Carrie Underwood is having a blast on her Blown Away tour.
The country music star thinks the "weird life" and odd hours involved in touring the US are worth it as she has a great time hanging out with her backing musicians, but has to take time out from her gruelling schedule to relax every now and again.
"We're having a lot of fun when we're out on the road. If we weren't, we wouldn't keep doing it. We all work so hard and have such funny hours. It's such a weird life that we live. We live on tour buses and it's just strange, so on days off I'll go take the dogs for a super long walk. I got a massage a couple of days ago and that was nice. But it's really all about recharging the batteries."
The 29-year-old singer promises fans a very visual and "cinematic" experience with the tour and says she put a lot of effort into planning the staging to accompany her brand new tracks as she wants the audience to feel they got their money's worth:

Carrie Underwood Writes for Herself

The "Before He Cheats" singer tries not to worry about the business side of her career and instead just concentrates on writing music that she enjoys singing.
"I try not to think too much about what other people want from me. I feel like that's somebody else's job to be like, 'Carrie, you've gone too far.' I don't know statistics, and I don't know what kind of songs people download more. I just know what I like, and I know when I'm singing what feels good for me to sing and what songs I'd turn up on the radio and which ones I'd change. So I kind of write for myself, I sing for myself, and if people like it, I guess they're a lot like me."
Mutt Lange offered Carrie the song "Who Are You" for her latest album Blown Away and she was thrilled the legendary producer wanted to work with her: "He submitted it. He sent it in. He's really secretive and private about what he has. Lord knows how many songs he has stashed away some place, but I guess he had me in mind at some point. I don't know when he wrote it, but somewhere along the way he must have thought, 'Hey, Carrie would sound good on this.' I don't know what he thought but I'm glad whatever he thought, he thought it, because he sent it in.
