When Carrie Underwood stepped forward to sing “I Will Always Love You” at Dolly Parton’s tribute, she took on one of the most iconic and vocally demanding songs in music history. And what a song to take on!

Known for her powerhouse voice, incredible range, and ability to deliver those jaw-dropping high notes, Carrie had a song that demanded everything she could give. Every phrase needed control.
