What did Carrie Underwood say about "Two Black Cadillacs"?
Genius Answer

Speaking of the track, Underwood stated:

It was so much fun to write and just be in that room … and we didn’t really know what to expect or where we were headed or what we would end up with. It’s just drama. It’s drama, and it’s dark, but it’s also, you have to listen to the whole thing. You’re sucked in, from the beginning, from the music, and it’s just, you know somethings gonna happen.

Josh lives a few houses down from me. He’s like a mad scientist. He sits at home and comes up with ideas. He had the “two black Cadillacs” idea. It was a little more soulful so it was fun creating the story. Carrie took the video to another level."
