Carrie Underwood Tour 2026

Inside Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood is the small-town Oklahoma vocal powerhouse who walked off the American Idol Season 4 finale stage in May 2005 with the kind of voice that radio executives in Nashville had been quietly waiting a generation to find again. The win — over runner-up Bo Bice on a record-setting voting night — sent her straight into the studio for Some Hearts, the 2005 debut that has been certified eight-times platinum, spent more than a decade on the country album charts, and produced the format-defining singles "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats" that turned a former farm-girl wildlife-biology major into a Grand Ole Opry member and Country Music Hall of Fame trajectory before her thirtieth birthday. Everything since has been a controlled expansion of that core franchise — Carnival Ride in 2007, Play On in 2009, the darker and bigger-sounding Blown Away in 2012, Storyteller in 2015, Cry Pretty in 2018, the gospel-leaning My Savior in 2021, and Denim & Rhinestones in 2022 — eight Grammys across country and gospel categories, sixteen-plus No. 1 country singles, multiple CMA Female Vocalist of the Year and ACM Entertainer of the Year wins, the long-running NFL Sunday Night Football theme that has put her voice into roughly fifteen years of Sunday-night living rooms, a 2024 return to the American Idol judges' table that closed a full-circle loop on the show that launched her, and the "Reflection" Las Vegas residency at The Theatre at Resorts World that ran from late 2021 through 2024 as one of the highest-grossing country residencies in the building's short history. She tours arenas and stadiums when she tours, treats stagecraft and production design as part of the show rather than something to apologize for, and married Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher in 2010 in a wedding that made the Tennessean front page. This page is the landing spot for current Carrie Underwood tour dates, ticket information, setlists, residency notes and city-specific show information, kept evergreen year-round so it tracks every new touring or residency leg as it rolls out — and hedges anything specific to a calendar year that has not yet been announced.

About Carrie Underwood

Carrie Marie Underwood was born March 10, 1983 in Muskogee, Oklahoma and raised on a family farm outside Checotah, a town of roughly 3,500 in Mcintosh County in the eastern half of the state where her father worked at a paper mill and her mother taught elementary school. She sang in the local Free Will Baptist church from age three, played in talent shows at the Robbins Memorial Theater in Muskogee through her teens, briefly chased a regional record deal with Capitol Nashville at fourteen that collapsed before it produced anything, and went on to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah on an academic track toward a degree in mass communications with a journalism emphasis. By her own telling she had effectively decided to give up on a music career and was a semester from graduating when she drove eight hours to a St. Louis open call for American Idol Season 4 in the summer of 2004. She was twenty-one years old, had never been further west than Texas, and walked into the audition room with the kind of country-soprano range and Sunday-morning gospel control that Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul had not heard yet on the show.

The Season 4 run was a steady climb from regional auditions through Hollywood week into a finale broadcast on May 25, 2005 that drew roughly thirty million viewers and saw Underwood take the title over Bo Bice on a vote split widely reported as the largest margin in the show's history to that point. Some Hearts dropped that November on Arista Nashville and 19 Recordings, the joint Idol-music deal, and effectively rewrote the country-format playbook: lead single "Jesus, Take the Wheel" went to No. 1 on the country airplay chart and crossed pop, follow-up "Before He Cheats" became one of the longest-charting country crossover singles of the decade and pushed the album to certified eight-times platinum status with more than seven million U.S. copies sold. Carnival Ride followed in 2007 with "All-American Girl" and "Last Name", Play On in 2009 with "Cowboy Casanova" and "Temporary Home", and Blown Away in 2012 added the title-track tornado-narrative single and "Two Black Cadillacs" as the catalogue darkened and got bigger sounding. Storyteller landed in 2015 with "Smoke Break" and "Heartbeat", Cry Pretty in 2018 was her first co-produced record and her first studio album to debut at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200, the gospel My Savior arrived in early 2021 and won the Grammy for Best Roots Gospel Album, and Denim & Rhinestones in 2022 closed a multi-album cycle that handed her the touring catalogue she carries into every current arena set. The NFL Sunday Night Football theme — the "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" / "Oh, Sunday Night" arrangement she has performed on the NBC broadcast since taking over from Faith Hill in 2013 — keeps her voice in roughly fifteen million Sunday-night television sets every fall. The "Reflection" Las Vegas residency at The Theatre at Resorts World launched in December 2021 and ran in batched residencies through 2024 as one of the highest-grossing country acts in the building's young history. The 2024 return to American Idol as a judge — replacing Katy Perry on the panel — closed the full-circle loop on the show that launched her career and re-introduced her to the streaming-era family-audience that had only ever known her as the headliner. Eight Grammys across country, gospel and Christian categories, seven CMA Female Vocalist of the Year wins, multiple ACM Entertainer of the Year nods, a 2008 Grand Ole Opry induction by Garth Brooks, marriage to former NHL captain Mike Fisher of the Nashville Predators in July 2010, two sons (Isaiah and Jacob), and a Sony Music Nashville home base she has held since the Some Hearts release — Carrie Underwood is the rare modern country artist whose franchise has survived every format shift since the Idol era because the voice has never needed an algorithm to find an audience.

