Carrie Underwood brought her wildly successful Denim & Rhinestones Tour to a heartfelt close this past weekend, wrapping up with a sold-out finale in Seattle, Washington. Fans were treated to an unforgettable performance, and Carrie herself shared her emotions and gratitude ahead of the final show.
In an Instagram story, she reflected on the tour and thanked her fans, band, crew, and tourmate Jimmie Allen:
“I’m sitting in our dressing room before our very last show on the Denim & Rhinestones Tour. It’s bittersweet, but it’s been an incredible run. The fans have been amazing beyond words. Thank you to the band, crew, and Jimmie Allen!”
Carrie called this her “favorite tour” yet, and her emotional message continued:
“I feel very blessed and grateful, and I’m gonna cry. Thank you for supporting me—it’s meant so much.”
Celebrating the Crew and Band
She later shared a video recap of Leg 2 of the tour, highlighting the energy and excitement at every stop:
“So many incredible shows and audiences this year! 🔥 Leg 2 of the #DenimAndRhinestonesTour was one to remember 💜💎.”
Carrie made sure to give credit to her team:
“Words can’t describe how thankful I am to this band and crew who made this show happen night after night 💜. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, and to all the venue staff who made us feel at home every night. @jimmieallen, your shows were amazing—it was so fun listening to you every night! This tour is unforgettable!”
A Tour to Remember
The tour began on October 15, 2022, in Greenville, South Carolina, and concluded on St. Patrick’s Day in Seattle, supporting her album Denim & Rhinestones, released in June 2022. The 12-track album features hits like Hate My Heart, Ghost Story, Pink Champagne, Crazy Angels, and Velvet Heartbreak.
Carrie also recently released her first-ever “truck song,” Out Of That Truck, co-written with David Garcia and Lydia Vaughn. The breakup anthem showcases her powerhouse vocals as she sings about memories that refuse to fade.
Looking Ahead: Vegas Residency and Awards
After the tour, Carrie will return to Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas for her REFLECTION residency in summer 2023, with 18 new shows added. She’s thrilled to return to her Vegas “home away from home” to perform for audiences from all over the world.
Carrie is also up for two 2023 CMT Music Awards: Video Of The Year for Hate My Heart and Female Video Of The Year for Ghost Story. She will perform during the ceremony, continuing her legacy as the most-awarded artist in CMT history.
