Carrie Underwood’s live performance of “Hate My Heart” at the 2023 CMT Music Awards delivers more than just powerful vocals—it tells a story so real it hits you right in the chest. The video opens with Carrie under bright lights singing from a place of frustration and emotional honesty. The lyrics say it all: “I hate my heart right-now, underneath the covers in the dark right now.” She’s not begging for a second chance—she’s just trying to figure out why her heart won’t let go. It’s personal, it’s loud, and it’s something so many have felt before.
What makes the video stand out is how Carrie brings every word to life. She paces the stage with purpose, each movement matching the push-and-pull of the lyrics “I don’t want him back, that ain’ it… but this thing in my chest just can’t forget.” That line lands hard. It’s not about missing the person—it’s about being stuck in the feeling. The video captures her frustration, her fire, and that painful in-between space where the mind says “move on,” but the heart isn’t ready.
