Time honors their 100 and select a guest writer to share thoughts about each one of them. Carrie's friend is none other than Brad Paisley. Talking about his friend, Paisley said, "she’s a prolific songwriter, a trendsetter and an Opry member. But it’s her decency as a person that is so impressive."
