Carrie Underwood has many famous songs, one of which being "All-american Girl", which is included in this advertisement and phrases can be heard in the background such as “his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect All-American girl”. Hearing these words can create a sentimental feeling for many women as they envision a little girl growing up with a strong bond to her father as she meets the ups and downs of life. As Underwood speaks about the product, she speaks right to the audience in a genuine and passionate manner, which is convincing because it seems as if she really uses the brand herself and is not just relaying her lines. This technique is used because it rids advertisements of the sense that everything is simply an illusion and it instead promotes a sense of realism similar to that mentioned by Jack Solomon in his essay "Masters of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising”. Specifically, he refers to a technique popular in the 80’s where advertisers,“attempt to convince you that what you're seeing is the real thing, that the ad is giving you the straight dope, not advertising hype” (Solomon, 412). The sentimental song lyrics combined with Underwood’s seemingly sincere praise for the brand are able to successfully target consumers who are drawn toward the country music