Carrie Underwood tour dates

The current Carrie Underwood touring chapter rolls between full-production arena legs, occasional stadium dates on co-headline bills, festival headline appearances and the "Reflection" Las Vegas residency run at The Theatre at Resorts World, which has cycled in and out of the calendar in batched stands rather than a continuous run. Historically her tours have routed through North American hockey-and-basketball arenas — Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Madison Square Garden in New York, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the United Center in Chicago, American Airlines Center in Dallas, T-Mobile Arena and the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on non-residency dates, and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle — with amphitheater swings on certain summer legs and select stadium one-offs when the demand justifies the larger building. Sets run a deliberate 105 to 120 minutes including a brief mid-show production change, with a sixteen-to-nineteen-song main set plus a multi-track encore that almost always ends on "Before He Cheats". The band is a tight seven-to-nine piece with a multi-singer backing-vocal section that anchors the gospel-style runs on "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and the show-stopping high-belt finishes that are her signature. Stage production scales up to a full thrust setup with an extended runway into the floor, a four-sided LED rig overhead, aerial and rigging elements on certain marquee dates, and a pyro and fountain build reserved for the back half — production design is part of the franchise rather than something Underwood has ever played minimalist about. Support acts rotate by leg and historically have leaned country, country-pop and gospel-leaning Americana — Maddie & Tae, Runaway June, Lindsay Ell, the Swon Brothers and Jimmie Allen have all had recent supporting runs. If a 2026 leg is announced, expect a similar arena-first routing with selected stadium or festival anchors and Resorts World residency stands woven into the gaps. Doors typically open 90 minutes before the first opener and the headline set runs from roughly 9:00 to 11:00 on most arena dates. The grid above pulls the live schedule directly from Ticketmaster and updates as new Carrie Underwood tour or residency dates are confirmed.

Carrie Underwood tickets

Carrie Underwood tickets are sold through Ticketmaster as the primary outlet for North American dates, with the Resorts World Theatre residency on its own Ticketmaster on-sale window managed by the venue. Secondary inventory appears on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster's own verified resale platform, all linked from each event card on this page. Arena pricing on a typical Carrie Underwood tour date opens with upper-bowl reserved seats at the lower end of the modern country-arena range and climbs through lower-bowl reserved, floor seats and front-of-stage premium packages — exact face value moves by city, day of week and demand, and dynamic pricing has been used on recent on-sales, so the figure at checkout can differ from the listed face value at queue open. For the Resorts World residency, theatre seating in the roughly 5,000-cap room tends to price well above a comparable arena seat because of the smaller capacity and the production-design density on the residency build. Fan club presales through the official Carrie Underwood site are the most reliable path to good seats on high-demand markets and on Vegas residency stands; sign up as soon as a new on-sale is announced to keep registration windows open. Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration has been used on select on-sales to limit bot inventory in the early window. Citi cardmember presales, venue presales and radio-station local presales fill out the rest of the on-sale week. The secondary market often beats primary on midweek arena dates and on the back end of a residency run when single seats and obstructed-view pairs surface; always buy from a marketplace with a buyer guarantee and avoid private resale on social media or classifieds.

Carrie Underwood setlist

A current Carrie Underwood setlist runs about twenty to twenty-three songs across 105 to 120 minutes with a multi-act structure and a brief mid-show production change. The night typically opens with a hard-driving uptempo cut — recent legs have used "Good Girl", "Southbound" or "Renegade Runaway" — to set the arena-rock tone, then settles into a mid-set hit run that pulls in "Cowboy Casanova", "Last Name", "Two Black Cadillacs" and the title-track "Blown Away" with the full pyro and lighting build. A quieter mid-show acoustic or piano segment is part of the running structure — "Temporary Home", "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and selections from the My Savior gospel record have anchored that section on recent legs, and the gospel material reliably draws the longest sustained reaction of the night. The back half ramps back up through "Smoke Break", "Heartbeat" and "Drinking Alone" or "Ghost Story" depending on the era, with the multi-act show building toward a "Church Bells" or "Dirty Laundry" peak before the encore. "Before He Cheats" closes the night more often than any other song — it has been the closer on essentially every major tour since the Carnival Ride cycle and is non-negotiable on the set order. Underwood occasionally rolls a cover into the back half — Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue and gospel standards have all surfaced on different legs, often as a tease into one of her own choruses. Specific song selections rotate leg to leg and the residency setlist is structurally different from the touring setlist, so do not assume a one-to-one match. Check setlist.fm after the first night of any new tour or residency leg for the current run order; fan submissions usually go up within a couple of hours of last call.
