Carrie Underwood made this comment in Allure magazine: On money: The Steinway piano she craves? “I have the space. It’s just waiting for the piano, but, you know, they’re expensive!” The SUV she desires? “They’re expensive, too!” She is still driving around in the Mustang she won on American Idol. “But what if I don’t…
