Carrie Underwood looked and sounded great at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards over the weekend and it’s not a fluke! We’ve seen Carrie looking great before — well, OK, all the time– and she did manage to take home two CMA awards at the recent award show.

And although Carrie Underwood may be the most popular “American Idol” ever according to a recent poll, she’s got some young and blonde competition on the way — and she answers to the name of Taylor Swift. Taylor took home the award for Best New Female Vocalist.

Carrie Underwood takes time to model a couple of poses at the 2008 CMT Music Awards in a great looking outfit.  The 25-year-old American Idol winner always manages to impress us here at NewsToob.

Anyone that has followed Carrie Underwood and her career from her days on American Idol knows the singer has slimmed considerably since. Carrie admits that she is well aware of the negative things people say about her weight on and off the Internet, and those comments resulted in her making the decision to slim down.

But look at the recent photograph above (click for full photo). Her arms are withering away!

Great American Country:

Carrie Underwood recently shared some of her secrets for staying fit with People magazine: everything in moderation (except maybe cheese) with a lot of cardio. Carrie says when some American Idol viewers were candid in their online postings about her weight, she decided to slim down but didn’t change her diet or fitness routine radically to do so.

“I do work out, but not with a trainer,” she says. “I just do lots of cardio.” And yet, after a whirlwind year (which included lots of awards and a second CD, Carnival Ride), Carrie is in better shape than ever. A longtime vegetarian, she says she watcheswhat she eats but also admits to a weakness for cheese. “I can eat a pound of it,” she says. “It’s a real problem.”

Carrie says she also keeps a snack tucked in her red carpet bags at all times. “I carry [whole-grain] Kashi bars everywhere.”

As most of you already know, the County Music Awards were on TV last night.  Which means there was a lot of singing I had no desire to listen to.  It wasn’t a complete loss though, Carrie Underwood managed to look pretty darn good — and oh yeah, she won a couple things too!  Yeehaw!

Carrie Underwood has been caught holding hands with Chace Crawford, and trying to do it where no one will notice.

“He’s really cute,” Underwood recently told PEOPLE of the 22-year-old Texas-born actor. “I’ve met him and he seems like a really nice guy. He’s got cool hair, he’s a nice height and he just has beautiful blue eyes.”

Carrie’s rep declined to make any comments on the relationship.
