Carrie Underwood‘s Reflections residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas is drawing quite a crowd as fans continue to share photos and clips of her spectacular performances on social media. The “Denim & Rhinestones” singer, 41, has a packed schedule of shows scheduled through October, and she’s leaving no stone unturned to impress her audience.
After one of her recent shows, the Grammy winner stepped out for an evening on the town and visited the Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World to catch a performance by her friend and musical collaborator, Ludacris. Underwood posted videos of his show on Instagram last week, along with a picture of the two of them. Some fans were left amazed and couldn’t “recognize” her in the picture, leading them to express their astonishment in the comments section.
On May 28th, the “Before He Cheats” hitmaker captioned her IG post for her 13.1 million IG followers: “Pretty sure @ludacris is the only person who could get me out to the club after my show @resortsworldlv . @zoukgrouplv was so much fun and we even got a fun surprise watching @tpain ! Thanks for a fun night out!”
In the first image, Underwood could be seen rocking a Guns N Roses graphic tee, matching black leggings, intricate black leather boots and a yellow GNR baseball cap that read: “Welcome To The Jungle.” She wore her long, layered blonde tresses down, styled into a blowout beneath her hat. As for her makeup look, the American Idol alum sported heavy black liner, sky-high lashes, rosy blush and a glossy pink pout. Fans headed to the upload’s comments section to share their thoughts.
“Didn’t even recognize Carrie! Looks like she may have had some “work” done!” one fan wrote as another commented: “Doesn’t look anything like Carrie.” Someone else replied: “She looks totally different…not just clothes, but facial features.” One other concurred, adding: “Wow!! This doesn’t even look like Carrie Underwood.”
Underwood has not responded to these fan comments, or some of the cosmetic surgery accusations. Last month, the “Jesus, Take The Wheel” crooner shared a throwback photo from her 2005 American Idol audition at age 21, and many fans marveled over her transformation. Captured in the photograph, Underwood wore a vivid pink short-sleeved shirt, which was mostly obscured by the sizable yellow paper she clutched, bearing the bold digits 14887. Her cascading blonde curls brushed her shoulders with gentle waves.
“REFLECTION of the week:” Underwood captioned the photo, which now has over 120,000 likes. “Contestant number #14887 received her golden ticket to Hollywood! I can’t believe it has been almost 20 years since auditioning for @AmericanIdol! #ReflectionOfTheWeek!”
The photo of the young contestant (and now superstar) was so endearing that fans couldn’t resist expressing their adoration in the comment section. “Where does the time go?” one person asked. “I remember that like it was yesterday!” another wrote. “I was cheering you on! You are an amazing artist and person!”
“Carrie you were so cute!” a third fan noted. “And still are!” Someone else agreed: “It’s hard to believe it’s been that long! I have loved you since day one!” One other joked: “…Well now I feel old!” as one more commented: “You’ve come a long, long way. So proud of everything you’ve accomplished!”
