Carrie Underwood’s “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round”
Wraps Stellar Week in Canada
Carrie Graces Cover of Redbook’s November “Giving” Issue
NASHVILLE, Tenn – (October 17, 2016) – Carrie Underwood’s “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round” played three arena shows across Canada last week and is back in the U.S. tonight for a sold-out concert at St. Paul, Minnesota’s Xcel Energy Center. Afterward, Carrie returns to Nashville for the CMT “Artists of the Year” special which premieres this Thursday, October 20 at 8PM ET/PT.
The Storyteller Tour has received rave reviews since its launch in January and the Canadian shows were no different. “She came in like a wrecking ball…destroying the crowd of about 10,000-plus with a string of scorching numbers,” said the Edmonton Journal, continuing, “Underwood’s bold voice and down-to-earth personality were the real gifts of the night, giving us electrifying moments of rock ‘n’ roll sass and country farm.” The Saskatoon Star Phoenix claimed “Underwood owned the stage,” and The Winnipeg Free Press called it “a bombastic spectacle that made the arena feel small,” adding “she worked every inch of her 360 stage…Everything about this show was big: the stage, the lights, the thunderous backing band, that voice.”
And hitting the newsstands this week are Carrie and her rat terrier pup, Ace, gracing the cover of Redbook’s November “Giving” issue. In the feature story, she discusses life with toddler Isaiah on tour and many of her charitable endeavors including her C.A.T.S. (Checotah Animal, Town, and School) Foundation in her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma, the donation of concert ticket proceeds to several causes, and her partnership with the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation Sports Matter Program to grant $500,000 to girls’ youth sports, to name a few. Underwood’s fitness lifestyle line Calia by Carrie Underwood is sold exclusively at DICK’S Sporting Goods.
