Posted on by

Carrie Underwood Releases Dramatic Video For Single, “Blown Away”. As was clear from the sneak peak Carrie Underwood released for her new music video last week, “Blown Away” tells quite the dramatic tale. Between her usual powerful vocals and the striking visual elements throughout the video, Underwood proves that she is telling more grown up stories than what she has on her previous albums. Going along with what other country stars are doing, like Miranda Lambert on her latest “Fastest Girl In Town“, Carrie and her creative team took the time to tell a whole story, creating a kind of mini-movie. I wonder if she is interested in branching out into acting too? Watch Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” Now! [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2c9meUp0NY]
