This week, Carrie lent her pipes to Linda Ronstadt's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and premiered a new song.

Carrie Underwood represented country when she joined Sheryl Crow and other rock and roll luminaries who paid tribute to Linda Ronstadt at her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Thursday night.

Carrie Underwoood and Crow, who put out her first full country album last year, joined Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Glenn Frey and country legend Emmylou Harris in a musical tribute to Ronstadt, who was one of the first true crossover female superstars of country and rock and roll.

But Carrie told The Inquisitr, that she thinks women like Linda Ronstadt are the exception to the rule in the music industry. She said "We see new male artists have their first single reach No. 1 on the charts, but it generally takes a female a lot longer to build momentum. I know that I am an exception to this, but I [also] know that if I hadn't made my place in country music via 'American Idol,' I probably could have tried to make it for the rest of my life and never made any progress. We're the ones under the microscope We're expected to sound perfect. We're expected to look perfect all the time. We're expected to be style-setters, whereas the boys roll onto the stage in their jeans, T-shirts and baseball caps. I don't know what we all can do to change this. But I do hope it does change. I would love to see more women making their mark in the music that I love so much... There are so many more out there just waiting for their shot. I hope they get it!"
