News - Carrie Underwood wins 2 CMA awards (2007)

Carrie Underwood won Female Vocalist of the Year honors and her song "Before He Cheats" also captured a 2007 County Music Association Award for Single of the Year during the live broadcast of the ceremony on ABC last November 7, 2007.


"Here I go again... the waterworks have started," said Underwood after she accepted her second-straight Female Vocalist of the Year honor. "God has blessed me with so many wonderful things in my life, and I will spend my entire life trying to figure out why. If you had told me a few years ago that I would be nominated with the same people I've been nominated with, I would have called you absolutely insane... It all started for me with American Idol. Thank you everybody... Just all the great people in country music. You guys are absolutely amazing and I'm so proud to be in this format."

This is the second year in a row Underwood has received multiple CMA award victories. The Idol fourth-season champ won both Female Vocalist of the Year and the Horizon Award, an award given to up-and-coming country stars, during last year's ceremony.
