One might overlook it, but the person next to them just as well could be that young kid, starting out in a small town. Two such kids, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert were once small town girls who no one expected to make it in the big time. Coming from similar backgrounds to the start of their careers, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert share the same kind of love and passion for country music, which shows through their accomplishments and the mark they made through music industry.
