  • Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

  • Chris Young Preps for Watershed Fest with Playlist of Fellow Country Superstars: Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks & More
    (8.2.19) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8525968/chris-young-watershed- festival-playlist CHRIS YOUNG PREPS FOR WATERSHED FEST WITH PLAYLIST OF FELLOW COUNTRY SUPERSTARS: CARRIE UNDERWOOD, GARTH BROOKS & MORE More than 13 years into his career, Chris Young has shared the stage with several of country's biggest names, from Garth Brooks to Carrie Underwood. This weekend (Aug. 2-4) will be no different for the country star, as he's performing at Washington's Watershed Festival alongside Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band and Maren Morris. Young will take the fest's main stage tonight (Aug. 2), just before headliner Miranda Lambert and her Pistol Annies. To get amped for his latest festival appearance, Young put together a playlist that celebrates those who have played a role in helping him become the main-stage performer he is today. "I wanted to make a playlist that gave a nod to everyone I have toured with over the years," Young says. "I picked 18 songs by a bunch of artists that have given me an opening spot - and threw in a few of mine for fun." Young picked two of his favorite hits from nine of his fellow country superstars, including Tim McGraw's "Real Good Man," Lambert's "Kerosene" and Montgomery Gentry's "Hillbilly Shoes." And though the crooner's catalog features a handful of romantic tunes, he opted for two of his more party- starting anthems, "Raised on Country" and "Aw Naw." Whether or not you're headed to Watershed this weekend (tickets are still available here), Young's playlist will help you get in the country zone.
