• Carrie Underwood Donates Concert Proceeds to a Worthy Cause

    Posted: Nov 12, 2012

    Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away Tour” rolled into Atlantic City, New Jersey this weekend, and Carrie rolled out some big news for concert goers of the Hurricane Sandy-ravaged city.

    The country megastar announced during the show that she would be donating all concert proceeds to storm relief efforts.

    “You know, after something like this, you wonder whether the show should go on,” Carrie said. “We thought, this building was still here, so it must be here for a reason.”

    On every tour stop, Carrie has been donating $1 of every ticket sold to the American Red Cross, but this weekend she took the donations a step further.

    “I wouldn’t feel right making any money off of tonight’s show,” she said. “So anything I make is going right back into the community here.”

    After the show, Carrie took to Twitter keep up the love for AC.

    “Thank you beautiful Atlantic City! You all made my year,” she posted. “You have been through so much and still rocked the house! I leave in awe! Thanks!”

    Carrie’s next stop on tour is tomorrow night in College Station, Pennsylvania.
