    TheBoot.com: Carrie Underwood Comes Out To 'Play' (Interview)

    This has some quotes in common with the Billboard article because it's by the same person but there's a lot more in depth stuff. Great article! Please click on the link and leave a good comment if you can!

    Carrie Underwood Comes Out to 'Play' - The Boot

    It's too long to quote in full but here's some excerpts.

    The new album's first single, 'Cowboy Casanova,' is rocketing up the charts and proving to be a successful bit of escapist fun. The album also includes more poignant tunes such as 'Temporary Home,' which Carrie co-wrote. "I would love people to listen to 'Temporary Home' and know that I believe what I'm singing. I'm a Christian and this earth is just passing through, as life isn't the end," she says. "I would love people to listen to 'Mama's Song' and say 'OK, she loves her mama and she's in a good place in her life right now.' I think that's what a lot of it is about. Even things that I picked, songs that I didn't write this time, are happy songs."

    Some of that contentment might easily be attributed to her relationship with her boyfriend, Mike Fisher, a hockey player with the Ottawa Senators. "He brings out the best in me. He's a good person," Carrie tells The Boot. "I've felt myself grow with him, which is really good. Certain people in your life I feel like you come across for a reason ... If we stay together or don't stay together, I'm very glad that I met him. He's been a really positive influence on my life."
    Though she enjoyed stretching creatively by working with co-writers from different genres, Carrie's concerned fans might think she's jumping ship and leaving country music. "My biggest fear [was] that people would see names like that and think she's going to try to go into a different genre of music," she says, "which I'm promising right now it would never happen."
    "I'm at a place in my life where things are calm. I have more money that I ever thought, or I would know what to do with -- not in a look how much I have kind of way," she says seeming rather embarrassed, "but I'm comfortable and set, so now it's time to help everyone else, too. When we went to Checotah and presented all these musical instruments and all this equipment, all it did was just made me want to do more. The band students were looking at everything afterwards and were crying and they were like, 'You don't know how much we needed this!' I've gotten letters from people who went to the football game last Friday night and saw all the shiny new instruments on the field and it just looked so great. Plus when you have a shiny new instrument to play, you feel that much more confident. There's more to come from the foundation!"
