When two of country music’s most powerful voices unite, sparks are bound to fly and that’s exactly what happened when Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert performed “Something Bad” for the very first time at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. Dressed in leather and attitude, the duo stormed the stage with raw vocals, rock-country grit, and a chemistry that commanded every eye in the room.
This wasn’t just another live debut; it was a statement. “Something Bad” is a rebellious anthem with roaring guitars, pounding drums and lyrics that celebrate breaking the rules with fearless confidence. From the first stomping beat, Carrie and Miranda brought fierce energy, harmonizing over lyrics about road trips, crime sprees and a whole lot of trouble. And the crowd? They were all in.

Fans and critics alike raved about the collaboration. The performance quickly gained over 1.4 million views and marked one of the most talked-about moments of the night: “These two queens OWNED that stage” and “I miss this kind of country. Loud, wild, and fun!”
After setting the Billboard stage ablaze, Carrie took things in a more spiritual direction with her “My Savior” project. Her live rendition of “How Great Thou Art” at the Ryman showcased her range, moving from edgy duets to soul-stirring hymns.

In this powerful gospel performance she trades leather for reverence. Her vocal control, emotion and passion prove she’s as capable of delivering chills in a chapel as she is commanding a Vegas stage.
Carrie’s balance of bold, genre-crossing performances and deeply personal music has made her a standout on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, where millions follow her journey from country rebel to gospel angel—and everything in between.
