https://youtu.be/IKKHTJv-OnY Back in November, Carrie Underwood fell down her front stairs and received dozens of stitches on her face. So many, that in January, she said that she might look different.
Tonight, five months after her accident, she performed for the first time at the ACMs. We got to see if her face looks any different. It does not. Even if she did we would still love her.
James Van Der Beek and Claire Danes are known for being ugly criers and Carrie Underwood reminded us that we all look that way when we cry, with the first song of off her upcoming album.
Ahead of her first appearance, since her accident, this Sunday at the ACMs, she released her new single Cry Pretty. She might not be able to cry pretty, but she as heck can sing that way! It is the type of tune that when you are feeling really down, you will be belting out on repeat and wishing you could cry pretty.
Ever since Carrie Underwood told us in January that she looks different because of her November fall down her front steps, we have wanted to know what she looks like now. She has given us glimpses, but has still yet to reveal what her face looks like now.
Today, she gave us an update along with the cover to her first single off the new record. She said, “First off, physically, I’m doing pretty darn good these days! My wrist is almost back to normal, about 90% there…and the docs say that last 10% will come in time. And my face has been healing pretty nicely as well. I definitely feel more like myself than I have in a while.” Then she added, “One of the silver linings for me in this healing process is the time I’ve gotten to spend with Mike and Isaiah. I’ve been calling it ‘forced relaxation.’ Sometimes I think things happen in order to make us slow down. It also means I’ve been home to support my favorite hockey player coming out of retirement!”
Sometimes, when we are going through the negative, we are not able to see the positives until we are all the way through it. Now that she is through the worst of it, she can see the best that came from it.
Another thing that came from this is her album. Tomorrow, she will release, Cry Pretty, the first single from the new CD.
Then on Sunday, she will make her first public appearance since the accident at the ACMs on CBS. Meaning, she will go head-to-head (no pun intended) against American Idol. Once again showing them who is the #1 American Idol in sales and ratings!
Carrie Underwood released the music video for her song The Champion. It is her first video since her accident back in November, so people are curious if she would show her face. She said her face was scarred from the fall and that she looks different.
For a brief second she did show her face, and it looked the same. But for most of the video, she stood behind a mic shield. Since we are our own worst critic she might see something we don’t.
I just wish she would realize that we will love her no matter what she looks like.
via SlayMeClarkson Back in November, Carrie Underwood fell down some steps outside her house in Nashville and now the American Idol is telling her fans that her injuries were much more serious than we thought. We knew she broke her wrist, but she also scratched up her face really bad. So bad, she was rushed into surgery and got 40-50 stitches on her face.
Over the weekend, she gave her fans this update, “Here we are 7 weeks later and, even though I’ve had the best people helping me, I’m still healing and not quite looking the same.” Adding, “I honestly don’t know how things are going to end up but I do know this: I am grateful. I am grateful that it wasn’t much, much, worse. And I am grateful for the people in my life that have been there every step of the way. I’ve still got a ways to go in the recovery process, but it’s encouraging to see every day be a little better than the last.”
While she admits she is not ready to go in front of the camera, she is ready to go behind the mic. In other words, she is returning to the studio next week to record some new music.
No matter how she looks, we are still going to love her. Yes, she is beautiful on the outside but she is even more gorgeous on the inside. We did not just fall in love with her for her face on Idol, we also fell in love with her heavenly voice and warm personality. That is why she has been asked to host so many shows.
Get better soon Carrie, and know we are here for you scars and all. Let Jesus take the wheel and do his magic.
