Wednesday (April 11) is when\u00a0Carrie Underwood<\/a>\u2019s highly anticipated new single \u201cCry Pretty\u201d hit shelves.\u00a0Ahead of that she shared with her fans a little update as to what has been going on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

In a very personal letter to her fan club, Underwood shares a little bit of everything that has been happening in her 2018 so far.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A health update:<\/strong>
\n\u201cFirst off, physically, I\u2019m doing pretty darn good these days! My wrist is almost back to normal, about 90 percent there\u2026and the docs say that last 10 percent will come in time. And my face has been healing pretty nicely as well. I definitely feel more like myself than I have in a while. One of the silver linings for me in this healing process is the time I\u2019ve gotten to spend with Mike and Isaiah. I\u2019ve been calling it \u2019forced relaxation.’\u201d<\/p>\n

A little Nashville Predators love:<\/strong>
\n\u201cSometimes I think things happen in order to make us slow down. It also means I\u2019ve been home to support my favorite hockey player coming out of retirement! I hope you\u2019re all ready for more silly posts of me at Preds\u2019 playoff games! One more run for the Cup! Go Preds! And speaking of the Predators, I would definitely like to thank you all for making \u2019The Champion,\u2019 such a success (see what I did there?)! I\u2019ve been so touched seeing how people around the world have been inspired by it and have shared their personal \u201cchampion\u201d stories and photos and videos. The song has become so meaningful to so many people, myself included, in ways I could never have imagined when I wrote it last year. I\u2019ve always been a fan of Ludacris and getting to work with him has made me a die-hard fan for life. What an incredible talent! You guys will definitely have to help me out by singing his part when we play it on the road!\u201d<\/p>\n

A little intel on new music:<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe other thing I\u2019ve been up to over the past few months is, of course, making new music. I\u2019ve been in the studio writing and singing a TON, but I\u2019ve also been able to be creative in a way that I\u2019ve never been before, which has been very fulfilling and empowering. While I was writing last year, I met a writer\/producer named David Garcia. We hit it off in a big way and I\u2019m excited to say that we are co-producing my album together. I\u2019ve always been lucky to have a voice in the writing and recording process, but this is the first time I am this involved in the production of my music. It\u2019s been challenging and incredibly rewarding to be involved in every aspect from start to finish. David has been an amazing teacher and partner, and I\u2019m so proud of what we have created.\u201d<\/p>\n

How \u201cCry Pretty\u201d came to be:<\/strong>
\nThe first single is a song I love so much and can\u2019t wait to share with you. It\u2019s called \u201cCry Pretty,\u201d and I wrote it with three incredible women: Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose and Lori McKenna, who also write under the name Love Junkies. I joined one of their writing sessions last year to see if we could come up with some magic\u2026and we did! The title refers to when emotions take over and you just can\u2019t hold them back. It really speaks to a lot of things that have happened in the past year and I hope when you hear it, you can relate those feelings to those times in your life. It\u2019s emotional. It\u2019s real. And it ROCKS! It comes out TOMORROW at 6 a.m. ET, and I\u2019m so excited I\u2019ll be performing it live on the ACM Awards this weekend, so I hope you\u2019ll all tune in to see it!<\/p>\n

Underwood will perform \u201cCry Pretty\u201d on Sunday night (April 15) at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
