Carrie Underwood Celebrates Her Birthday — Born on March 10, 1983
Carrie Underwood became a music sensation by winning American Idol. She proved that victory wasn’t a fluke by releasing a string of hit albums and songs since then. Underwood takes her sweet time between concert tours, but we won’t nitpick that point on March 10, 2023. After all, it’s Underwood’s 40th birthday.
Carrie Underwood was born in Oklahoma on March 10, 1983
Carole and Steve Underwood welcomed their third daughter, Carrie Underwood, on March 10, 1983. Her parents raised their daughters in Checotah, Oklahoma, a small, rural, crossroads town in the eastern part of the state.
She ultimately chose a career in music and found fame because of it, but Underwood had the tools to be succeed in other areas. She graduated near the top of her high school class at Checotah High School. Underwood attended college in Oklahoma and even graduated in 2006, despite already having won American Idol and starting her music career.
Her continued success as a musician makes her an outlier among Idol winners. Kelly Clarkson might be the only other past winner to have an extended show business career. It’s been more than 15 years since she shined on American Idol, but we’d hardly call that Underwood’s peak, despite some Idol winners never going very far after the show.

The boys and I love you so much!!” and included a happy birthday hashtag.
