Carrie Underwood Stuns While Counting Down Time Away from Tennessee Home

Carrie Underwood is maintaining a packed schedule with her Las Vegas residency, “Reflection.” Recently, she announced a well-deserved break.

The 41-year-old country music star shared updates on social media from her final shows of the current residency leg. She’ll return in October for another round, ensuring fans there’s more to look forward to.

Following a spectacular second-to-last night in Sin City, she took to Instagram, sharing dazzling images from the event that showcased her glamorous outfits.

“Some epic pics from last night’s show in #Vegas,” she captioned. “One more show tonight!!! Let’s do this!” After the final night, she posted once more, writing: “And that’s a wrap on this run of #Reflection shows @resortsworldlv !!! Thanks to all who came out and had some fun with us! We’ll see you again in October!”

Fans flooded her posts with excitement: “Best weekend ever!!! Thank you for always being so amazing!!” and “The costume changes are fantastic… Vegas style!!!!”

After wrapping up her shows, Carrie will return to her peaceful 400-acre ranch in Tennessee, shared with husband Mike Fisher and their sons, Jacob and Isaiah.

In September, she is set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville before her October return to Vegas. Amid all this, she’s embracing a new role — as a judge on “American Idol.”

Her return has been endorsed by many, including her friend Keith Urban, who called her “perfect” for the role. Urban, who judged from 2012 to 2016, believes she offers a unique perspective. “She knows exactly what everybody on the other side of the desk is going through. Lionel doesn’t. Luke doesn’t. She’s going to bring something really extraordinary to that seat.”

Lionel Richie also praised her inclusion, telling E! News: “It makes a lot of sense. It’s not someone we have to get used to. And the fact that she has a great story, she came from ‘American Idol.'”

“What a great judge! Now we don’t have to explain anymore, ‘We know how you feel.’ As artists, we know how you feel, but we’ve never been in that oval that says, ‘American Idol.’ She’s been there, done that.”
