\"For me, personally, getting to be in a room with Dolly and Reba ... those are two women that taught me how to do what I do,\" Underwood said. \"Looking forward, I want girls to be watching this at home and seeing all of us on that stage and getting inspired in thinking, 'I could do that too. I want to be a part of that.'\"

\"I'm always nervous for the first five minutes and then it's like, 'OK, this is just fun,'\" Underwood said. \"The audience is just great ... you get a good energy back and it's Nashville. It's our home.\"
