whole Co-headline thing with Keith Urban was intended to show Carrie she CAN do it...And she HAS...By my reckoning over 90% sellouts of her concerts...A tremendous confidence boost for Carrie...and it SHOWED...She COMMANDS the stage now...She's having FUN...and we as fans get to enjoy it all...
3rd...The 3-peat FVOTY...Based on what we've seen & heard, THIS is the FVOTY that really MEANS something to Carrie...Consider what she said...That she had arrived to Nashville by an unconventional way, & that they didn't have to accept her...Nashville sent a strong message back this time...
Carrie...Your peers say you BELONG! Your peers say you are ACCEPTED!!
With the pieces all in place now, I can't WAIT for the 3rd cd!!! It will be astonishing!! Bank on it!!
Have an AWESOME Carrie Day, everyone!!!!!
