LONDON: Singing a live-streamed concert in London, seven-time Grammy award winning American country singer Carrie Underwood said she thinks her style of music knows no boundaries because it’s about “real people” everywhere.

“I definitely get that country music has most of its culture in the (United) States and in the southern part of the States. But we sing about real people and real stories and people that work hard, and I feel like that’s universal,” Underwood told Reuters on Monday night at London’s Roundhouse music venue.

“So country music has evolved a lot over the decades and I feel like there’s a lot of artists like myself that are just working hard to break stereotypes and just bring good music to everybody,” Underwood said before stepping on stage to perform for the live-streamed Apple Music Festival.

Underwood, 32, rose to fame after winning the musical talent contest “American Idol” in 2005. After her debut album “Some Hearts” was voted the top country album of the past decade by trade publication Billboard, she said she’d felt under pressure for the follow-up, but now has her career in hand.

“I felt like there was a lot of pressure on my second album, and like my first headlining tour. There’s certain things that have been in my career that I felt like I was just needing them to work,” she said.
