Carrie Underwood closed Carolina Country Music Fest in a driving rain that might have sent another artist’s fans scurrying.
If we’re being honest, there are plenty of artists that might have scurried, or at least tried to keep dry beneath the short outdoor ceiling that protects equipment at music festivals.

- Musically, Underwood is between albums after releasing Denim & Rhinestones in 2022.
