ALBUMS: Blown Away #8 United Kingdom (now #7) #22 Ireland #24 United Kingdom #45 United States #54 Canada #85 Australia #112 Ireland
Carnival Ride #221 Romania #257 United Kingdom
SONGS: "Blown Away" #143 United Kingdom #243 United States #290 Canada

(Fans who've heard Carrie "critics" repeatedly point out the USA-only meme will understand)

I don't get the shy thing at all. She is coming across as confident, intelligent, witty, and very classy. She's doing a wonderful job overseas and I couldn't be more proud. See, all she needed was the push. <3
INCREDIBLE BA performances, btw. Her voice is in top form. The 'Loose Women' one is my favorite yet.
PS: 'Blown Away' has ben C-Listed on Radio 2! Hopefully radio one adds it. -_-

AP video from the album showcase held in London last night:
She performed the title track, "Good Girl," "Wine After Whiskey," "Two Black Cadillacs" & "Before He Cheats."
And, yeah, that Loose Women performance was incredible.

I'm surprised she's performing "BA" so much in the UK, especially in more of an acoustic fashion. The lyrics and production don't seem as UK-friendly as, say, "Good Girl."

Is she gonna perform BA non-acoustic while in the UK, or is her time there over?

I'm pretty sure her show at Royal Albert Hall is her last stop in the UK this time around. She tours Australia in a little over a week.

I was there and was able to get a signed copy and a picture... and also got to give her a present: Havaianas sandals with a little brazilian flag... she didn't have time to open it but when I described it, her smile got even bigger and she thanked me... and when I said I came all the way over from Brazil, she said "wow", her eyes grew bigger and thanked again!!
for those who hadn't had the chance to be face to face with her, cannot graps the idea of how INCREDIBLY beautiful and nice she is... I've loved her since first AI audition, but yesterday, it just got stronger... and there's the meet and greet for the concert today... I'm gonna ask her what she thought of the sandals and take a more proper picture, hopefully...
Also, does anyone know how Meet & Greet works?? do we get to film, how long usually do we get to talk to her and stuff like that??

Also, does anyone know how Meet & Greet works?? do we get to film, how long usually do we get to talk to her and stuff like that?? Meet & Greets are pretty quick, but you do get the chance to make small talk. My first time meeting Carrie was at a meet & greet during the Play On Tour, and I walked up to her, shook her hand and then made small talk with her as she signed my poster. Then we took our picture. It was short, probably 2 minutes or so. But yeah, there is enough time to actually make a short conversation with her. My meet & greet with her at the Blown Away Listening Party back in April was much better, because we got more time with her since there was only about 20 or so of us and it was a very casual setting. The main thing I didn't like about my meet & greet during the tour was that there were so many of us cramped in such a small room, and everyone could hear every word exchanged between Carrie and myself so I didn't really get to say all that I wanted to. We were allowed to bring a camera for our photo with her, but I don't know about video cameras...

Wow! I had this feeling that she would do a british song, but Fix You comes as a surprise to me. Can't wait.
And it's nice to see she's still keepink IKYW on the setlist. What does it say on the one before? Change?

This better be filmed and aired on national TV, or at least released as a DVD. That's one EPIC setlist.

Just left the Royal Albert Hall! Amazing! Such an epic show, it's crazy how good Carrie is.. 100 minute set list and she was near flawless the entire time.. Tho maybe it was just be, but it seemed like she mucked up a little on Cowboy Cassanova.. Or maybe the mic was too far from her mouth

Carrie finally spoke out on the comparisons against Taylor. Don't know where the quotes came from (I'm sure someone can help me out on this one), but it surfaced on Tumblr. And that's all that needs to be said. Oh, and the US setlist needs to include See You Again, Wine After Whiskey, and Good in Goodbye. No exceptions, my dear Carrie. SO excited to see videos from the concert! Especially of Fix You My heart fell to the floor when I read that it was on the setlist! Ah!
