Carrie Underwood is proud to be an American.
The 43-year-old country singer recently took to Instagram to share a video of her driving past a large fence adorned with American flags throughout the length of the property.
“I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord. #GodBlessAmerica #Grateful #TN,” she captioned the post.
Fans in the comments section were just as inspired by the display of patriotism, with one saying a similar display they saw at Eric Trump’s Trump Winery in Virginia “actually brought tears to my eyes. So patriotic.”
“I feel the same way! Thank You, Lord for bringing us here,” another fan wrote, while a third added, “Beautiful and patriotically stunning! So proud.”
“Oh my gosh. I hope others that served like me get to see this post,” another fan wrote. “If those flags reflect your appreciation for your freedom, that display makes the stuff I’ve experienced a little less painful. Thank you, Carrie. Thanks to Mike and the boys, too.”
Underwood showed her patriotism in January 2025, when she performed “America the Beautiful” in the US Capitol Rotunda during the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
She avoided an awkward moment when the music cut out ahead of her performance, leading her to tell the crowd, “You know the words, help me out here,” and singing it a cappella.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
The announcement was met with mixed reactions, with some, such as “The View’s” Joy Behar, criticizing her decision, and others defending it.
During an interview with Fox News Digital at the time, Lee Greenwood came to her defense, saying, “She will do a great job singing at the Capitol with ‘America the Beautiful.’
“I’ll sing before the President takes his oath,” he added. “She will sing after. And just the moment will be magic. For those people who have something negative to say, I say keep it to yourself. Don’t attack a friend of mine who is here for the same reason as I am to inaugurate the 47th President of the United States.”
Underwood rose to fame in 2005 as the Season 4 winner of “American Idol.”
Since her time on the show, the “Jesus, Take the Wheel” singer has won eight Grammy Awards and sold over 22.5 million albums in the United States alone.
She later announced her return to the show in a February 2025 Instagram post, letting fans know she would be replacing Katy Perry as a judge on the show.
