Carrie Underwood may be the most guarded and private country music star we've ever been around.  Over the years, the best way to describe it is she loves the fame and adoration, but is very uncomfortable with it and its cost to her privacy.

To give you a couple of examples of the opposite, we've never met anyone who loved being who they were more than Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks.  They are TOTALLY comfortable in their own skin(s) and with all the trappings that come with their success.

Anyway, you could have knocked me over when I saw Carrie on CBS Sunday Morning sharing some pretty intimate and heartbreaking facts of her life in the last couple of years.

Check it out.
