Carrie Underwood Tapes CMT Special

The Carrie Underwood promotion machine is already in high gear to support her upcoming CD, Play On, which has a November 3 release date.

In addition to the recent video debut of her CD's first single, "Cowboy Casanova," Carrie is scheduled to perform live in Nashville with her CMA Awards Show co-host, Brad Paisley, on Good Morning America on Tuesday, November 10 on ABC. The concert takes place on the outside plaza of the Sommet Center at the corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue and is free and open to the public.

If you happen to be in the area and wish to attend, take my advice and get there good and early because it's going to be an absolute madhouse in downtown Music City that morning. And be sure to schedule time after the event to hang out in some of Nashville's famous honky-tonks, which are right across the street from the Sommet Center. It's bound to be a big party all afternoon and evening long.

Carrie has also finished taping a special for CMT, titled "Invitation Only: Carrie Underwood," which will premier on Tuesday, December 1 at 9 p.m. E.S.T. Taped before a live audience, she performed a number of her biggest hits, including "Before He Cheats" and "Last Name." She also performed her new single, "Cowboy Casanova." The evening's biggest treat, however, was Carrie fielding questions from the audience. Word has it she was very revealing and candid with a number of her responses.
