Carrie Underwood knows how to “Cry Pretty” during Sunday night’s episode of “American Idol” she dropped a dramatic video to the new song. The video shows strength and vulnerability which we can say Carrie Underwood has both.
Yahoo adds, Underwood’s “Cry Pretty” video is centered around a live performance. Clips of her stage show are mixed with scenes from backstage and her hotel room where she’s seen crying to the point of ruining her makeup. A particularly dramatic scene finds Underwood in the shower rinsing off the pain of whatever moment she’s living through. She’s fully clothed during this shower scene, which comes before and after other scenes that show her walking from a hotel room in sunglasses.
“Cry Pretty” is the first song from Underwood’s next studio album, her first in nearly three years and her first on UMG Nashville after a post-“American Idol” career spent on Sony Music Nashville. The album is called “Cry Pretty” and will be released on Sept.14. Thus far the title track is the only song the 2018 WE Fest headliner has shared with fans, but she’s indicated she’s done plenty of writing for her sixth studio album.
The singer will return to “American Idol,” on May 13th to mentor the contestants for the remainder of the season. She is also rumored to perform “Cry Pretty” live on the show. This appearance and the reveal of the official music video continues a slow entrance back into the public spotlight after over a year off. It’s not clear how much injuries sustained during a fall at home in November derailed plans to introduce new music. Underwood started recording the album in January and began teasing songs in early spring before her national television debut of “Cry Pretty” at the 2018 ACM Awards.
A teaser for the music video came last week and all along Underwood has been gently teasing tour news. The only confirmed full concert on her calendar is at WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn. on Aug. 2.
