Carrie Underwood opens up about love, fame and "American Idol" in her "Behind the Music" special airing at 8 p.m. Sunday on VH1, cable 54.

In the special, Oklahoma's country star will talk about the challenges of sudden fame, auditioning for and winning Fox's "American Idol" and her search for love which eventually led to her marriage to hockey player Mike Fisher, according to VH1.

The Checotah native's "Blown Away" made history last spring by debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart and at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.

She will co-host the CMA Awards with Brad Paisley Nov. 1 on ABC, has earned her seventh nomination as "Female Vocalist of the Year" and is performing on her "Blown Away" tour. The tour will bring her to Oklahoma City Oct. 25 and Tulsa's BOK Center Nov. 21.


The five-time Grammy winner, a two-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, a three-time Country Music Association and ACM Female Vocalist winner will also perform on "VH1 Presents: Carrie Underwood Unplugged" at 3 p.m. Oct. 2 on VH1.com and 6 p.m. on VH1, cable 54.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
