Carrie Underwood has been touring for the past two decades and has amassed quite the library of hits to choose from when it comes time to make her nightly setlists.

Underwood explains her dilemma during a press-conference in a media room in Nashville, saying “The hardest part of touring is figuring out what songs you’re not going to do.”

She notes that “Finding that perfect balance of just enough new stuff and obviously the ones that people expect to hear, but I always get sad, I’m like ‘Aww, we’re not gonna do that one?'”

Surely there are some fans of Underwood’s out there that would not mind one bit if the singer went rogue and sang all of her songs on stage for four hours straight, but it doesn’t seem like she’s that kind of artist.
