Carrie Underwood: ‘One More Week To Go’

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Carrie Underwood has two weeks under her belt performing at her Las Vegas Residency at Resorts World. She posted a video clip of some performances as well as her walking down the hall headed for the stage on Instagram.

She captioned the post, “We’ve had 2 amazing weeks of #REFLECTION so far this month, and 1 more week to go before the end of this 2023 run! You all have been amazing and I’m so thankful for everyone who’s come out to see us! Who’s coming this week?”

Many fans reacted to her new post with one writing, “See ya on Friday!!! Can’t wait!.” Another fan commented, referring to one of her songs, “Ajax to clean my dirty laundry…sounds fun…”

See that post here.

Carrie recently announced some new dates added for 2024. The new dates are October 16, 18, 19, 23, 25, 26.

Underwood said of adding the new dates around the holidays, “To quote the song, Christmas is my ‘Favorite Time of Year,’ so it’s a lot of fun to get to perform some of my favorite holiday songs during our December shows – some of them for the first time live. I’m thrilled to announce six more shows in October 2024, and can’t wait to be back on the Resorts World Theatre stage next year.”

Underwood and Miranda Lambert are both currently playing their Las Vegas residencies in Sin City. Carrie (who plays at Resorts World) recently saw Miranda’s show at Planet Hollywood. She posted to her Insta Stories about her fellow country superstar.

Underwood posted a series of photo slides. The first photo is of her and Lambert backstage, arm in arm. She wrote over the image, “Just a couple country girls hanging out in Vegas.”

The second slide shows Miranda on stage performing, and it appears Carrie is on the second or third row; she captioned the picture, “Thanks for having us @mirandalambert! Such a great show!”

In the third slide, she shows Lambert on stage with blue lighting, and she must be singing a sad song; Carrie writes, “I’m not crying, you’re crying.” The fourth and final slide again shows Miranda on stage singing, and Underwood writes, “THE @mirandalambert, people!”

Top Five Country Christmas Songs Of All Time

  • 5. Carrie Underwood - "Little Drummer Boy"

    With a cameo by her young son Isaiah singing adorably on this classic remake, it is no wonder this has quickly become a holiday favorite and makes his famous mom proud.

    Underwood is playing shows and has added Christmas song to her Las Vegas residency which she wraps up next week (12/16).

    Carrie told us recently about decorating early for Christmas this year (2023), “There’s nothing sadder than a Christmas tree up with no presents underneath it, so I don’t really think that you want to get your Christmas tree up too early, but this year, I was a little earlier than normal because we had Thanksgiving and then head out to Vegas for my Reflection shows, and I had to get everything up before I left.”

  • 4. Gwen Stefani (Featuring Blake Shelton) - "You Make It Feel Like Christmas"

    A wonderful song that puts you right into the holiday spirit. Gwen and Blake do this song beautifully together and seem to have fun with every word they sing.

    On the footnote version of the title song’s music video, Stefani said, “The idea of getting to be a part of people’s holidays through music is one of the greatest gifts. Christmas music lives forever.”

    She also noted in the video footnotes that the video idea was inspired by the 1960s TV show Bewitched, a show both of them loved as kids. Gwen and Blake co-wrote the song “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.”

  • 3. Brad Paisley - "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy"

    This is an excellent take on the 1960s original Christmas song by country music icon Buck Owens. Brad does this to perfection honoring his late friend. Garth Brooks also covered this song on his first Christmas album, Beyond The Season.

  • 2. Dolly Parton - "Hard Candy Christmas"

    Not initially known as or written as a Christmas song, this song comes from the soundtrack of Dolly Parton’s 1982 movie Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. The song has become a classic and has been covered by many after Dolly, including her friend Reba.

  • 1. Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"

    Possibly one of the best holiday songs in any genre; not a year goes by that we don’t spin this record on repeat. In 2023, sixty-five years after its first release to radio, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time ever.

    By hitting the No.1 spot, Brenda Lee breaks several records. Many of those records were held by Mariah Carey and “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which Lee beat out for the top spot.
