Happy 38th birthday, Carrie Underwood! The singer was born on this date, March 10, in 1983, in Muskogee, Okla.
Underwood is the youngest of three girls born to Stephen and Carole Underwood. From an early age, the now-country superstar showed a propensity toward music and performed frequently at her family's church, the First Free Will Baptist Church, as well as at events in her hometown of Checotah, Okla.
"I had a very happy childhood, full of the wonderful, simple things that children love to do," Underwood says. "Growing up in the country, I enjoyed things like playing on dirt roads, climbing trees, catching little woodland creatures and, of course, singing."
