[FONT="]SOUTHERN belle Carrie Underwood brought some country magic to Glasgow tonight during her sold-out show.[/FONT]

[FONT="]It was the latest gig in her mammoth Cry Pretty 360 tour tour which will see the 36-year-old play SIXTY dates.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Punters turned up in their numbers dressed for the occasion with cowboy boots and hats. Some even went the full mile and had tassels on their jackets.[/FONT]
[FONT="]After a bit of banter with the crowd, Carrie got straight into it and kicked off her set with a raucous rendition of new single Southbound from her latest album.[/FONT]
[FONT="]It’s not one of her classics - yet - but was the perfect opener to get the party started.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The very next track she had the whole crowd singing along after she burst into her popular 2009 single Cowboy Casanova.[/FONT]

[FONT="]As the night went on, she struck a perfect balance between ballad and barnstormer.[/FONT]
[FONT="]For every song that was made for a girls’ night out, there were plenty big emotional efforts too.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Singles like Good Girl and Last Name had the Hydro rocking while Backsliding had them swooning.[/FONT]
[FONT="]In between she chatted to the fans and explained the thoughts behind her latest album.[/FONT]
[FONT="]She also constantly thanked her supporters.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Carrie said: “Some of favourite moments are in between songs when the lights go down and swear I see everybody in this room.[/FONT]
[FONT="]“I got on my first plane journey at 21-years-old. I never thought I’d get to see a place like Glasgow.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]And Carrie - who looked every inch country’s biggest pop star - even managed to show off her wider musical talents.[/FONT]

[FONT="]At different stages she played guitar and piano which complimented the whole vibe perfectly.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Perhaps the coolest moment was during her performance of Blown Away when Carrie appeared in a Fedora and performed surrounded by saxophones and smoke like a 1920s club.[/FONT]
[FONT="]But it wasn’t always that stripped back - as she pulled out all the stops for her production values.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The screens behind her displayed some seriously creative animated slides which fitted the theme for each song[/FONT]
[FONT="]Arguably the highlight of the night was when she brought a young Glaswegian named Kacey on stage so replace Ludacris during her track Champion.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The youngster smashed the performance and had the whole crowd rooting for her as she strutted around the stage with Carrie.[/FONT]
[FONT="]After 14 years in the spotlight, it’s clear Carrie still has the southern charm that made her a reality pop star.[/FONT]
[FONT="]And now she’s showing why she progressed to music superstar.
We all know he got the wrong song name on the Fedora/jazzy song.......LOL
