The occasion marked Carrie’s first public appearance since the accident, which left the 35-year-old with 40 stitches in her face. After undergoing facial surgery, Carrie has been very careful to only show only partial pictures of her face on social media.
“When I am ready to get back in front of the camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a little different,” Underwood shared with fans on her website in January.

This is honestly one of the prettiest sounds I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m obsessed with this part of the song 😍😍
I LOVE the rest of it, of course. But this note and how effortlessly she sings it!!! #CarrieisBack #CryPretty #CarrieUnderwood @carrieunderwood pic.twitter.com/hpsyqYd3wP

So many live performances sound pitchy, but #CarrieUnderwood is one of the few that sound just as good live. She is almost pitch perfect. #CryPretty #ACMawards
