Carrie Underwood Staged Fireworks Shows For Mom and Dad

Carrie Underwood loves to celebrate the Fourth of July, and she loves fireworks, as noted in all the pyrotechnics in her live shows over the years.

According to Carrie, her love of fireworks started at an early age, when she would perform for her parents. She recalls, “I think my favorite Fourth of July memory would be going to the fireworks stand and picking out which fireworks I wanted to do. I must’ve been like 7 or 8, and I came home and made a list of what order I wanted to do them in because I wanted to put a show on for Mom and Dad, and of course, I couldn’t wait until it was dark outside (laughs)."

She explained, "So, I made my Mom and Dad get the lawn chairs and come out to the backyard and watch some not very dramatic fireworks at like six o’clock in the evening, but I was so proud of myself, and I was so proud of the show that I put on. So, I feel like that was a little training for what I do now – putting on shows, figuring out how it’s all going to work out.”

Underwood's next tour date is July 23 at the Twin Cities Summer Jam in Minnesota.
