I know I sound so dramatic about seeing my girl crush in concert, but it was just great! I rarely get star struck and as soon as she came on stage I was just giddy. She is absolutely beautiful, as you’d imagine, teeny tiny, and the voice is incredible. She didn’t sing a single bad note.
I was in grad school when Carrie was on Idol and my good friend (and bridesmaid) and I rooted for her from the very beginning. And then I would frantically text as many times as I could until my fingers fell off to vote for Carrie on Idol. I’m just a fan.
She didn’t leave out any of the great songs and she even busted out with “How Great Thou Art” in the middle of “Jesus Take the Wheel.”
We had fantastic seats and I was able to get some really great pictures– not including the terrible self-portrait of the Todd and me where Todd appears to be blinded by the flash.
Carrie opened with “Cowboy Casanova” in a tuxedo-like outfit with pedal pushers and amazing sequined shoes.
There were about 6 wardrobe changes and I don’t think the show could have been any better. Even Todd was impressed!
She sang “Just a Dream” in this glittery pink tulle skirt while sitting on the swing.
She played and sang “All American Girl.”
The most fun part of the night was when she came out in this truck and sang “Country Roads” as she and the truck flew over the arena.
Singing “He is Good” while playing the piano. While she sang this song, there were pictures on the screens of Carrie growing up and on through the years. There were pictures with her mother and it ended with a photo of Carrie and her fiance.
And the encore and finale of “Before He Cheats” and “Songs Like This.”
Such a great show! Thanks for letting me express me excitement over the concert here!
Love her too. I saw her Friday night in NC and am impressed to report she changed most of her outfits from the previous night! I knew I liked her!
I saw her last Sunday in Cincinnati and she was amazing!!! You have every right to gush! She was brilliant! Her voice is just amazing and she is so beautiful! I wish I had been allowed to take my good camera with me, because my pics were not nearly that awesome, so thank you so much for posting the great pics that you have!
Sooooo fun!!!! I loved your play-by-play on Twitter!!!!! 🙂
She is someone I would love to see in concert. Glad you had a great time!
Officially jealous! I guess if I can’t see her in concert, the next best thing is a play by play form you, her #1 fan! These pictures are great, and all of your tweets made me laugh last night.
Safe travels to NYC today 🙂
It looks like an amazing show! Thanks for sharing all of the pics.
Awesome show, right? I’d see her over and over again. Her outfits were slightly different from even a few weeks ago, but it sounds like the play list was the same. Awesome, glad you had a great time!
looks like carrie put on an awesome show!!! I’m ready to see her again now!! You guys have SO much fun in NYC!!! xoxo
These pictures look much better than your twitter ones!! She is so amazingly talented! I met 2 guys who went to college with her at a conference a few years ago and felt so cool that I knew someone who knew Carrie. Haha! Now that I look back at it, it was totally lame, but it was fun at the time! I love how she seems so down-to-earth and could be friends with anyone! I am so happy you had such a great time! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!!
I can’t wait to see her now, we’re going on May 30th!! thanks for sharing
GREAT pics! She’s GORGEOUS! I would love to see her in concert!
I also love Carrie and have since Idol. She is amazing!! Loved your play by play on Twitter last night!!
I saw her a few weeks ago and she was absolutely flawless! You want to believe that no one can sing just like their CD, but she absolutely does! Not a single bad note. I’d see her again and again!
I’ve adored her since her first audition on Idol…….. would you believe she’s the only “Idol Gone Country” that I *haven’t* met, yet she’s my favorite.
Looks like a great concert!!! Unfortunately, she’s not coming anywhere near me 🙁 I love all the pictures that make me feel like I was there, lol.
And….. it sounds like a perfect picture montage for “He Is Good.” I love that song and the meaning behind it!!
Looks so so fun! Glad you got to see your girl!
I have a girl crush on her too. She is AMAZING! Your pictures turned out sooo good. Sometimes it’s hard to get good pics since it’s so dark, but yours are great!! What awesome seats too!
Thanks for sharing! We have tickets to her show in Birmingham, and after seeing your recap, I’m even more excited about going!
Your pictures came out great. I need to upload mine to see if any came out ok. I know you had a fantastic time and so did I! She is such an amazing performer!
I got to see her perform in MI a little over a week ago and loved her!
I am so jealous that you saw her in concert! It looks like you had an awesome time! Thank you so much for posting these pics and giving us a great little re-cap. I always love to see the wardrobe changes throughout concerts! 🙂 I know how much you love CU, so I am reallly happy for you!!
