ABC/Mark LevineWednesday night, any sort of maternity leave that Carrie Underwood was able to carve out of her busy schedule will officially be over. The “Southbound” hitmaker kicks off her Cry Pretty 360 Tour in Greensboro, North Carolina, after giving birth to her son, Jacob, in January.
Of course, Carrie’s already been back at work getting ready to launch her new show.
“Rehearsals have been going really great,” she reveals. “My band is amazing as always, and I feel like every year and every album, you know, they get better and better, and everybody gets more comfortable with each other and people just have even more fun on stage.”
Carrie’s previous Storyteller trek wrapped at the end of 2016, and is the undeniable high point of her touring life so far. But the Oklahoma native warns she’s raising the stakes on the new run, which, like its predecessor, will be in the round.
“I feel like fans are really going to be able to feel the love and all the hard work that has gone into this tour,” Carrie predicts. “There’s so many people that have thought long and hard about how to make this show better than anything that we’ve ever done before.”
“I feel like it’s gonna be easy to sit in the audience and recognize that,” she adds.
Maddie & Tae and Runaway June join Carrie for the all-girl tour, which continues on Friday with a stop in Birmingham, Alabama.
