Further, it is impossible not to mention Carrie Underwood, whose entire career has accumulated over more than 90 nominations and 53 awards to these nominations, including five Grammy Awards



The girl is still young, so there is still time to achieve a lot, by the way, she is the winner of the contest American Idol 2005))



Miranda Lambert ... for me personally and heard the name and appearance of the form, but that's something I can not remember her songs, maybe not to my taste ...

I see what the list is, in principle, infinite)) I once again saw that country singer living in his own world (well, Taylor Swift does not take into account) - they are not so publicly as a pop star, not so often engage in scandals, etc., but still - their albums are gold-platinum-multi-platinum, etc., many of them are among the most highly paid musicians in the world ... I have the impression that the world of country music lives completely separate life as if it were another planet where its own rules, has its own "rulers" and "legislators."
