'American Idol' Carrie Underwood Nominated for 3 Country Music Awards, Readies for Release of Second Album

Carrie Underwood is riding high. Recently nominated for three Country Music Awards, former American Idol winner Underwood is only two weeks away from the release of her highly-anticipated second album "Carnival Ride", which has already provided a hit single, with more likely on their way. It's been a whirlwind last couple years for the blonde country singer, and Carrie's massive popularity and huge record sales don't look to be waning at any point in the near future. The Country Music Awards will be held on November 7th, at which point it's possible that Underwood will be enjoying as much success as ever, if her new album Carnival Ride meets the high expectations placed upon it.
