This contrasts to the carrie underwood magazine cover as she is portrayed as very beautiful, friendly and loving. She is shown as caring about her appearance and the use of colours such as pink and purple represent the common sterotypical colours for females to be referred with.The shot type by including Carrie's body shows how society prefers women.
