Carrie Underwood is in Las Vegas playing her Residency at Resorts World this week. Before she arrived in Sin City, she got a bit domesticated and was ready to do some canning.

She posted to Instagram, “When you have an epic residency @resortsworldlv in fabulous Las Vegas, but you’re kind of a nerd, you go to Ace Hardware on your day off to buy canning supplies.”

The country superstar added, “You also bring your sourdough starter (a.k.a. ‘Norm’), eggs, and granola from home. My off days shall consist of working out, sunning myself, baking bread, and canning. Just a girl who enjoys the fabulous along with the simple!”

Carrie plays shows at Resorts Word in Vegas through this weekend (6/1) and comes back to Vegas in August.

Underwood recently had some fun after she performed a show. She had a night on the town with her friend Ludacris.

Carrie posted some photos from their fun night out on her Instagram. She captioned the post, “I’m pretty sure @ludacris is the only person who could get me out to the club after my show @resortsworldlv. @zoukgrouplv was so much fun, and we even got a fun surprise watching @tpain! Thanks for a fun night out! #LasVegas #zouk.”

Fans reacted to the post in droves. One commented, “YOU DO YOU, CARRIE! What an experience I can only imagine!!” Another wrote, “I thought this was Britney Aldean at first! Love Carrie and Luda!”

Carrie’s next Reflection show in Vegas is tomorrow night (6/1). She told us of the show recently, “Reflection is just kind of all about, you know, obviously we want to get there. We want to do our hits. We want to reflect upon all the things that we’ve been so blessed to be able to have accomplished over the past few years and that I’ve been lucky enough to do this, and then obviously, when you think about a staging standpoint, Reflection is, you can do a lot with that visually.”

She added, “It just seemed like a great concept as far as what we could do with it on stage and also having that kind of personal reflection, being able to look back on all of the things that we’ve been able to do. We’re just looking forward to playing, getting to be there. We’re looking forward to the crowds. We love to be on stage, so I think that’s what we always look forward to most whenever we are ever getting to play.”

Top Five All-Time Queens Of Country Music

Lambert has been honored with more Academy of Country Music Awards than any artist in history. Miranda is also a seven-time winner of the CMA’s Female Vocalist of the Year, beating a record once held by Reba. She is also a three-time Grammy winner, with her most recent Grammy win in 2021 for Best Country Album for “Wildcard.” Lambert is currently playing her first Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood.

Reba’s superstardom in country music started in the 1980s and is still going strong today. Since the 1970s, McEntire has placed over 100 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 25 of which reached the number one spot. She has sold 75 million albums in her career. Her career also includes her acting roles: she even had her own sitcom in the early 2000s called Reba. She is currently working on a couple of Lifetime movies and has a role on ABC TV’s Big Sky, where she plays a villain for the first time in her acting career. She has won countless country music awards, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011, and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2018.

Carrie is a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry, known as country music’s church, and plays the Opry whenever she can. She has won the Entertainer of the Year honor from the ACM and has sold a whopping 70 million albums in her career since her debut in 2005. Carrie has 42 songs on Billboard and over 25 number-one hits.
2 - Loretta Lynn

Loretta started as the first country music “Queen” and the first female to win the coveted Entertainer of the Year Honor from the CMA in 1972. Her remarkable career has spanned six decades and influenced countless country queens, including Dolly and Reba. Loretta, whose life story was chronicled in an Oscar-winning movie Coal Miner’s Daughter in 1980, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988.

Although Loretta came before her, Dolly has sold more than 100 million albums in her long career, which started when she moved to Nashville straight out of high school at age 18. She has influenced countless women who came after her in all genres of music, which is evident by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month. Dolly was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999. She’s won too many awards to name, and her heart is just as big as her wallet as she gives millions of dollars away to those in need, including her million-dollar donation for the COVID vaccine. She also received a Kennedy Center honor in 2006.
