Carrie Underwood fans praise singer’s ‘epic’ ACM Awards performance

Underwood and Jason Aldean’s ‘If I Didn’t Love You’ won Single of the Year at the ceremony

Fans have praised Carrie Underwood for her “epic” performance at the 57th Academy Of Country Music Awards.

On Monday (7 March), the country singer took the stage in Las Vegas with fellow artist Jason Aldean to perform their 2021 hit “If I Didn’t Love You”.

Aldean introduced the performance at a grand piano before Underwood descended onto the stage through the air on a floating swing. The two then harmonised during the chorus as the stage beneath them filled with fog.

Following the show, Underwood shared two Instagram posts highlighting the evening and thanking fans.

Underwood, who has 10.9 million followers on Instagram, received hundreds of comments applauding the production.

“Amazing entrance and the best performance of the night,” wrote one fan.

“The glinda we deserve,” commented another, referencing the Wizard of Oz and Wicked character.

Some noted Underwood’s impressive entrance: “Petition to add flying contraptions back into the tour! I miss them so much! Love watching you fly.”
