Carrie Underwood Hits the Stage for the First Time Since Her Accident

Carrie Underwood gave an emotional performance at the ACM Awards last night since having had 50 stitches on her face.

Five months ago, Carrie Underwood had a life-shattering accident. In a freak accident, Underwood fell and broke her wrist and injured her face. The face injury resulted in her getting 50 stitches and “altered her appearance.” Last night at the American Country Music Awards, Underwood made her comeback.

In Underwood’s highly anticipated comeback she sang her brand new single “Cry Pretty.” She glowed in a sequined gown. The performance was an emotional one for both Underwood and her fans. Underwood kept quiet since the accident, and was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year.

After her performance, the singer took home the Vocal Event of the Year Award for “Fighter” with Keith Urban. Despite having had 50 stitches in her face, Underwood looked flawless. She had opened up about her fall in an Instagram post to her fans writing, “I’m still healing and not quite looking the same. I honestly don’t know how things are going to end up but I do know this: I am grateful.”
