1. Carrie Underwood
Already a star when the decade was born, Underwood has proved herself to be one of the most authentic, hardest-working and creative talents in Country music. An America Idol alumnae, Underwood is living proof that the American dream can come true if you are skilled and lucky enough. Four albums this decade, countless tours, numerous overseas tours, marriage and motherhood have all shaped Underwood into the artist that she currently is. Outside of the music, Underwood is a great philanthropist, supporting numerous charities and organisations and she also promotes Nashville and the Country music industry probably more than any other artist around. Underwood is also one of the few ‘mega-stars’ to speak out in recent times about the role of women in Country music and hasn’t been afraid to put her money where her mouth is by taking out artists like Maddie and Tae and Runaway June on tour with her. Heavily involved with the CMA and the NFL, Underwood is a well deserving winner of Lyric Magazine’s ‘Artist of the Decade’ award.
