Carrie Underwood celebrated the release of Denim & Rhinestones in style on Saturday. She joined Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Brothers Osborne and Randy Houser for a sold-out performance at Nissan Stadium. The set was part of this week’s CMA Fest in Nashville. She celebrated the evening with a collection of photos shared to her Instagram on Sunday.
“We had so much fun last night at #CMAFest! So much energy in that crowd! Hope you are all having fun in our fine city! Thanks for coming out to party” she captioned the post.
Before the performance, she posted a behind-the-scenes look at preparation for the big night. There were 70,000 fewer people at Nissan Stadium at the time.
“Rehearsin’ for the stadium tonight at the #CMAFest! Who’s coming? Let’s do this!” she added to the post.
‘Denim & Rhinestones Era Begins
It’s been a big week for the 39-year-old. She returned to the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday ahead of the album’s release. She introduced the Denim & Rhinestones Experience at The Bell Tower in downtown Nashville. Underwood performed an exclusive for Amazon Music Live. Later this year, she’ll embark on the Denim & Rhinestones Tour, and she recently revealed on Good Morning America what the new era means to her.
“I love to fully immerse myself in the eras that I get to create and the songs that I get to make,” Carrie Underwood said. “And I feel like I’m just living this beautiful world in denim and rhinestones and it just makes me happy.”
