Flashback of my two nieces and me during our first concert with Carrie in August, 2005 at Angel of the Winds Arena, Everett, Western Washington (American Idol Live 2005). Now, they are both studying at Seattle University and still die hard fans of Carrie.

Thank you @carrieunderwood! This was the best night ever! I can’t even explain anything, it was just amazing! Thanks for this amazing unreal performance. You see I was nervous and shaking until I went on stage, it all stopped.

Carrie Underwood charmed the crowd in Saskatoon on Friday night, bringing her signature powerhouse vocals and a stage show full of fireworks, projector screens and glitter.
Underwood brought her Cry Pretty Tour 360 to SaskTel Centre, in support of her sixth studio album of the same name. This marks the fourth time Underwood has made a stop in Saskatoon for a headlining tour.
It is still fairly rare to have a concert lineup made up of all female acts, let alone a lineup of six powerful women in the country music scene. But with her, Underwood brought opening acts Maddie & Tae and Runaway June, with all six women exuding power and confidence as they walked and danced across the stage with all of their glitter and glamour.
Runaway June, out of Nashville, TN, opened the show with anthems of empowerment like “loving somebody who ruins your lipstick, not your mascara,” and reinforcing that they’re able to “buy (their) own drinks.” Afterwards, Maddie & Tae’s melodic vocals came together in a duet rivalling the power of Underwood’s own vocals.
The stage itself was set up in what can only be described as a catwalk, forming half a circle through the middle of the floor — complete with rising platforms for the performers to go on and off stage. However, the one downside to the stage shape was inevitably being forced to watch the backs of the singers or the projector screens for full songs. This issue was somewhat remedied by all the performers continuously moving around the stage, and during Underwood’s performance, the addition of screens all across the stage.
Before Underwood’s appearance on stage, the added projector screens came down and surrounded the stage, showing a swirl of pink flower petals and fireworks, as well as a slightly too close projection of Underwood’s eyes.
For Underwood’s entrance, she rose from the middle of the stage, soaring above the crowd with ‘Southbound.’ Throughout the night, Underwood performed hits like ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ and ‘Before He Cheats,’ as well as ‘Two Black Cadillacs,’ and ‘Something in the Water.’
Between songs, Underwood mentioned the 14 years that have passed since she won American Idol in 2005, as well as acknowledging two of her bandmates who had been with her since the beginning. From there, they launched into an emotional medley of songs they don’t get to perform often in a bid to “walk down memory lane,” including ‘Temporary Home,’ ‘See You Again,’ ‘I Know You Won’t,’ ‘Just a Dream,’ and Underwood’s rendition of Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On.’
Underwood’s stage presence also deserves praise, as it perfectly accompanied the power she has in her voice. And though they were not necessarily needed — since Underwood can certainly hold her own on stage with only her voice — props like a blood red lounge chair and an old school microphone used during ‘Drinking Alone;’ the various platforms across the stage which brought Underwood rising above the crowd; and her multiple glittery costumes only continued to enhance Underwood’s stage performance, making for a great night of country music in Saskatoon.
Love this review especially the last paragraph because she used to be labeled as “stiff” with communication with audiences and she lost that ages ago. She’s so warm and open
