Unlike the many young celebrities who are “tabloid hungry” and constantly seen at parties and clubs, Carrie Underwood is adamant she will never be one of them.  
In a recent interview with Ok! magazine, Underwood said she is extremely careful about her image, because she knows her fans are watching. She takes being a role model seriously.
"My motto is, I would never want to do anything that would embarrass my own children in the future," the Oklahoma native said.
In addition, Underwood admitted she would never want “to do anything that would make my parents, my role models, disappointed in me.”
Underwood feels blessed with the fame that has come her way ever since she won the fourth season of American Idol. “I literally would not change a thing at all, not the bad stuff. Not Simon [Cowell] ripping me apart on national television, in front of millions and millions of people, because that brought me to where I am now.”
Underwood will host her own Christmas special at 8 p.m. EST on FOX called Carrie Underwood:  An All-Star Holiday Special.
