Well this upcoming CMA’s is when it is eligible, so can expect Song/Single/Event for it too. So I think the performance on the show gives it’s a strong chance for the nomination.

Aw man I have something the night of the 11th that I can’t get out of so I won’t be able to go that night! Was hoping to snag a last minute ticket!

This is super insignificant compared to all the new music and stuff, but I LOVE her hair here and in the Amazon special. I hope this is her go to style for this era.

I know CMA Fest is a shorter setlist, but there wasn’t a Cry Pretty era song, but one for every other era (at least). Found that interesting.

What I find really weird is that she never perform Southbound anymore, not in the las Vegas residency or festivals or special shows and it's her last and only #1 from Cry Pretty.. thoughts? 🤔

I’d have rather heard Southbound over Undo It… but I don’t think there is rhyme or reason. She actually only played Cry Pretty during her Amazon Prime concert too from the album of the same name.

Carrie Underwood closes Saturday night, with a Louisville Slugger​

12:30 a.m.: As a live performer, Carrie Underwood has nothing to prove.

However, as she noted to the Tennessean before her night three headlining set at CMA Fest, she feels dutifully tied to upholding the "hustling" legacies of prior top-tier iconic country stars like Barbara Mandrell and Dolly Parton. Thus, she slung an electric guitar over her left shoulder, wore enough bejeweled red and black stagewear to be seen in Nissan Stadium's nosebleed seats, and rocked out to a defiant, solid version of her 2016 single "Church Bells."

Of late, Underwood has become a touring juggernaut -- Vegas to Stagecoach Festival to the stage of Nashville's Bell Tower for Amazon Music's debut concert for her ninth studio album, "Denim and Rhinestones." However, she showed neither exhaustion nor disengagement from her material. On the contrary, the excitement of the job -- being radio-ready country music's most instantaneously recognizable female name, felt like her call to arms to slay a live crowd already blown away by Luke Combs' phenomenal set just 90 minutes prior.

From her new album, she first performed the banjo-aided power-pop lead single "Ghost Story." As she noted to The Tennessean, the song has just enough country blended with pop to highlight her desire to make music that is more broadly genre non-specific. However, she keeps country music's traditions at the core.

2005-era Underwood track, "Wasted," featured Underwood's work as an inspirational Christian rocker blasting to the forefront. Yes, the more traditional "My Savior" reflects where her current interests lie in that realm, but her fiddle-backed torch-song exhortations left Nissan Stadium enraptured. Following that performance with "Jesus, Take The Wheel," another religious pop number from the same era of her career, followed by a stentorian take on the gospel hymn "How Great Thou Art," cemented her excellence in this country-adjacent lane.

The jazzy, 80s, R & B radio synth-pop that underpins her latest album's title track opens a new lane for her career that should prove creatively fruitful. It received the least overwhelming response of the evening, but it's a lane that aligns well with sonic and cultural shifts in the genre.

Underwood's soul-pop skills were highlighted via her 2007 single "Last Night," a track where she sings, "Last night, I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy / Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me 'baby.'"

Masterfully, it set up the set's expected closer -- her smash hit debut single, 2005's "Before He Cheats." if there's a 21st century American Songbook, Underwood promising to commit felonies against a cheating lover is likely on the first page.

Hearing an entire venue sing the song cemented the song's -- and her -- undeniable excellence.

A Woman’s Work

Last year, when Carrie Underwood served as the final headlining performer for CMA Summer Jam, following sets by Blake Shelton and Bryan, she told the crowd, “I think everybody knew that closing this thing down was a woman’s work.” That’s exactly what she did on Saturday night at CMA Fest, showcasing just why she’s one of the premier vocalists in any musical genre — and yet again, why a CMA entertainer of the year win is long overdue. Standing center stage and wielding a guitar, Underwood launched her set with a moody rendition of “Church Bells,” before keeping the energy high as she danced and swayed through “Good Girl” and “Undo It.” Underwood released her newest album, Denim & Rhinestones, on Friday (June 10) and her Saturday night set included the album’s first single “Ghost Story,” as well as the ’80s pop-soaked title track.

But it was Underwood’s breakthrough hit, the Brett James, Gordon Sampson and Hillary Lindsey-penned inspirational hit “Jesus Take The Wheel,” that proved the evening’s most memorable performance as she expertly paired it with a hair-raising, soul-elevating rendition of the hymn “How Great Thou Art.” “That’s one of the things I love about country music,” Underwood told the crowd. “We can sing about those things that are important to us. I think we all just went to church on Saturday night in downtown Nashville.” It was ultimately timeless older songs from Underwood’s catalog that brought the loudest response, including the dramatic “Blown Away” and “Before He Cheats,” as Underwood let the fervent crowd become “backup singers,” taking over the chorus as she unleashed a wave of vocal perfection.
