Carrie Underwood gave a killer performance of “Hate My Heart” at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, but the hitmaker unfortunately didn’t take home any awards at the ceremony. The “Before He Cheats” singer, 40, was up for two awards at the event, and stunned fans when she graced the red carpet in a long-sleeved, crystal-encrusted top with matching short-shorts from Dolce & Gabbana.

"Best legs in the business! I’m so jealous! Lol" one commented as another chimed in, writing, "Obsessed with this look," with heart-eye emojis (us, too!)
One fan wrote under the American Idol winner's upload, "You were amazing as usual! I’m glad you saw us voting, but man do I feel like we let you down some. You deserve the world."
