Carrie Underwood performs tonight

American Idol's co-creator and acerbic judge Simon Cowell had predicted during the competition that Carrie Underwood would win and that she would outsell all of Idol's previous winners. He was right on both counts. Carrie’s debut album, Some Hearts, is the biggest-selling American Idol album to date, selling more than 6 million records in the U.S. alone. Her debut CD, Some Hearts, released in 2005, has been the best-selling female country album of 2005, 2006 and 2007. Carrie hit #1 with every single she has released to date, and has won two Grammys as well as a host of trophies from the AMA, ACM, CMA, People’s Choice and Billboard, among many others.

Tonight she performs at The Sovereign Center Area located only a few blocks from the hotel.
