The Denim & Rhinestones Tour: PRESS LINK

March 20, 2023 – 8-time Grammy Award winner, three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year and Pollstar’s three-time top female country touring artist Carrie Underwood, wrapped her 43-city arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, on Friday night with a sold-out show at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena. 

“The Oklahoma singer prowled across the diamond-shaped stage like an apex predator, soared high over the crowd twice and even bashed a ferocious drum solo.  Throughout it all, she treated the raucous mix of young and older fans on hand to 24 of her biggest hits and brought her ‘Denim & Rhinestones” tour to a triumphant close.  The entire show was a frenetic rush of spectacle designed to keep people’s attention in the TikTok era of overstimulation, and it was executed at the highest level.”  – The Seattle Times
 
“The most compelling portion of the concert – the heart of the show beyond even the songs, high-octane voice, special guests and sizzling production – was simply Underwood herself. The singer-songwriter radiated a pure joy and a full-throttle, energetic passion – hallmarks of an entertainer in full command of her artistry.” – Billboard

“Underwood has been headlining arenas since 2007, with the show demonstrating why.  There’s a reason Underwood has drawn countless fans to country music and expanded the genre like the greats that came before her.  Onstage is where you feel her heart the most – and it all started with her voice.”  – American Songwriter
 
“Underwood succeeded at making a solid case that she’s the highest-suited and most valued card in the metaphorical deck that is country music.” – The Tennessean
 

Promoted by AEG Presents, the tour began with a sold-out performance in Greenville, SC on October 15, 2022.  The first leg continued through November and resumed in Miami in February 2023 with stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena before concluding in Seattle, WA on March 17. Underwood was joined on THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR by special guest Jimmie Allen on all dates. 
 
$1 from each ticket sold for THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR was 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. 

Additional highlights of the tour included:

• At the top of her highly-anticipated sold-out “hometown” show in Nashville, Carrie thrilled the SRO crowd when country superstar Jason Aldean joined Carrie onstage to perform their multi-week #1 hit single, “If I Didn’t Love You,” usually performed by a virtual version of her duet partner in the tour’s set list. 
   
• Later in the Bridgestone show, the audience went wild when Carrie’s longtime friend and 11-time CMA Awards co-host Brad Paisley appeared next to her onstage.  The crowd roared as the beloved twosome performed a comedic parody number celebrating the unexpected reunion of “Paisleywood.”  Brad and Carrie kept the audience on their feet with their hit duet, “Remind Me.”
   
• One of the nightly highlights of Carrie’s nearly two-hour set was when Jimmie Allen returned to the stage each night to join her for a rousing, crowd-pleasing rendition of the title track from her Denim & Rhinestones album, complete with a high-energy dance break. 
   
• During her L.A. show at Crypto.com Arena, Carrie brought the full house down with a surprise appearance by Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, who joined her for an electric performance of the band’s iconic “Welcome to the Jungle,” which she usually performs on her own as her first encore.  The pair first caused a frenzy last year with a surprise appearance during Underwood’s headlining Stagecoach set and she would later join the band for two 2022 performances at UK’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  

Critics from coast to coast raved about the top-notch production, which featured hits from throughout Underwood’s illustrious career, as well as songs from her new album, Denim & Rhinestones – which she co-produced – including lead single “Ghost Story” and her current single, “Hate My Heart,” which is currently climbing the charts.  The high-energy show found Carrie soaring high above the crowds, delivering gravity-defying vocals while performing aerial acrobatics, in addition to the multitude of wardrobe looks and changes that the superstar has become known for.
 

“Her vocals – assertive, dramatic, determined, a balance of fierce intensity and graceful power – gave them toughness, pride and courage.” – Chicago Tribune
 
“Her vocal prowess is akin to an athlete’s physical ability.” – Columbus Dispatch
 
“Underwood somehow manages to top herself…proving once again that she is one of the genre’s top vocalists and entertainers.” – Country Now
 
“When it comes to vocal abilities, Underwood reaffirmed Sunday night that there’s no other country music A-lister who comes close to snatching her crown.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
 
“Few female voices, in any genre, can hold a candle to Underwood’s when she is at full throttle” – NOLA.com

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.  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.
 

“The unparalleled entertainer constantly sang her guts out to a series of heartfelt, relatable, and uplifting messages that helped propel the more than 100 major award-winner to possibly become the paramount voice of this century so far.” – Illinois Entertainer
 
“After nearly 20 years doing this, Underwood doesn’t have anything left to prove, yet she maintains a dogged focus on improving.” – Taste of Country

“A spectacle in the pantheon of one of the best shows of the year.” – RIFF Magazine

Following the conclusion of THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, Carrie resumes her ongoing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency, returning to the Resorts World Theatre in June.  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.  Tickets for 18 new 2023 show dates for REFLECTION, produced by Concerts West/ AEG Presents, are on sale now at AXS.com.
