Carrie Underwood, the 43-year-old country singer, recently showcased her patriotism on Instagram by sharing a video of her driving past a fence adorned with American flags. She expressed her gratitude in the caption, “I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord.” Her display of American pride inspired many fans in the comments section, one even mentioning a similar experience at Eric Trump’s Trump Winery in Virginia as deeply moving.
“I can’t believe I get to live here,” Underwood said, sharing her feelings about her surroundings.
The singer’s appreciation for her country was echoed by her followers, with comments praising the patriotic display and expressing pride. One fan noted that such displays made personal sacrifices feel less painful.
Underwood’s patriotism isn’t new; in January 2025, she performed “America the Beautiful” in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda during President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Despite a brief technical glitch, Underwood asked the crowd for support, singing a cappella, which was met with mixed reactions. She emphasized the importance of unity in a statement.
Criticism of her participation came from various sources, including Joy Behar from “The View,” but others defended her. Lee Greenwood expressed confidence in Underwood’s performance, calling for respect and unity during the event.
Underwood, who gained fame after winning “American Idol” in 2005, announced her return as a judge on the show in February 2025, succeeding Katy Perry. Since her “American Idol” days, Underwood has earned significant accolades, including eight Grammy Awards and selling over 22.5 million albums in the U.S.
