Carrie Underwood Chills at the Beach

We rarely see any candid Carrie Underwood photos and I think that’s partly because of the circle she runs in – it’s in Nashville and not in LA. But, here she is. The bikini-clad singer was spotted catching some rays off the California coast and just chillin’ on the sand — and in the water.

Newsflash: The paparazzi don’t really hang out in Nashville, but I kind of wish they would. I mean, with all the drinking, cheating, and hell-raising that goes on over there, it’s bound to make for some great photography for the pap– if they didn’t get shot and lived to tell about it!
