Carrie Underwood hit the jackpot in Las Vegas with her electrifying REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency, at Resorts Theatre inside Resorts World Las Vegas on the Vegas strip.

Show-Stopping Performance That Spanned Her 20-Year Career

On Friday, October 18, the 41-year-old country superstar made her grand appearance to Las Vegas’ largest and tallest stage in a massive glass crystal as she kicked off her electrifying set with a show-stopping performance of “Cowboy Casanova,” a track from her 2009 project, Play On.

Throughout the set, Underwood reflected on her longevity with a set list that spanned her entire 20-year career, including songs from her debut project, Some Hearts, all the way up to 2018’s Cry Pretty.

During the impressive 20-song set, Underwood more than delivered vocally as she took fans on a celebratory journey of her award-winning career, while performing some of her greatest hits such as “Dirty Laundry,” “Wasted,” “Good Girl,” “Undo It,” “Last Name,” “Church Bells,” “Blown Away,” among many others.

The larger than life production amplified the eight-time GRAMMY Award winner’s star power to shine even brighter (although it’s not necessary, as her powerhouse vocals speak volumes). The show, which marks Underwood’s first-ever Las Vegas Residency, featured a top-notch production that brought Underwood’s chart-topping hits to life, captivating the sold-out crowd.

A Visually-Stunning Production

The 5,000-capacity theatre allowed Underwood to deliver an intimate, yet massive, show with an innovative production that couldn’t be brought on the road. Underwood’s stellar production included special effects, state-of-the-art technology, a waterfall, pyrotechnics, massive video walls, a moving stage and so much more, making for a visually stunning concert event. Her high-energy performance also featured her very talented band, dancers, aerialists, and a virtual orchestra.

Underwood, who was the first artist to grace the theatre’s stage, sparkled throughout the evening in a stunning array of one-of-a-kind costumes, each of which were complete with sparkles, rhinestone and fringe.

While Underwood’s powerhouse vocals were put on full display throughout the entire show, there were several jaw-dropping vocal moments, especially noted when she delivered soaring renditions of “How Great Thou Art,” “Cry Pretty” and “Something In The Water/Amazing Grace.”

A Breathtaking Finale Of “Something In The Water”

Underwood gave fans a breathtaking finale from beneath a waterfall, where she delivered a performance of “Something In The Water” that was so good it sent chills down fans spines.

The show was directed by Barry Lather, with Creative Production & Show design by Nick Whitehouse & Fireplay, and Costume Design/Wardrobe Styling by Emma Trask.

With a visually-stunning and truly mind-blowing production, Underwood’s powerhouse vocals and a slew of chart-topping hits, REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency will surely go down in history as one of the best shows on the Las Vegas strip.

Additionally, Carrie Underwood recently extended the highly-successful 3+ year run, adding three final performances of REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency on April 9, 11 & 12, 2025, concluding her reign as the venue’s first and longest-running headliner.

“I have absolutely loved performing in Las Vegas over the past three years,” Underwood stated in a press release. “I am so proud of the REFLECTION production, which is truly one of my favorite shows to perform. It’s been so special to reflect on the greatest hits that have defined my career so far and to get to share them with the fans that come to Vegas from all over the world.”

“It has been an honor to have Carrie serve as our first and longest-running headliner at Resorts World Theatre,” Bobby Reynolds, Senior Vice President, AEG Presents Las Vegas, continued. “Reflecting on her last three and a half years at this venue is marked with a myriad of unforgettable moments.
