Carrie Underwood's Lovely London Meet & Greet

Not long after voicing her support for gay marriage, Carrie was the recipient of a ton of backlash, of which she explained to The Associated Press during an interview on Tuesday, "I was asked a difficult question in the last five minutes of an interview and I answered it the best way I knew how, and after that I do what I do and I love making music and I generally try to stay out of any kind of controversy."

However, the 29-year-old country singer doesn't really consider herself a role model, admitting, "The role-model word is really scary to me, because no matter what happens in your life, something you do, wear, say, sing, whatever - somebody somewhere is probably not going to like it too well, I just really try hard to do what I do and try to be nice to people and make great music and if people think they can look up to that, that's wonderful. If not, that's OK too."

Along with a full slate of promotional duties in London this week, Carrie is expected to perform at a sold-out show on Thursday at London's Royal Albert Hall.
