At Sunday night\u2019s (Dec. 8) Kennedy Center Honors event, Carrie Underwood was on the red carpet on her way into the show, and stopped to describe one of the night\u2019s honorees Linda Ronstadt in a succinct and flawless 30-second answer. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that I have always admired about her is her ability to do whatever she wants. She always broke the rules and sang music that she felt like was true to her,\u201d Underwood said. \u201cShe was a chameleon. She loved music and she sang so many different kinds and genres. She wanted to sing country music, rock music, she would sing Spanish. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe is just somebody I think the rest of us should all be more like.\u201d<\/p>\n

From her 1967 folk-rock trio the Stone Poneys, Ronstadt, now 73, did always travel to the beat of a different drum. She went on to win 10 Grammy Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards (one for best new female artist, and in 1987, she teamed up with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris for Trio<\/em>, which won album of the year, and she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.<\/p>\n
