Son.THE ENTIRE AUDITORIUM, WHILE SERVING NOISY, SUDDENLY FELL SILENT… When Carrie Underwood sang the first line at the CMA Awards, the awards ceremony TRANSFORMED INTO A PRAYER — no fireworks, no technical displays, just a fragile whisper of “Softly and Tenderly”… And it was that silence that caused every heart in the auditorium TO BURST INTO EMOTION in an unexpected way.

Carrie Underwood gave an amazing performance at the CMA Awards when she sang one of her hits Softly and Tenderly. The song’s soft emotional notes touched the audience–––showing a gentle vulnerability that captivated everyone .

The hymn is often associated with concepts of comfort and hope, themes that were further suggested by Underwood’s interpretation, where her voice trembled as though Underwood was feeling the weight of the lyrics. As the last notes resounded Underwood had tears in her eyes, and the audience- first stunned in silence- erupted in a standing ovation soon after!

Underwood’s vulnerability is exquisite, and it doesn’t let performances feel traditional; instead, it is more like a personal tribute. She makes it clear that she is a human being at the end of the day, and her experience of pain and love can shake you to the core.

If this performance piques your interest, you’ve only begun to scratch the surface of everything Underwood has in store. Listen to her performance of How Great Thou Art, where she makes her status as a compelling vocalist clear.
