Carrie Underwood is celebrating her 36th year of life with yet another song nearing the Top 10 on the country charts with "Love Wins" off of her Cry Pretty album.

Carrie even teased the album's name in a video post about the Bachelor yesterday posting, "@ColtonUnderwood #NoRelation @bachelorabc #Repost @bachelorabc
#TheBachelorFinale may leave you ugly crying, but that's okay because you can't cry pretty."

“Musically with this song, just the more it was like building, it just felt so right to have a choir on it," she says of "Love Wins." "There’s something, and you can overdo it for sure, and you can needlessly put a choir on a song, but…there’s something that’s heavenly about it and how it all comes out and you’re like, ‘Ahhhhh.’ There’s just something that makes my heart jump when I hear this. Yeah, a choir just felt right.”

Underwood kicks off her "Cry Pretty Tour" on May 1 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
