Carole (née Shatswell) and Steve Underwood gave birth to Carrie Marie Underwood on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. She was reared on her parents’ farm in the surrounding rural town of Checotah with her two elder sisters, Shanna and Stephanie. Her father worked in a paper factory, while her mother was a primary school teacher. During her childhood, Underwood sang in her local church, First Free Will Baptist Church, and performed at the Robbins Memorial Talent Show. She went on to perform at local events such as Old Settler’s Day and the Lions Club in Checotah.

When she was 14, a local fan arranged for her to travel to Nashville to audition for Capitol Records. Capitol Records prepared a deal for Underwood in 1996, but it was terminated when the company’s administration changed. According to Underwood, the event was a success “I honestly believe it is for the best that nothing came of it because I would not have been prepared at the time. Everything works out in the end.”

She was a member of the Honor Society, a cheerleader, and a basketball and softball player at Checotah High School. In 2001, Underwood was salutatorian at Checotah High School. After graduating, she decided not to pursue singing. “She remarked,” she said “After high school, I gave up on my ambition of becoming a singer. I’d arrived at a crossroads in my life when I needed to be practical and plan for my future in the’real world.’ “..

She earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communication with a journalism specialization from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and graduated magna cum laude in 2006. She worked as a page for Oklahoma State Representative Bobby Frame for part of one of her summers. She also worked at a pizzeria, a zoo, and a veterinary clinic as a waitress. Underwood is a member of the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority’s Alpha Iota chapter.

She was a part of Northeastern State University’s Downtown Country performance in Tahlequah for two summers. She competed in a number of beauty pageants throughout her time at the university, and in 2004 she was named Miss NSU runner-up.
