12/12/2007 Stephen L. Betts   Carrie Underwood is getting ready for what she says is the “first big New Year’s [Eve] I’ve really celebrated” as she takes part in ABC-TV’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2008. Carrie says she’s usually working on New Year’s Eve, so she’s really excited to be a part of the telecast, which will also include performances by Taylor Swift, Akon, Fergie, One Republic, and Plain White T’s. “To be in New York when the ball drops is such a huge spectacle...and so many people,” says Carrie. “I’m gonna be freezing my tail-end off, but I’m really excited about it.” Another event Carrie is excited about is her recent No. 1 single. At an industry-only party in Nashville on Tuesday (12/11), Carrie celebrated the fact that “So Small” is her first single she's had a hand in writing. “I love to listen to the song. I love to sing the song, and I feel very blessed to have had a part in it,” she says.
