Beauties in Bikinis

1. Carrie Underwood

This was just a lazy day poolside for Carrie Underwood, but she’s looking too hot to cool off in this tan bikini photo. The singer is known for eating healthy as a vegetarian, and her exercise regimen keeps her toned during long stretches on the road. We learn something else about Underwood from this photo: she has a tattoo. Fellas, don’t bump your head on the computer monitor looking at it.

2. Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift and friends hit up her Rhode Island digs over the July 4th holiday in 2013 and took plenty of pictures to share with fans. In addition to some fun playing pool and lounging around her mega-home, Swift sported this red and white bikini. The bottoms are high-waisted (as is her style), and with the complementary hat, she pulls off a sassy vintage look while showing some skin. Classy and a little sexy … that’s Swift in a nutshell.

3. Martina McBride

LeAnn Rimes and Julianne Hough are just the icing on the cake of this magazine cover, which shows Martina McBride wearing a shimmery gold bikini. The then-43-year-old singer stunned fans with her rockin’ beach bod — credit a healthy diet for her good looks and muscle tone. The singer sets a good example for her three daughters while proving she can keep up with the younger stars of today in more ways than one.

4. Kellie Pickler

Kellie Pickler has shared photos of herself in a bikini with followers on Twitter. In fact, she’s never really been shy about showing off her figure. Why should she? A sexy spread in Maxim magazine caught the attention of those men who hadn’t yet made up his mind about her beauty. She sings, she writes, she’s an advocate for cancer and animal charities … and she keeps her body looking good. When does this woman sleep?

5. Faith Hill

Faith Hill posed for Shape magazine in December 2008 and still looks just as stunning today. The singer, wife, and mother of three shows off her rock-hard abs in this sporty bikini and coverup. The ‘Mississippi Girl’ truly does it all, all while setting a good example for daughters Grace, Maggie and Audrey.

6. Lauren Alaina

Did you know that Lauren Alaina has a bellybutton ring? That’s the ‘Georgia Peaches’ signer and two of here gal-pals enjoying fun in the sun. Alaina worked hard to tone up and slim down after her run on ‘American Idol,’ and the result is a bikini bod that’s deserving of a second or third look. If this were 1994, we’d give her a great big “You go girl!”

7. LeAnn Rimes

People tend to notice when LeAnn Rimes walks the beach in this pink — okay, any — bikini. You won’t find a country star more willing to show off her well-toned bod in front of the paparazzi. In fact, you’ll frequently find Rimes posting her own bathing suit pics on Twitter. Look closely and you’ll see a tattoo peeking out of the top of her bikini bottoms. She has another on her foot which, shockingly, doesn’t get as much attention.

8. Hayden Panettiere

‘Nashville‘ actress and ‘Telescope’ singer Hayden Panettiere shows she’s quite the bombshell in this bikini photo from her official Twitter account. It’s not clear who the lucky guy next to her is, but we’re positive he wasn’t the only one to want to pull a chaise lounger alongside her at this beachy hot spot. Men will be lining up for hours to rub Factor 30 on her sexy shoulders. Read More: Hayden Panettiere in a Bikini | http://tasteofcountry.com/hayden-panettiere-bikini/?trackback=tsmclip

9. Gretchen Wilson

The ‘Redneck Woman’ is red hot and ready for summer in this bikini and jean shorts set. Carrie Underwood might be known for the best legs in country music, but Gretchen Wilson lays claim to the flattest stomach. The dog tags and belt buckle are a great way to accessorize this country girl look.

10. Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is looking very ’80s here — on purpose. This neon purple bikini is from the ‘Rock of Ages’ movie she starred in, playing as Sherrie Christian in 2012. The movie was set in the time of hair bands and high waistlines, but this singer is still smokin’, even retro. When you dedicate your life to dance, you tend to have a little muscle tone. Hough would look great in any decade.
