Carrie Underwood had a wardrobe moment that was almost as dramatic as her performances during her recent Good Morning America appearance. The country diva, who’s always in the spotlight, accidentally flashed her underwear while belting out her latest hit—but did she let it ruin her show? Absolutely not.
The 41-year-old powerhouse showed up on Friday morning to celebrate her new gig as an American Idol judge. Dressed to impress in micro denim shorts, a crisp white shirt, and a dazzling, sparkly jacket, she was a vision of country glam. Her signature long, blonde curls were bouncing with every move as she strutted across the stage in knee-high denim boots.
Fans Praised Carrie For How She Handled The Situation
In true Carrie fashion, she kept her cool and continued to perform flawlessly despite the fashion faux pas. The wardrobe slip happened when she threw her head back with all the enthusiasm of a true performer, and eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice.
The internet quickly erupted with praise for Carrie’s performance. One fan tweeted, "Oooooo I just came into my living room & caught @carrieunderwood on @GMA. Woohoooooo She is such a great entertainer & her vocals can’t be beat. Thanks for making my day GMA!"
Another added, "Can we take a second to appreciate this outfit?" along with a snap of Carrie, declaring, "What a beauty."
A third fan gushed, "@carrieunderwood looking and sounding amazing on @GMA today," while another commented, "Carrie does not look 41," and a sixth cheered, "Amazing performance and interview. Watched and danced along."
