At Home With Carrie Underwood: The Playlist
Just like the neighbour who hangs up the Christmas lights before anyone else, Carrie Underwood jumped early into the holiday spirit with the release of her seventh studio album My Gift. “I feel like I've been celebrating Christmas all year,” the country mainstay tells Apple Music about keeping herself optimistic in spite of this year’s challenges. “We persevered, and created some stuff that I'm really proud of. And for me and for my own mental and emotional well-being, it was great getting to go into the studio and sing these uplifting songs. It made me feel happy.” This exclusive Apple Music playlist curated by Underwood herself contains some of her favourite tracks from My Gift to get you back into that festive mood, represented here alongside other non-holiday choice cuts from the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, NF, Foo Fighters and Chris Stapleton. “He's kind of the anti-country star,” Underwood says of the latter. “He has this incredible voice. You feel everything that he's saying, and then couple that with how he's so honest and says things simply, but to the point.”
