Target Delivers Exclusive Carrie Underwood DVD

MINNEAPOLIS -- Target is offering guests a very special music and video package from two-time GRAMMY Award winner Carrie Underwood. Available in Target stores and at Target.com at $13.98, the October 23 release of Carnival Ride, Underwood's new 19 Recordings/Arista Records/Arista Nashville album, will feature bonus DVD footage available exclusively at Target. Included with the 13-track album will be a DVD weaving interview footage with live, acoustic performances of
four new album songs, including Underwood's latest Top 5 single, "So Small."

"I have really enjoyed the process of putting together this new album,"
says Underwood. "I spent more time writing and recording songs for Carnival
Ride, and I am so proud of what we've created. Thanks, Target, for helping
me give my fans a more intimate look into my music."

"Carrie's fans have been waiting for a new album for close to two
years," says Sue Peterson, Senior Music Buyer, Target. "We are delighted to
partner with Carrie and provide her fans with behind the scenes looks at
her new album only at Target."

Carnival Ride is the second album from the reigning ACM and CMA Female
Vocalist and follows the phenomenal success of her ACM Award-winning Album
of the Year, Some Hearts, which launched five #1 singles and is certified
for sales of six million copies. Released in November 2005, Some Hearts
spent a remarkable 27 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart,
holding that position across multiple weeks in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and
establishing Underwood as a new force in country music with legions of fans
across the country. With SoundScan sales in excess of 1.3 million copies
this year alone, Some Hearts remains the best-selling country album of
2007.
