Heading into the holiday weekend, Carrie Underwood reflected on one of her favorite Fourth of July memories from her childhood in Oklahoma.

“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,” the powerhouse singer said with a laugh. She continued, in the statement shared by her record label: “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, now a mother of two young sons whom she shares with husband Mike Fisher, will kick off the next leg of her Las Vegas residency next month. The Grammy Award-winning artist is the first to take the stage as a resident headliner at the 5,000-capacity venue. Her residency, REFLECTION, began in 2021, ahead of her latest full-length album, Denim & Rhinestones. The 12-track project arrived in June 2022. Underwood added six new tracks to a deluxe edition in September 2023. Denim & Rhinestones includes “Ghost Story,” “Hate My Heart,” “Crazy Angels,” “Out Of That Truck” and more. See Underwood’s upcoming REFLECTION dates here:
