Karen was interested in singing from an early age, and as she got older would work on perfecting her singing skills.

She was a part of a Christian vocal group Truth, and formed a music duo with Leigh Cappillino – KarenLeigh – with whom she released hit singles such as “This Love Has”, and “Save it For a Rainy Day”. During her college years she befriended Kimberly Roads, and the two moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a musical career together. In 1998, they were joined by Jimi Westbrook, and soon afterwards Phillip Sweet to form the Little Big Town band.

They first signed a deal with Universal Music Group Nashville, however, they had no luck in releasing an album with the label, and were dropped. Nevertheless, they continued to make music and collaborated with several other musicians, including Collin Raye and Sherrié Austin, before they signed a contract with Monument Records Nashville. The debut album “Little Big Town”, came out in May 2002, and reached No. 40 on the US Country chart.

Following the release of the album, the members started experiencing problems, as Jimi’s father died, Karen divorced her husband, Sweet entered the divorce process, and to make things worse, the Monument label ceased to exist.

Nevertheless, the group continued its tour, but the members also had everyday jobs to support their musical aspirations.

Luck smiled on them as they signed with Equity Music Group in 2005, and their second album was released in October the same year, entitled “The Road Here”, which achieved platinum status while reaching No. 12 on the US Country Chart.

Since then, the group has become rather popular, with albums such as “The Reason Why” (2010) – their first to top the US Country Chart, then ^[5]“Tornado” (2012), which achieved platinum status in the US and Gold in Canada, while also topping the Country chart and reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard 200, then “Pain Killer” (2014), which reached No. 3 on the US Country chart, and “The Breaker” (2017), which became their third album to top the US Country Chart.

Karen's net worth is estimated to be as high as $3 million as of 2019.
