American Idol
Carrie, is that you??
Ms. Carrie Underwood has been all over lately—from her Opry 100 Randy Travis tribute, to singing a cappella at the inauguration, to judging the new season of American Idol. But from the video that she posted on her socials yesterday… folks aren’t exactly talking about her vocals.
In the video, Carrie channels her early 2000s “Before He Cheats” sass and reenacts the moment from the chorus. You know the one – digging her key into the side of someone’s souped up four wheel drive. As she’s doing just that:
But this time around she looked much different than what we picture when we hear that song. She’s rocking a bedazzled cream jacket, big earrings, and clear framed glasses that could be throwing off her signature look. She for sure is camera-ready, probably on set for something for American Idol, but the internet wasted no time pointing it out.
The very top comment is “Anyone else feel like she’s unrecognizable??” with a whole 4,669 likes
There’s lots more saying the same thing:
“She looks different”
“What’s with the unnecessary plastic surgery?”
“I don’t know what happen to the sweet Carrie we fell in love with”
“Ummm who is this? I don’t recognize her at all”
“You don’t look the same, too much plastic surgery”
“Getting more plastic surgery?”
Some fans didn’t recognize her, and there were lots of the plastic surgery allegations. Of course, a few rushed to her defense reminding everyone that Carrie had a serious facial injury in 2017, where she fell on her porch and had to get over 40 stitches. But that was 8 years ago…
She’s also wearing safety glasses…
I mean, I didn’t know people could be so rude to Carrie, but that wasn’t the extent of it. The other half of the comments were about how terrible of timing it was for her to be vandalizing a car. There has been quite the group of crazies setting fire to dealerships, keying electric cars in public parking lots, and even planting explosives in protest of Elon Musk and his work with DOGE in the Donald Trump administration.
So when Carrie dropped a video where she is keying a red truck, people had a lot more to say about her looks and the political climate, than her old song or the television show that it was for.
This isn’t even the first time she’s getting comments on her different appearance:
Carrie Underwood does look different. Either she’s had a lot of work, or it’s not the same person.🤷♀️ pic.twitter.com/sRQLLfaMgP

She hasn’t responded to any of the comments or tweets yet, and probably never will, but it’s time the internet probably lets it go, eh? It’s safe to say the whole thing was filmed months ago, well before the Tesla chaos even blew up.
And as for her looks, I also think that maybe this has been more of Carrie Underwood than we are used to seeing since her old American Idol days. It’s like people forget that she has been a country music superstar for nearly two decades- and yes, people age, change their style, and experiment with their looks. Heaven forbid she wears glasses and a full face of makeup to be on national television.
When she changes her voice, that’s when I’ll have a problem, but I don’t think we’ll have to worry about that…
