Carrie Underwood.

Background: Born on the 10th of March 1983 in Checotah, Oklahoma.
Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005. She had no previous vocal training and has now sold millions of records.

Oklahoma: Oklahoma is a state located in the south of America. It is the 20th largest state in America and is located between the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau. Oklahoma is one of America’s most famous states for flora and fauna. 24% of Oklahoma is covered by forests and marshlands, and these areas are home to over 300 vertebrate species. The Ouachita Mountains are home to many animals including the red fox, black bear, river otter, grey fox and many more.

Checotah: Checotah is a city in McIntosh County, United States of America. The latitude of Checotah is 35.47N and the longitude is 95.522W. It is quite a small area compared to the other American cities but has many attractions. These include a Civil War battle site and many antique malls. Checotah is home to Lake Eufaula. This lake was once the largest man made lake in America, with 640 miles of shoreline.
Checotah started as a settlement for the Creek Indians. The Creek Indians originally lived in Alabama but were removed in the 1830’s.
Carrie Underwood is very proud of her home town and she wrote a song about Checotah. The song is on her Album ‘Some Hearts’ and is called ‘I Ain’t in Checotah Anymore’.
The lyrics are as follows and I think they show the cultural differences between Checotah and the other American cities.
