Carrie is a sorority girl.

She's had a text breakup - it's fine.

Skip the chick flicks - this girl likes gore!

Before American Idol, Carrie Underwood had never been on an airplane.

Carrie Underwood is the family's Swarovski sheep.

In high school Underwood would steal hot dogs and lunch meat from her refrigerator and sneak out to feed stray dogs. Aww ... even when she's being bad she's being good! She told Taste of Country all about it prior to the 2016 ACM Awards.

Carrie Underwood is a bit neurotic when it comes to keeping her house in order. "I can't function during the day if I know my bed is not made. It will be all I think about throughout the day until it's actually made," Underwood told Country Weekly. She added, "My refrigerator is extremely organized. Everything is showing the labels and is arranged in perfect rows." She shared this before marrying Mike Fisher. Wonder if he's as dedicated to bed-making? Her son Isaiah definitely is not.

During an interview with Taste of Country, Carrie Underwood admitted she's prone to getting her own songs stuck in her head, and it's embarrassing, "because I sing and I don't realize it if I'm like in the store or something," she said in 2012. "I'll whistle or I'll sing and I don't even realize that sound is being produced from myself. So I do and then I'm horribly embarrassed."

The night of Carrie Underwood's very first date, her father decided to pull out his shotguns for a polish. Fortunately, her mom stood up for the then-16-year-old, but the young man never came calling again.

Southern Living shares that Underwood and Mike Fisher's wedding cost nearly $500,000. They better not have had a cash bar!

During the early stages of American Idol, Carrie Underwood revealed that she once had an extra nipple. "It just looked like a mole," the singer said without hesitation. Years later one wonders if she wishes she hadn't shared that piece of trivia, but the Oklahoman is so humble it likely doesn't bother her.
