Carrie Underwood wasn't sure America was ready for her to smash headlights and slash tires - lyrically, that is. The award-winning performer, 42, admitted that she wrestled with fear prior to recording "Before He Cheats," the fiery 2000s anthem that defined her early career, in a new interview published on Wednesday, January 21. "I remember even when we were talking about recording that song, it was kind of like, 'Oh, is this too aggressive?'" Underwood, 42, told People while attending the Nashville American Idol season 9 press line.
