00:00Carrie Underwood stole the show at the 2024 CMAs with her powerful performance with Cody
00:05Johnson.
00:06But it was her daring outfit that really had everyone buzzing.
00:09Carrie Underwood knows how to make an entrance, and nothing could be more iconic than her
00:13surprise appearance at the 2024 CMAs.
00:16Underwood skipped the red carpet and remained under the radar for most of the evening until
00:20she waltzed onto the stage of Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for an unexpected comeback.
00:25Underwood joined Johnson onstage, and the country superstars performed their track,
00:30I'm Gonna Love You.
00:31The audience went wild as Johnson bragged,
00:33"'Yeah, that's Carrie Underwood!' as if anyone needed reminding that the country queen was
00:38right there in the flesh.
00:39The other star of the show?
00:41Underwood's outfit."
00:42Daring doesn't even begin to describe her chosen ensemble, which consisted of a leather
00:47top and a flowing dress with an eye-popping slit right up the middle.
00:51She looked classy as ever, but with a single wrong move, the country queen almost turned
00:55her CMAs comeback into a major fashion faux pas.
00:59For about half a second, she showed way more leg than she likely meant to.
01:02When Underwood hit the stage, fans practically broke the internet with their reactions, and
01:07most loved her look.
01:08One ex-user said that Underwood looked amazing, while another gushed that Underwood's dress
01:12looked hot.
01:13A third ex-user wrote that they were obsessed with the star's whole look.
01:17And of course, there were also plenty of others who questioned Underwood's risque fashion
01:21choice.
01:22One ex-user wrote,
01:23"'What in the Western wedding dress is Carrie Underwood wearing?'
01:27Underwood's unexpected return to the glitzy event was especially noteworthy as it marked
01:31her first appearance since 2022, in spite of a 2023 Entertainer of the Year nod.
01:37Fans were just as awestruck as they were excited, speculating on how she even managed to crash
01:42one of country music's biggest nights unannounced.
01:44But while her powerhouse vocals during the duet with Johnson earned much praise online,
01:49it was definitely Underwood's thigh-high split that stole the spotlight.
01:53"'And when I told my kids, my little girls, that I met Carrie Underwood, they forgot all
01:58about Cody Johnson.'"
01:59Love it or side-eye it, there's no denying the before-he-cheats hitmaker knows how to
02:03get everyone talking, and she's about to give fans even more to buzz about.
02:08Underwood is stepping into a new role as a judge on American Idol, and we cannot wait
02:11to see what she has up her sleeve.
02:13During an interview on SiriusXM's Music Row Happy Hour, the singer said,
02:17"'I think I can be honest and constructive but still kind.
02:20I think that's the whole point.
02:21Cause people are coming in and, you know, it's dreams and you're a part of somebody's
02:25story from that moment on.'"
02:27"'So I think it's important to be honest, but I think it's also very important to be
02:30kind.'"
