Carrie Underwood ain’t wasting time. After her record breaking “rookie year”, and having been certified quintuple platinum for U.S. shipments of 5 million copies, Carrie is about to get back to the studio, working on her second album.

Carrie had recently told Billboard “We’re getting songs together and writing stuff in the next couple of weeks, because I didn’t really want to jump into anything until we knew what direction we were going in.”

On her involvement in the songwriting: “I would like to. I’m very realistic about the whole situation. I know that some [artists] think they are really awesome writers and they are not — I’m the opposite. I just want to go in and try, and if nothing more, I go in with the writers and they get a sense of what I would like to sing about. I’m looking forward to being more involved, but I’m very realistic that I might not be any good.”

On the idea of being involved in other music styles: “If there were a great collaboration going on, I would definitely be interested, but I really, really like being a part of country music — and hopefully they like having me — so I don’t have any intentions of trying anything else.”

Lastly, she said that she plans on playing a “few dates” over the summer, in between her studio time in order “to keep everybody busy and to keep me fresh in people’s minds. But other than that, your guess is as good as mine.”
