'A soul-searching year for me': Carrie Underwood looks back at one of the most difficult years in her life
Carrie Underwood said that 2017 had been "a very soul-searching year for me", and the time she said that she knew people would go look at the obvious: the accidental fall that saw the singer tripping on a stone step outside her Franklin, Tennessee, estate and breaking her tumble with her face, according to E!News.
It was indeed a gut-wrenching fall, and she had a metal plate in her wrist and 40 to 50 stitches holding her face together. There were also times when she wondered that her famous visage may never appear the same way. It was all bad enough for her to pen down lyrics like "I'm pretty good at keeping it together / I hold my composure, for worse or for better / So I apologize if you don't like what you see / But sometimes my emotions get the best of me."
