Fans at Carrie Underwood’s REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency got a heartwarming surprise on Saturday, March 26, when the country superstar invited a very special guest to join her on stage—her mom, Carole Underwood.
As the crowd cheered, Carrie gently led her mom to center stage and introduced her with a smile: “Come here, my love. This is Mom! Are you ready? Do you have anything you want to say to these fine people?”
Carole, beaming with excitement, greeted the audience: “I’m so happy you’re here and I hope you enjoy the show.” Moments later, the familiar melody of Carrie’s 2007 hit “All-American Girl” filled the venue—and the mother-daughter duet began.
Carole confidently sang alongside her daughter, belting out every word with enthusiasm and even taking the lead on a few lines. It was clear she was having the time of her life, and the crowd loved every second of it.
After the show, Carrie took to social media to share a few snapshots of the emotional performance, along with a heartfelt message about her mom’s role in shaping her journey.
“‘If you wanna go, I’ll take you.’ Those might be the most important words anyone has ever said to me,” Carrie wrote. “I was trying to talk myself out of auditioning for American Idol, and my mom said those words… and the rest is history. Tonight, I got to sing with her in front of an amazing crowd in Vegas Life is pretty amazing. Thanks, Mom, for everything!”
This isn’t the first time Carole has shared the stage with her daughter. Back in 2019, during a tour stop in Carrie’s home state of Oklahoma, Carole wowed the crowd by taking on the rap section of “The Champion”—originally performed by Ludacris. Her performance was a fan-favorite moment and proved once again that talent runs deep in the Underwood family.
Whether she’s cheering from the crowd or singing on stage, Carole Underwood continues to be one of Carrie’s biggest supporters—and fans can’t get enough of their sweet bond.
