Friday faves – She’s my favorite today.
Apologies for the blurry photos. This post was written before I switched sites and the pictures didn’t transfer well. If you want to see them clearly, you’ll have to stop by sometime.
This week’s favorites list is short.
And blond.
With killer legs and a powerful voice.

And last night she Blew. Us. Away.
But last night, after 2 long years and one awesome album, she was back.

You know that as a rule I do not enjoy posting photos of myself on this blog. But since we so rarely clean up, this time I made an exception. |
Sidenote: If you read yesterday’s post, you may wonder why those pumpkins behind me are intact.
But back to Carrie.
 And for the record, he wasn’t trying to grab her boob. It was a greenscreen so we had to just pretend we could see her and he meant to have one hand on her shoulder and one around her waist. At least that’s the story he’s sticking with. |
Opening act: Hunter Hayes. Adorable. Crazy talented. Did I say adorable?
 If things don’t work out for some reason between Thing 1 and any of the boys from One Direction, I’m gonna see if I can get him her number. |
Since Carrie still hadn’t retweeted me or answered any of my emails by show time, I guessed she wasn’t going to invite me backstage for a pre-party, so I gave in, gave up, got a small beverage and made my way down to my seat like the rest of the commoners who are not BFFs with her.
I had promised myself I’d watch more of the show with my eyes this time instead of with my camera.

Outfit #1. Showin’ off the legs (always). Not sure what kind of a look she was going for here with the peacock feathers and industrial belt and tiny finger covers, but I liked it. And I’m also thinkin’ those spiky bracelets could impale a small squirrel. Hold on while I go make a few…
 {…and again} |
Outfit #2. LOVED. She’s all about the mini fingerless gloves this time, apparently, which somehow works for her. But then again, everything does.
 This was after a stranger helped him find some clothes. Oh, Randy. We still love you. {photo credit: not me. definitely not me} |
Then she did something pretty cool. She flew.
 This was my favorite look. In other news, I just ordered a long fringed vest from Zappos. |
The last song she sang on the float was “One Way Ticket” — which is totally Caribbean and carefree — so we had a little party.
One thing I’ve always loved about Carrie is that she doesn’t really constrict herself solely to traditional country music.
I do love the ‘fierce‘ Carrie.

The night ended with a tornado. And, of course, confetti. Lots and lots of confetti.
Thank you for sharing! Carrie is one country artist I still haven’t seen live! I loved your Randy Travis commentary…too funny! Oh, and Hunter Hayes…I have a huge crush and would totally track him down if he weren’t a wee bit too young for me!

Carrie is a great singer. and One Direction? surprisingly i listened to their songs and loved them. ha!
Before I read the explanation… I was gonna ask you if he was groping her…
I saw Carrie last year on labor day weekend at Mystic Lake Casino. Not sure if that’s around your where abouts. She did mention on stage that she wasn’t expecting it to be quite so cold and she was glad she happened to have ONE sweater on her bus. Maybe the cold scared her to phoenix.
[…] stupid magazine that I only bought because it had Carrie Underwood on the cover (and you know how I feel about HER).But I did manage to read one book and start […]
