Carrie Underwood recently took to Instagram to express her pride in being an American. The 43-year-old country singer shared a video of herself driving past a fence lined with American flags, showcasing her deep love for the country.

“I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord,” she captioned, adding hashtags for gratitude and patriotism. Her fans were equally touched, with comments reflecting admiration and shared patriotic sentiments. One fan mentioned a similar inspiring display at Eric Trump’s Trump Winery in Virginia, which had brought them to tears.

Underwood’s Instagram post resonated deeply with her followers. Comments included messages of appreciation to veterans and recognition of the beauty of the display. One comment noted, “If those flags reflect your appreciation for your freedom, that display makes the stuff I’ve experienced a little less painful. Thank you, Carrie.”

Underwood has a history of patriotic gestures. In January 2025, she performed “America the Beautiful” a cappella at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda during President Donald Trump’s inauguration. When the music cut out before her performance, Underwood encouraged the audience to join in, showcasing her poise and patriotism.

Her decision to sing at the inauguration drew mixed reactions. Underwood stated, “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.” She emphasized the importance of unity and a shared future.

Lee Greenwood defended her decision, stating, “She will do a great job singing at the Capitol with ‘America the Beautiful.’ For those people who have something negative to say, I say keep it to yourself.”

Underwood first gained fame as the winner of the fourth season of “American Idol” in 2005. Since then, she has achieved significant success, with eight Grammy Awards and over 22.5 million albums sold in the United States. In February 2025, she announced her return to “American Idol,” replacing Katy Perry as a judge.
