Congratulations, Carrie!

Next up, Carrie is spending time writing and recording new music in the next few months. We’ve got our fingers crossed for a new album from Carrie later this year or early 2017.

In the meantime, Carrie is enjoying her hit collaboration with Keith Urban on “The Fighter.” They turned in a stellar performance of the song on the ACM Awards April 2 in Las Vegas.
