Carrie Underwood sent fans into a frenzy with her surprise appearance at the 2024 CMA Awards.
The country music superstar took the stage with Cody Johnson for a powerful rendition of I’m Gonna Love You.
Dressed in a chic western-inspired ensemble, featuring a leather vest and a white fringe and lace dress, the American Idol winner dazzled the audience at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
For the first time in her career, Carrie was not nominated for a CMA Award, leading many to believe she would skip the event, especially since she wasn’t listed as a scheduled performer.
However, in front of a star-studded crowd, including Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, and more, Carrie and Cody’s electrifying performance quickly became the highlight of the night.
‘Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood just made me remember why I used to love the CMAs growing up,’ wrote one enamored fan.
