School / College / University

She attended Checotah High School in Oklahoma, where she graduated as the salutatorian of the class of 2001. Known for being focused and dedicated, she balanced academics with her love for music during those years.

After high school, Carrie studied at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, earning a B.A. in Mass Communication with an emphasis in Journalism. She graduated magna cum laude and was active on campus as a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Carrie also showed her stage skills by performing in the university’s Downtown Country show and even finished as the runner-up for Miss NSU.

Religion

Growing up in Oklahoma, she started singing in her local church, where gospel songs and hymns laid the foundation for the powerhouse voice the world knows today.

As her career grew, so did her openness about Christianity. Songs like “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Something in the Water” turned personal belief into mainstream anthems, and in 2021 she leaned fully into that side of her artistry with My Savior, a collection of hymns close to her heart. Carrie has admitted that talking about faith in the entertainment industry can be tricky, but she’s never shied away from it.
