For more information including the Cry Pretty album/ticket bundle, go to http://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com. Also beginning Monday, August 13th, a limited number of exclusive VIP Packages will be available which include an amazing selection of tickets, Meet & Greets, autographed memorabilia, custom merchandise and much more.

Citi® is the official presale credit card for Carrie Underwood’s “The Cry Pretty Tour 360” for 2019. As such, Citi® cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning on Monday, August 13 at 12pm until Thursday, August 16 at 10pm through Citi’s Private Pass® program. For complete presale details, visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

Underwood will release her eagerly-anticipated new album, Cry Pretty, on September 14. Cry Pretty will be her first studio album on Capitol Records Nashville and marks the first time she has co-produced her own album. The lead single and title track, “Cry Pretty” debuted as the #1 song in the U.S. all-genres. The song also topped download charts in 38 countries around the world and amassed over 3.5 billion social impressions across 66 countries during its week of launch in April, which was culminated with a show-stopping performance on the “2018 ACM Awards” telecast. Carrie co-wrote the powerful single with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose (aka The Love Junkies) and co-produced Cry Pretty with fellow writer/producer David Garcia.  

Following her successful “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round,” the new production will feature a brand-new stage in the middle of the arena floor, creating a unique 360-degree setting to allow fans on all sides of the arena an intimate view of the concert.  Barry Lather (Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson) is the tour’s Creative Director, and Nick Whitehouse/Fireplay (Justin Timberlake, Beyonce) is Production Designer.  

“I love performing in the round,” says Underwood.  “It’s so much fun for me and the band to play in every direction and creates a much more intimate and immersive experience for the audience, even in a larger arena setting.  It’s been exciting to introduce audiences to Cry Pretty and I can’t wait to bring the new album to life on this tour, along with all of the songs we love to play live.  I’m thrilled to be going out with an amazing line-up – Maddie & Tae and Runaway June are incredible artists that are going to bring even more electricity to our shows.”   

“Our customers love getting early access to the best in entertainment, so we are thrilled to be partnering with Carrie Underwood as the official presale credit card of her 2019 tour,” said Jennifer Breithaupt, Global Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, Citi.  

Underwood has arranged for a donation of $1 from each ticket sold for The Cry Pretty Tour 360 to be contributed to Danita’s Children, which provides a safe haven for abandoned and vulnerable children in Haiti, while encouraging families to stay together through their education and malnutrition programs.

Prior to embarking on the tour next Spring, Underwood will appear at the upcoming iHeart Music Festival in Las Vegas, as well as such international festivals as The Long Road Festival and Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park in the UK, Tuckerville in The Netherlands, and Deni Ute Muster in Australia.

July 26th – Meliissaaxo

Meet Melissa M. aka Meliissaaxo, this week’s Featured Care Bear! Learn more about Melissa and her Care Bear story below.

Where are you from? Vernon, CT

What was the very first Carrie Underwood song you heard? Jesus Take the Wheel

How many years have you been a Carrie Underwood fan? 13

How many Carrie Underwood shows have you been to? 9

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? Nashville (1100 Miles)

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I’ve always adored Carrie and her music like others have since her Idol days but I think for me personally my biggest Carrie inspiration comes from her health and fitness. I’ve always struggled feeling confident and there is something about Carrie that makes me feel so empowered – whether I’m listening to her music during a workout, or rocking some CALIA, it motivates me to be the best I can be.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: In June 2017, my friend Nicole and I had the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia and see Carrie’s show. We had gotten there early in the morning, made these cute Carrie inspired jean jackets, met other fans from all over the US and had a blast singing our hearts out. Carrie surprised about 15-20 of us that were there early in the morning by coming out after her soundcheck. If that wasn’t amazing enough, a few hours later Nicole & I were surprised with official M&Gs. What made this extra special for me is that Nicole & I met through Carrie’s FC and being able to experience my first M&G with her was absolutely perfect. I am so grateful for Carrie, her music, and the friends she has brought into my life.

July 12th – Kari_Leija

Meet Kariana L. aka Kari_Leija, this week’s Featured Care Bear! Learn more about Kariana and her Care Bear story below.

Where are you from? San Antonio, TX

What was the very first Carrie Underwood song you heard? Jesus Take the Wheel

How many years have you been a Carrie Underwood fan? Since American Idol

How many Carrie Underwood shows have you been to? Only one, which was The Storyteller Tour

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? 8 miles to the AT&T Center

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I am just one of millions of fans, but I think what sets me apart from other fans is my love for her music. I love Carrie as well, she is a wonderful, talented and beautiful human being. Her music is so relatable, and if I wouldn’t have heard her music, I don’t think I would be the singer I am today. I sing because I love it and because Carrie inspires me with her music. I do not love any artist and their music more than Carrie. She has been a role model to me a little more than half of my life. I really hope to meet her one day.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: When Carrie’s album Some Hearts came out, my parents bought it for me and we were at my grandparents house when my dad made a bet with me. He said I bet you can’t learn a song on that album and sing it by memory by tonight. I asked for 30 bucks for each song I learned. We shook hands on it, then I locked myself in my aunts bedroom and went through to see which song stuck out to me and I learned Jesus Take the Wheel in a few minutes. Then I heard Before He Cheats and Don’t Forget To Remember Me. I learned them both as well! And the last song on the album is Inside your Heaven and I learned that one last. I sang all four songs to my family and I ended up getting 120 dollars because I learned four rather than just one song. My dad was proud of me for setting my mind on something and doing it, the money… not so much.

Meet Julene P. aka Julene_Justine, this week’s Featured Care Bear! Learn more about Julene and her Care Bear story below.

Where are you from? Garden City, MI

What was the very first Carrie Underwood song you heard? I first heard her cover “I Can’t Make You Love Me”, while auditioning for AI.

How many years have you been a Carrie Underwood fan? 13 years (I would use the house phone and both of my parent’s cell phones to vote for her on AI)

How many Carrie Underwood shows have you been to? 5

What is the farthest you have travelled for a Carrie Underwood show? Michigan to Tennessee: 528 miles

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I have a cat named Checotah.

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: I moved out of my parent’s house when I was 19 & I had a hard time listening to “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” without getting pretty emotional because of how rocky the transition was. The same month of the move, my friend & I drove across the state to see Carrie perform at a county fair (I’ve never run so fast, but I made it to the front and center of the stage). Before Carrie began to sing “Don’t Forget to Remember Me”, she spoke on family, goodbyes, & then dedicated it to the audience going through exactly what I was at the time. My perception on the song was completely changed that day. For over 13 years, I have been a dedicated Carrie fan. The best part about this journey is knowing that Carrie is a person who struggles just like the rest of us, but through everything she has kept a strong relationship with God, family & she has always stayed humble.

What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? As I live in the U.K., I’ll stay up until 4/5am to live stream Carrie’s appearances at award shows and other various TV shows/events. Also, to listen to the Opry stream whenever she plays there. ?

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: Meeting Carrie outside the BBC Radio 2 studios in London, was by far the best experience ever. I travelled four hours just to maybe have a chance to say hello. She was so sweet and signed both CD covers that I brought. They’re now my most prized possessions. I also met two of my greatest friends that day. The wonderful people that Carrie and her music has brought into my life is amazing, and I’m so grateful for them.
