COVER STORY: Carrie Underwood

American Idol winner Carrie Underwood has come a long way since sweeping the season four competition. The understated blond sits down with ELLE to retrace her path from Oklahoma country girl to Grammy award-winning chart topper. Underwood opens up about the rumor that she’s dating Olympian Michael Phelps (“I never met the guy! I’m sure he’s lovely. He made America proud! That was one of those completely, totally, utterly fabricated lies that came out of nowhere”), why she tries to keep her love life out of the public eye (“If I say I am or I’m not, as soon as this magazine comes out, it might be the opposite of what I tell you now. In three months, it’ll be ‘Carrie said she’s not dating anybody,’ yet last night, I was out on the town with some guy. He’s going to get mad at me. Everybody’s going to think I’m a liar. It’s just best not to go there”) and opens up about her comment that a taken Tony Romo still calls her (“It was just something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or to stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama. At all. I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl. So I can definitely see where she would be coming from. But I haven’t talked to him since, like, May”).
