The damages to Carrie Underwood’s body weren’t just external — the singer wasn’t able to sing a note after her injury last year.<\/b>
\nShe could \u201cCry Pretty,\u201d but singing pretty was a different story! Carrie Underwood revealed it was \u201cphysically impossible\u201d for her to sing in the wake of her November 2017 facial injury.
\u201cI had wanted to be in the studio sooner than I was, actually recording these songs [on latest album Cry Pretty], but I had stitches inside my mouth, outside my mouth. It was physically impossible,\u201d the 35-year-old told Vulture in a new interview.
\u201cI felt like the differences were more in my head than they were in anybody else\u2019s that would listen to the things I was doing,\u201d Underwood elaborated. \u201cGoing into the studio for the first time, it was a mind game: \u2018Do I sound the same? Is my diction the same? Does my mouth move the same as it did before?\u2019\u201d
Certain consonants gave the American Idol alum pause, she explained: \u201cI would sing something and then look at [producer David Garcia] and be like, \u2018Did that all come out clearly?\u2019 My m\u2019s and b\u2019s and p\u2019s were kind of the issue. And he was like, \u2018I thought it sounded great.\u2019\u201d
Underwood, who is currently pregnant with her second child with husband Mike Fisher, suffered the injury after falling at home in Nashville last November. The laceration required 40 stitches on the singer\u2019s face, and she later showed off her scar on Instagram.
Despite any anxieties about her enunciation, though, the seven-time Grammy winner has come to peace with her evolving sound. \u201cThings change just as you get older; your muscles change,\u201d she told Vulture. \u201cI kind of expect I\u2019m not always going to sound like I\u2019m 22 coming off of American Idol. Hopefully I get better.\u201d
Underwood has been married to Fisher, 38, since 2010. The couple welcomed a son, Isaiah Michael, in February 2015.<\/p>\n
