Carrie Underwood On Feeling Alone On Stage, Not Getting Political And More

Audio By Carbonatix

Carrie Underwood is set to play the Glastonbury Music Festival this weekend, but while she’ll be surrounded by thousands of fans, she admits that she sometimes feels a bit lonely on stage. “A lot of times I feel like I’m alone,” she tells “The Guardian.” “I’m obviously aware of people being around me. But it’s like I’m in the song alone on stage.” 

Not that that lonely ness is a problem for Carrie. “I like to be alone," she says. "My husband is probably the only person this planet I could’ve married – my mom, when I told her I was engaged, was even like ‘I just never really thought you’d get married.’"

Carrie also talks to the paper about why she chooses not to share her political feelings with fans, noting, “I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins. It’s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it’s black and white. And it’s not like that.”

 In fact, Carrie says she got a little upset when folks tried to pigeonhole her song “The Bullet” as being specifically being about gun control. “It was more about the lives that were changed by something terrible happening,” she says. “And it does kind of bug me when people take a song, or take something I said and try to pigeonhole or force me to pick a side or something. It’s a discussion – a long discussion.” 

• ONE MORE THING! Carrie once again talked about how she felt after suffering three miscarriages, and tells the paper, “I think you feel silly being so attached to something that you knew about for this long,” she says, holding her fingers close togehter. “But I still feel it, you know." As for working while going through the heartache, she notes, “I was still trying to do my job and put on a smiley happy face and be Carrie Underwood. And then I’d go home and fall apart.”
