Carrie Underwood is undeniably one of the most cherished female country artists of our time, celebrated for her powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics.
Her recent performance at the 2024 CMA Awards received widespread acclaim, but some fans believe they noticed something others overlooked, sparking discussions online.
This week, Underwood made a surprise appearance at the 2024 Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. Joining forces with fellow country star Cody Johnson, the duo delivered a captivating rendition of “I’m Gonna Love You.”
The singer stepped onto the stage in a leather vest adorned with white fringe, paired with a lace dress. Her signature blonde waves framed her face, complementing her stunning look. While her powerful performance earned widespread applause, some couldn’t help but focus on her appearance instead.
One commenter wrote, “She needs to let some air out of her lips,” while another said, “Love her voice and music, but what the heck did she do to her lips?”
Others also fixated on her looks, with one remarking, “Okay, she’s beautiful. Why did she have to do the botox. I just don’t get it. Personally, I think it ruined her. She was fine, just the way she was.”
One user speculated, asking, “Is it just me, or is Carrie showing a little pregnancy bump?” while another echoed the sentiment with a brief comment, “Baby bump?”
Thankfully, many fans kept their attention on the performance of *I’m Gonna Love You,* praising it enthusiastically. The song, featured as the lead single on Cody Johnson’s deluxe album released in November, is accompanied by a music video showcasing stunning landscapes and horses. The duo’s heartfelt performance clearly resonated with audiences.
Johnson had previously expressed his desire to collaborate with Underwood on the track, saying, “It’s like Carrie Underwood or nobody.” He believed her voice would be the perfect complement to his, adding, “We’re just staring at each other, kind of going off each other.”
This year, Johnson received five nominations at the CMA Awards. He took home the Album of the Year award for *Leather,* while his songs “Dirt Cheap” and “The Painter” were both nominated for Song of the Year. *The Painter* also earned a nomination for Video of the Year.
Johnson also earned a nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year, marking his third consecutive nomination. He previously won the award in 2022 for his hit song “’Til You Can’t.”
