Carrie Underwood Launches Busy Album Release Week

By Music News Jun 7, 2022 | 7:00 PM

Carrie Underwood is celebrating Friday's (June 10th) release of her new album, Denim & Rhinestones, all week long. She kicked things off last night (Tuesday, June 7th) with her Official Fan Club Party as part of this week's CMA Fest, and she also performed two shows at the Grand Ole Opry. Tonight (Wednesday, June 8th), she takes the stage at The Historic Bell Tower in Downtown Nashville for Carrie Underwood: LIVE, a global, one-night-only live performance which will livestream beginning at 8 p.m. CT via the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, the Amazon Music mobile app via Twitch, and on Prime Video globally.

Denin & Rhinestones borrows its title from one of the songs on the album. While the song itself is a personal favorite of Carrie's, she tells it perfectly summed up the entire feel of the album. “I thought there was just something so cool about the title of it that is very me, that I wanted to name my album Denim & Rhinestones. When you think of Denim & Rhinestones, you think of the staples in your closet, the things that are reliable, the things that are comfortable, that you always feel good in them. Then you think of rhinestones and it’s all the things that sparkle on top, and I feel like that kind of just sums up me. It sums up this album. It’s a little vintage. It’s a little shiny, and it just makes you feel good.”

Carrie is also set to appear or perform on ABC’s Good Morning America and GMA3 on Friday as well as NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 14th.

On Saturday (June 11th), Carrie takes the Nissan Stadium stage once again to headline the 49th annual CMA Fest, which will be broadcast on ABC on August 3rd.

The new album is the followup to Carrie's 2018 release, Cry Pretty.
