Here's the paragraph where Carrie is mentioned:
"Moore, who moved to Nashville from Muscle Shoals, Ala., in 2002, made his mark first in the Contemporary Christian community, transitioning to country music after an executive at BMG’s music publishing division encouraged him to. Moore’s first country cut was “Breaking,” an album track on the Swon Brothers' self-titled LP in 2014, followed by “Mexico,” an album cut on Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller LP in 2015."
I believe it makes more sense why Carrie included the song on her album. It was co-written by one minority songwriter and one female musician who's also part of the Song Suffragettes. Apart from the song's melody and style appealing to her, she probably also wanted to support these otherwise overlooked writers and singers.
