8-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 3-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood, kicked off her new arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, Saturday night (October 15th) with a sold-out show at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC.

With dates in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, promoted by AEG Presents, the tour will make stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena before concluding in Seattle, Washington on March 17th. Underwood is joined on THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR by special guest Jimmie Allen on all dates.

In addition to many of the popular hits spanning her stellar 17-year career, Underwood’s nearly two-hour set featured songs from her new album, Denim & Rhinestones, which she co-produced with David Garcia, including lead single “Ghost Story” – where she traveled from the arena’s main stage on a florally adorned swing reminiscent of the one featured in the song’s cinematic music video – and “Hate My Heart,” which Underwood recently announced as her next single.

She also performed other fan favorites including “She Don’t Know” and “Crazy Angels,” the latter of which again brought Underwood high above the crowds, delivering gravity-defying vocals while performing aerial acrobatics within a suspended sphere-shaped apparatus. The packed arena went wild when Underwood brought Allen onstage to join her for a duet – and a bit of dancing – on the album’s title track, “Denim & Rhinestones.”

Other highlights of the show showcased Underwood’s renowned vocal range, creativity, dazzling wardrobe, and pure showmanship, as she seamlessly transitioned between cinematic storytelling, resolutely faithful performances, and high-powered rockstar delivery she is known for. Underwood was, quite literally, brought to new heights with impressive lifts and aerial stunts throughout the night, in addition to pyrotechnics that punctuated songs with flare and new live spins on her classic hits.

Her cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” electrified the crowd, just months after she welcomed Axl Rose as a surprise guest during her headlining set at Stagecoach in May, followed by her surprise performance during the band’s UK shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in July.

Underwood was joined onstage by her 8-piece band. THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR is directed by Barry Lather and Nick Whitehouse/Fireplay is the Production Designer.

$1 from each ticket sold for THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR will be contributed to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org), which has been helping America’s heroes since 9/11 by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building custom-designed smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.

Tickets for future dates, including a limited number of exclusive VIP Packages, which include an amazing selection of tickets, custom merchandise, and more are available now.  For more information, go to http://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/tour.

Underwood, who is nominated for three CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year (for multi-week #1 smash hit “If I Didn’t Love You” with Jason Aldean), will resume her ongoing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency at the Resorts World Theatre in 2023, following THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR.  The first artist to grace the stage of the new 5,000-seat, world-class theatre, she debuted her residency with a sold-out run in December 2021 and went on to perform additional sold-out runs through Spring 2022.  2023 dates for REFLECTION will be announced at a later date.

“I feel like with every tour we get better and more confident, and we get to play a little more with production and things like that,” says Carrie. “So, I hope everybody can just expect to have a great time when they’re out in the audience. I remember going to see concerts and I would go buy the albums and make sure I knew all the songs that were going to be played and just like get ready for it. So, I hope people kind of do that. I hope people wear their denim and rhinestones to the shows. I think that’s gonna be a lot of fun looking out on the audience and just seeing all the bling and the fringe and the denim. I think it’s gonna be an experience, so I’m excited and I can’t wait.”

The trek, which will also feature Jimmie Allen, will make stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York City, Nashville, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Denver, before wrapping in Seattle, Washington on March 17th.

Ahead of the launch of her 43-city arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, 8-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 3-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood announces the electrifying second single from her Denim & Rhinestones album, “Hate My Heart,” impacting country radio on October 31.  Underwood shared the news about her latest single with an exclusive new video clip, providing a special behind-the-scenes look at her rehearsal of the song for her upcoming tour.  Underwood co-wrote “Hate My Heart” with frequent collaborators Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia, as well as hit artist/songwriter Hardy. Listen to “Hate My Heart” now.

“‘Hate My Heart’ was definitely part of my desire to have fun on this album.  I wanted songs that would be exciting to perform live and would fill up an arena, and that’s exactly what we’re about to do with The Denim & Rhinestones Tour.  This one is definitely going to get everyone up on their feet and having a good time.  It was great writing ‘Hate My Heart’ with Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia, who I love collaborating with, and also getting to work with Hardy, who brought a cool vibe and an energy to the track.”

I mean I feel like I was just born to sing, so that’s my favorite part of the day is when I get to sing.”

As Carrie Underwood prepares for the upcoming DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, she reflects on her Entertainer of the Year nomination for this year’s CMA Awards.

“It is, I mean, obviously such an honor to be nominated in Entertainer of the Year,” says Carrie. “Obviously, that’s such a tough category to be in, ‘cause there’s just so, I don’t even want to call it competition, there’s just so many hard working artists out there that are just pouring themselves and their time and their energy and their love and their artistry into what they do. Obviously just to even be in the final category is just absolutely amazing and hopefully, above all, we can all just remember that it’s a celebration of a great year in country music and in our careers as artists, so we’ll just see what happens, but definitely excited to be in that category.”

Carrie is also nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year with Jason Aldean for “If I Didn’t Love You.” The 56th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena November 8th at 8pm ET on ABC.

Her tour will kick off on October 15th in Greenville, South Carolina, making stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena before concluding in Seattle, Washington on March 17th.  Carrie will be joined on THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR by special guest Jimmie Allen on all dates.

Carrie is making her way up the country charts with her latest single, “Ghost Story.”
