Still navigating the music industry, Carter discussed the whirlwind that followed her after her American Idol victory.

Then I came back for a few days and then went back to Nashville and came back.” She continued, “Then went to Minneapolis and went to Texas and now I’m back. It’s kind of been a whirlwind. There’s not been a lot of time to breathe, but I’m doing what I love and that makes up for (it).”
Recalling the small amount of vacation she had, Carter concluded, “I think that my vacation was that little week in New York when we were doing different press things (for ‘American Idol’). But I went to Nashville, met with record labels … and then in Minneapolis, I was performing for the Olympic trials and had a lot of fun doing that. Then I spent time with my family in Dallas.”
