yayyy
Congratulations Carrie!!!! Your are an amazing person and artist, and I am so jealous that Mathew Mcconaughy kissed you on the cheek!!!!!
She is awesome!
I love this girl! And can she sing or what? OMG--she is so very deserving of this award and all of the others that have come her way. Did anyone else notice how at the end of her performance of "I Told you so", that she looked right into the camera as if she was talking to someone in particular? Hmmm...wonder who broke her heart in two? I think so many of us can relate to that song though...
Now this may seem like a really odd pairing but you know who I'd love to see her collaborate with on a song or an album? I'd love to see Carr & Beyonce! I'm not sure what it is. I think it's cause I like them both so much and think they are both so classy. They both sing their hearts out and you can feel that they are feeling it when singing a ballad.
Yay
We did it besides the one that were trashing her, we did it. A big hug to you all die hard Carrie fans, thank you so much for supporting her, she really deserve the award.
Yay Carrie Entertainer of the Year, congrats girl.
CONGRATULATIONS, CARRIE.
Congrats, Carrie, on your double win tonight, should have been triple with album, but at least you got the two big ones you were up for. You rightly deserve Entertainer of the Year Award. Keep up the excellent job.
Congrats! I have a somewhat unrelated question...
First of all, congratulations are in order for the entertainer of the year award and for an amazing performance tonight! I'm not sure who reads these from Carrie's camp, but possibly fellow fans can help me as well! I'm trying to locate something. I was watching Carrie perform "I Told You So" tonight on the ACM awards. She did an amazing and inspiring job and I thought the dress was jaw-dropping amazingness! However, during the performance I was distracted by her necklace. It looked just like the one my husband gave me while we were dating! It was the first necklace he ever gave me and I treasured it so much--no man had ever bought me anything that beautiful before. I very recently lost it while I was traveling...It completely broke my heart. I've spent hours searching for it to no avail. I've called everywhere I went, moved furniture, and practically reupholstered the car looking for it. While there is a loss of sentimental value, my husband and I have been looking for a similar one as a replacement--I at least want to show my future daughters/ granddaughters what the necklace looked like. It had three swirls and a heart in the middle of the bottom swirl. White gold and diamonds. Does anyone know who the jeweler was or know where I can find a similar one? It's of very strong importance to me! Please send me a message and let me know!
CONGRADS!!!!!
Yee-Haw!! Congrads on the two wins but especially of the entertainer of the year.
But what was that thing she was wearing when she sang that solo -- a tent? We need to hang the person who convinced here to wear that. It seemed it needed wheels to move it. Also when she sang "I Told You So" I've heard her sing it better. Must have been nervous.
Congrads!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carrie is THE ENTERTAINER!!!!! And will be for years to come. Congratulations
I have watched and followed her career from the day she walked on to A.I. and thought
she had an amazing voice ontop of being gorgeous along with it. I hope she will stay
true to herself and fans, and always be genuine. America will Love her Forever!!!!!!

You are AN AMAZING ENTERTAINER and truly deserved the award.
You are beautiful, great singer and a good role model for all the youths.
I recorded the entire show and can't help myself but to keep watching the last part (EOTY award) over and over and over again before I went to bed.
I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU and was in tears the whole time you giving your speech.
What an amazing achievement!!!!!

Such A True Real Person
Carrie... you rock. I don't know how to put it in any other words. You are my hero. You totally deserve it. You stood your ground! Me and all the other Carebears out there are more then proud to be fans.
And I KNOW I can say that on behalf of all the Carrie Fans. You will always have our support. I loved the tears of joy. It's amazing to see how real they were. I almost hit the ceiling when they said your name. My dad said you'd never win, so when you were going up to that stage, I had to tell him "I told you so."
God Blessed You Carrie. We all love you!!! No Matter What!
CARRIE UNDERWOOD FOREVER!!

I screamed when they said her name for EOTY, I was so happy. Carrie, you 1000% deserved to win that award. Way to go fans, thanks for voting! Carrie, I am so proud of everything you've accomplished, this is such an honor for you. I went to bed last night with tears in my eyes I was so happy for you. You're performance was breathtaking, all I could say was WOW at the end of it. Also, congrats on winning Female Vocalist. You are my inspiration and my role model, thank you for everything you've done in the country music industry and so much more. You are not only my Entertainer of the Year, but also my favorite singer ever in the history of music!! Oh, and I loved your boots comment to Matthew
<3 your biggest fan
Congratulations on your Big Win, Carrie!!
I nearly fell out of my chair when they announced your name for Entertainer of the Year....I was so excited and happy for you!!
Not only for winning, but also for being the first female country artist to even be nominated in that category in soo many years - it must truly be an honor for you.
I even cried myself while watching and listening to you give your speech.
You have accomplished so much since American Idol and you are an inspiration to alot of people....including me. You truly deserved to win and I am very happy for you.
I have watched you since your auditions on American Idol and I must say the thing I love most about you other than your amazing voice, is that you have always stayed true to yourself and who you are - not only as an artist but as a person, and you have never forgotten those that helped you get to where you are today.
Your music, your voice and you yourself are truly an inspiration and I wish you continued success in all you do.
Yours Truly,
Mandy

I have wached you since American Idol and voted for you all the way. You have become such a Superstar but you have maintained your down to earth and All american Girl character. I was so pround when you won Top Female vocalist and i was as shocked as you when you won Enertainer Of The Year. I sat on the edge of my chair saying your name over and over again then when your name was announced I almost fainted. Congratulations and keep staying true to who you are and may God keep blessing you.Tell your Mom she raised you right.
Congrats!!!!!!!
Congrats, Carrie!!!
The EOTY acceptance speach was one of the best I have ever seen on any awards show.
I LOVED the scream and spin at end.
Carrie Your The Best
Carrie,
Congratulations!
You deserve it!
Please always stay the feminine woman you are!
I have watched you since you first appeared on American Idol but because I live in Canada I wasn't. able to vote for you. I did however predict from day one that you would go on and win it all. You have become such a wonderful Superstar but you have maintained your down to earth All American Girl character. I am so proud of you. Top Female vocalist and Entertainer Of The Year. Congratulations and keep up the great work. Stay true to who you are and may God bless you. I hope one day you will come to Calgary and put a show on for your fans here.
Thanks Carrie
