Since winning American Idol, Carrie Underwood’s life has been so much more than “Just a Dream.”
The Oklahoma native shot to fame in 2005 after becoming the champion of the TV singing competition’s fourth season. Following the success of her debut single, “Inside Your Heaven,” which made her the first country music artist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, she released her album Some Hearts.
And Underwood’s career was only just beginning. Hot on the heels of “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Before He Cheats” taking over radio stations, she won her first two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, in 2007.
She was honored in 2018 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but her biggest accomplishment is becoming a mother. Underwood shares two sons, Isaiah and Jacob, with husband Mike Fisher, whom she wed in 2010.
