Carrie Underwood honors some of the greatest woman in country music with a stunning medley at the 2020 ACM Awards.
Carrie became a household name after winning the fourth season of American Idol back in 2005. She won over the hearts of America with covers of songs such as Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and “Bless The Broken Road” from Rascal Flatts.
After her win, she quickly climbed the country charts and made a solid name for herself in the country music world. It’s been nearly 15 years since that momentous audition and Carrie is still releasing hit after hit.
Today, she’s honoring some of the most famous women in country music with an incredible medley of hits at the 2020 Academy of Country Music award’s show. To celebrate the Grand Ole Opry’s 95th anniversary, Carrie is belting out songs from beloved artists Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire and Martina McBride.
“Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue”
Before the performance, Carrie expressed her appreciation and gratitude for these pioneers in country music. “These strong voices mean so much to me and to all the other female artists who stand on their shoulders.” And there is no doubt that Carrie pulls off an incredible cover of each hit. These songs are pieces of music history and it is incredible to watch them live on so that another generation can enjoy the powerful words and melodies.
