Carrie Underwood is one country superstar who makes a fashion statement each time she steps on stage or walks a red carpet.
During Nashville Fashion Week (9/4) at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, her cultural and industry impact as a fashionista was also explored.
Carrie and her fashion team - Marina Toybina and Maria "Poni" Silver - who are both members of Underwood's design team and renowned for their work with other artists as well, participated in the museum's Suiting the Sound series.
She recently revealed to us, "I'm very particular when it comes to my Opry wardrobe. You see pictures on the wall or looking up things about the Grand Ole Opry, and I feel like the women always dressed a certain caliber. It was very rhinestones; it was very shiny."
She added, "It was a certain kind of dress. I love trying to carry that legacy on because they were just so beautiful to me."
Underwood also noted that her wardrobe reveals a lot about herself. She said, "There's a lot of me in the wardrobe, like personal pieces that I had in my closet that I brought. I collect vintage tees, and I had big Guns N' Roses t-shirts, and I had one that was Patty Loveless… I'll buy them even when they're huge, and we'll make rompers out of them. And those are really fun."
Underwood does not have many love songs in her catalog. Over the years, I've often chatted with Carrie when she told me about her omission of the standard love song.
She told me in one of those interviews not long ago, "It's never been a conscious thing to exclude love songs (laughs). I just think, in general, I find them like static. Like, I hear something, or it doesn't seem genuine to me."
Underwood did record a love song on her 2015 Storytellers album, which she co-wrote. She told me of the song at the time, "I mean writing 'Heartbeat,' I feel like I was the last one that was into it while we were writing it. Because I don't really love songs. It was just there; it was something that kind of seemed real and conversational and had a real life about it."
