Star Tribune photo by Marlin Levison How cold was it at Mystic Lake Casino amphitheater Saturday night for Carrie Underwood? So cold that Mystic sold out of blankets -- $6 each -- in no time. All 300 blankets. So cold that Underwood had to reach into her closet to pull out what she called a "holey sweater." So cold that Underwood could have sold lots of hoodies and long-sleeve T's if she'd had them at her merchandise booth. (By the by, Mystic is not allowed to sell clothing at concerts; artists are, though.) Once Underwood channeled one-time duet partner Steven Tyler ("it's not like we're BFFs. I met him that day [of the ACM Awards] and I haven't talked to him since. I totally have his number in my phone. I haven't used it. I'm terrified"), she became a true winner, as my review stated, and not in an "American Idol" kind of way. Here is her set list from Mystic Lake: Cowboy Casanova/ Quitter/ Wasted/ I Know You Won't/ Some Hearts/ Flat on the Floor/ Temporary Home/ All-American Girl/ We're Young and Beautiful/ So Small/ Undo It/ Jesus Take the Wheel > How Great Thou Art/ What Can I Say (with Sons of Sylvia, opening act)/ Change/ I Told You So (Randy Travis) / Mama's Song/ Last Name ENCORE Walk This Way (Aerosmith) > Paradise City (Guns N' Roses)/Before He Cheats/ Songs Like This

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
