Carrie Underwood is the latest star to tackle Dolly Parton's classic song "I Will Always Love You," and she totally nailed it.

Underwood, who turned 33 on March 10, recently stopped by the "Bobby Bones Show ," where she blessed us all with a gorgeous rendition of the song, which became immensely popular thanks to Whitney Houston.

The "American Idol" alum mixes equal parts of Parton's country twang with Houston's soulful ballad along with a healthy dose of her own unique talent. The result will give you goosebumps. Just watch and listen for yourself:

Of course, this isn't Underwood's first attempt at the 1974 track. She's performed it at her concerts in the past -- including during this year's Storyteller Tour -- and she sang the tune with Ms. Parton herself back in 2009. So yeah, she's had a little practice.
