American Idol allowed us to find Carrie Underwood.

You get weird, funny requests on Twitter. With our fan club, I was seeing a lot of fans were having some issue with the way the fan club tickets were being handled in one of the shows. So I was able to correspond with that fan, and be like, 'Listen, we'll be on it.'

Probably fishing is my first passion.

I am just what I am, I'm just what you see. So I'll make it easy, I'll stay me.

I always look back to awards shows and think about being a kid watching them.

Growing up in Georgia, my dad was a farmer and we worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if rain was in the forecast. That always set the tone for the mood in my household, whether we had rain coming in or not - we knew the crops would be good and it was going to be a good week around the Bryan household.

My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.
