4 Times Carrie Underwood Showed Emotional Intelligence

Carrie suffered a terrifying accident that left her with a broken wrist. The singer also needed surgery to get back in one piece. The country star took time to heal from the nightmare experience, but many fans thought she was withdrawing from the world.

However, Carrie took the time to put her heart into her emotional and revealing single, Cry Pretty. Although the singer was going through hell, she knew that her pain would serve a greater purpose if she used it to encourage her fans. This was not just business as usual for the singer. It was emotional intelligence at its peak.

Carrie's song would easily take a chunk of the spotlight, but the singer knows better than to take all the credit. So rather than revel in the glory of her single, Cry Pretty, Carrie chose to extend the spotlight to her female co-writers whose difficulties and similar experiences impacted the song.

"I wrote it with three incredible women: Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose, and Lori McKenna, who also write under the name Love Junkies," Carrie wrote in a letter to fans on her blog. "I joined one of their writing sessions last year to see if we could come up with some magic…and we did!"

Carrie hopes that others who are going through a difficult period or finding it difficult to accept their sensitive side will find comfort in the song. With different experiences as the song's backbone, fans can know they are not alone in their pain.

Carrie's performances are not just geared to entertain her fans. Instead, the singer takes each moment to connect and create magic with her listeners. Her first performance after her injury was special and memorable. 

The beautiful and talented singer cried on stage as she sang her heart out in an emotionally charged hall. Fans adored seeing Carrie embrace the message of her song based on the absurdly lengthy 39-second standing ovation she received.

Not only did her fans see that she embraced her song's message, but they also felt a connection with her. 

The country crooner has shown that she feels the pains of others and ensures her actions put a smile on their faces. Carrie prefers to give back to society from the much she has been blessed with and has used her music to raise funds for charity. 

Carrie raised over $112,000 for the nonprofit organization "Save the Children," through her virtual concert, "My Saviour: Live From The Ryman."

Carrie was accurate in what she said in Cry Pretty. Even though one may not be able to cry pretty, they can still do so fearlessly and pull off the comeback of a lifetime. Carrie has indeed proven that she is emotionally savvy.
