Carrie Underwood Says “Every Woman” Has Met A Cowboy Casanova

Three albums into her career, Carrie Underwood is already a country-music vet, paving the way for ladies like Taylor Swift to find success outside of Nashville. On her latest album, Play On, the “American Idol” alum is proving her songwriting muscle, especially on the sassy first single “Cowboy Casanova.”

“I think to every woman, this song would be telling a story about someone they know or met or has tried to pick them up in a bar,” she said in an interview with CMT. “There’s definitely guys in my past, even if it was a friend’s boyfriend or something.”

Underwood, who has released her fair share of sassy country/pop hits, insists that her song is in no way bashing the title dude. “We’re not trashing this guy; we’re just warning these other girls about him. Who knows, maybe now people can listen to this song and better identify these men,” she said, jokingly adding, “I’m helping women around the world!”

Although Underwood helped write seven of the 13 songs on the album, working with writers like “Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi and Mike Elizondo (Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg), Underwood would rather a song on her album be good than written by her.

“It’s really not that important to me. I love to write, but the best songs win — end of story — whether they’re mine or not,” she said. “There were a couple where I was like, ‘No way’ — and they were my own! You’d think I’d be pushing, but I’m not. There are some awesome songwriters out there.”

Carrie Underwood Hates Twitter

Carrie Underwood is getting ready to release her third studio album Play On on Nov. 3, and her lead single, “Cowboy Casanova,” has already peaked to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #6 on Hot Country Songs. But don’t expect to catch this successful country cutie pulling a Miley and “tweetin’ ’bout pimples.” The conservative Carrie is no fan of the web’s hottest micro-blogging media site.

“It just sounds like organized stalking to me. I talk to my fan club members and I blog, and they know what’s going on,” the crooner scoffed when quizzed about her thoughts on Twitter in an interview with The Boot on Wednesday. “But as far as Twitter, I’ll be in a restaurant and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing,” she added. “In some cases, that could be dangerous, because you don’t want everybody to know where you are every second of every day. It’s a wee bit of an invasion of privacy.”
