Carrie Thrills Fans With Beautifully Haunting New Single “Ghost Story” Available Today (March 18)

After teasing fans with a series of mysterious posts beginning the night before her birthday this past week, 7 Carrie’s highly-anticipated new single, “Ghost Story,” is available today. The lyric video for the cinematic track is also available now.

Written by Josh Kear, Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia and co-produced by David Garcia and Underwood, the superstar describes “Ghost Story” as “a different take on a revenge song, which is something I love to sing about.  Instead of smashing headlights, this scorned lover is letting her ex know that she will continue to haunt him no matter how hard he tries to forget her.”

“Ghost Story” is the latest collaboration between Carrie and Garcia, having co-produced her critically-acclaimed 2018 release, Cry Pretty, which marked the first time Underwood produced her own album.  Garcia and Underwood also co-produced Underwood’s 2021 album of gospel hymns, My Savior.  Underwood and Lindsey have collaborated on a string of hits such as “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” “So Small,” “Last Name,” “Smoke Break,” “Church Bells,” and the now-iconic title track, “Cry Pretty.” Kear co-wrote Underwood’s signature hits, “Before He Cheats” and “Blown Away,” and co-wrote another cinematic classic, “Two Black Cadillacs” with Underwood and Lindsey.
 
Carrie’s new single comes on the heels of winning her 16th ACM Award on March 7 – for Single of the Year with Jason Aldean for their smash hit duet, “If I Didn’t Love You.”  The multi-week #1 “If I Didn’t Love You” has spent a record-setting 26 weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard Country Airplay so far, with more than 323 million global streams RTD..
 
Carrie is nominated for two 2022 GRAMMY® Awards– for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year for My Savior, and she and Aldean are nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “If I Didn’t Love You.”   The duo was also nominated this week for two 2022 CMT Music Awards for “If I Didn’t Love You” – Collaborative Video of the Year and Video of the Year, which Carrie won in 2021 for “Hallelujah,” with John Legend.  She continues to reign as the most awarded artist in CMT history with 23 total wins.
 
On March 23, she continues her ongoing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency at the Resorts World Theatre, having opened the new 5,000-capacity, world-class theatre, the first artist to grace the largest and tallest stage in Las Vegas, with six sold-out shows in December.  Conceived by Carrie to celebrate some of the highlights of her stellar recording and touring career over the years, REFLECTION celebrates her greatest hits from over 15 years as an award-winning international superstar.  The production brings beloved fan favorites to life in a whole new way, utilizing spectacular special effects, pyrotechnics and state-of-the-art visual and audio technology, with Carrie joined onstage by her band, dancers, aerialists and a special virtual orchestra.  $1 from every ticket sold will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Carrie and REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency are thrilling fans coming to Vegas from around the world and critics alike:

“Carrie Underwood approaches her residency at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas like a championship-caliber football team might approach the Super Bowl.  The tools for greatness already existed before this debut; she wouldn’t be there if they didn’t.  But a plan lacking a brilliant concept, relentless preparation, focused teamwork and attention to every dazzling detail would fall short of transformative. And Underwood’s show is transformative.”  (Taste of Country)

“There is a time to stay dry, and a time to get wet. Carrie Underwood performed a cannonball at the Theatre at Resorts World on Wednesday night.  She threw open the 5,000 capacity theatre with a leap into the deep end.”  (Las Vegas Review-Journal)

“The country superstar brought big pipes and big production values to open the new 5,000-seat venue.”  (Billboard)

“Throughout the evening, Underwood sparkled – her wardrobe, from head to foot, and her powerful and stunning voice. She literally shook the house when ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ morphed into ‘How Great Thou Art.’”  (Las Vegas Sun)

“It’s no surprise that Underwood has now etched her name in Las Vegas entertainment history as the opening act at the brand-new, state-of-the-art Resorts World Theatre.”  (Las Vegas Weekly)

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

The Resorts World Theatre, exclusively programmed and operated by Concerts West / AEG Presents, is a state-of-the-art, multi-level venue designed by the award-winning international design firm, Scéno Plus.
