Carrie Underwood Opens Up About Her Accident, New Music, & Athletic Clothing Line | TODAY

[@manilowmeltsme]

Gosh, I am so glad that so many share the same opinion as me. I was afraid to leave a comment because I didn't want people to think I'm insensitive, but honestly, I am really tired of hearing about this. So many other people in this world suffer from so much worse. This really is kind of ridiculous.

[@taralouisepatenaude7685]

Oh I love this. Ive met Carrie a few times- shes so sweet. I met her the day my mom died and she just gave me a hug- which was what I needed because I got tired of people asking me how I was.

[@SoonerBear]

That's great. She didn't care that she hardly knew you. Amazing woman. I can't imagine what she went through in 2017. That was a hard year for me, too. However, in some aspects, she had an even harder year. I'm sure she thanks the Good Lord everyday for her blessings & that she came through it. We learn more from the difficult experiences, if we choose to. God didn't intend for it to be easy. She is just as stunningly beautiful as she was before the accident. Life is 10% what happens to us & 90% how we handle it. God bless you Carrie & your family! Merry Christmas!

[@Michelle.05]

I saw this interview on tv and I thought something was off with Carrie. There’s something she doesn’t want everyone to know and she has that right to not share it. With or without scars, Carrie is beautiful inside and out.

[@klimber10001]

This was 5 years ago and when I see her I think of her "accident" .. I never believed it completely. She either had plastic surgery or there is something going on in her life she wants to keep quiet...it's her business of course, but she's got a secret.

[@bellagrace9812]

I've watched Carrie from her American Idol days, how she could ever think that a possible scar could ever take away from her is beyond me. We love her for her beauty inside first, her music talent second and her outer beauty last.

[@surlespasdondine]

I fell down a flight of stairs recently - it was SCARY. And I cried for 2 weeks because of how I looked - like I was not myself anymore. After a month you can barely see anything anymore, that doesn't mean it wasn't bad.

[@mistykitty25]

Absolutely love Carrie Underwood, it's inspiring how she got through her injury with strength, dignity and spirituality

[@spross1000]

Amazing that the hospital stay etc was not leaked or caught by paparazzi! How she pulled that off is amazing!

[@staceynoffke]

I can definitely see there is something different. But she's still beautiful. I hope someday she feels comfortable enough to not hide it with makeup. It's just part of her story and makes her who she is.

[@annchovey2089]

Spoken like someone who doesn't make their living on the stage and promoting a make-up line. Her face is part of the way she makes a living.

[@staceynoffke]

No, I don't make my living on a stage but I do sell a specific makeup line. And I have two large scars on my face from an accident that I don't hide.

[@drewbartlett460]

Stacey Noffke, good for you! If you ever do feel a bit insecure about your scars, listen to Scars by Mandisa. Love it so much!

[@carriemyers7209]

I love Carrie..she's SO inspiring...I'm on a journey of getting fit,I've lost 116lbs in 1yr and a half..I'm constantly playing Champion in my head,now I'm training for my very 1st 5k run , I just turned 42 last wed😊💜

[@sizzleyou]

Honestly, same thing happened to me in Feb and i experienced the same emotions as her. I could barely look at myself in the mirror and it felt like i lost a part of myself. The recovery process wasn't good. I looked like a different person the first few weeks because my face was swollen af. Unless you've been in her shoes, you've no right to judge the way she handled the incident. It was very traumatising for me because i kept having flashbacks of the incident and i'm still recovering. I fainted and busted my left brow, and had 7 stitches. She had so much more...i'm glad she's doing much better now. Please be sympathetic

[@christar9527]

I had two serious eye injuries. The first...medical malpractice which left me with the eye fully turning inward and severe twisting in my face and it was permanent. I looked horrible. I finally found a surgeon to do experimental surgery and after he did it I was smashed in the same eye. I’m blind and my face and eyes make me look nothing like I once did. I was considered “drop dead gorgeous “, “stunningly beautiful” all that went away at age 29. I’m in pain every day. Carrie has no injuries to really speak of. I don’t know why she acts so weird other than she’s covering for the enormous amount of cosmetic surgery she’s obviously had done on the face. She should talk to someone like me. Then she’d know what real facial injury and damage is.

[@maverick6442]

I think sometimes when you have a severe injury like she had , there is deep bruising, and the cut usually has a bump and you don't know how it's gonna heal and I think that's what concerned her, Carrie you're as beautiful as ever stay strong. ❤

[@BB-nb9ls]

Going Coastal are u kidding?!?

[@Julie86Mac]

I would exactly call it "severe".

[@taralouisepatenaude7685]

40 stitches IS severe and being a head injury, Im sure there was a significant amount of blood. Her wrist was likely pretty painful and the surgery and screws slowed down the healing of that injury as well.

[@maverick6442]

Just saying I've had a lot of stitches in my life.Dude, I can't believe there's so many haters!

[@dlm8763]

I don't understand any of this. It was a fall, it wasn't an attack or a massive accident. I don't know why the big deal drama? She looks fine why the drama? I am sorry she got hurt, but really?

[@tonimj6037]

T Leigh 100% YES !

[@dianedavis208]

I agree.

[@jaynekarinova256]

That’s what I’m saying. People who interview her, and then her famous peers in the audience were looking at her all starry-eyed as if she was coming back from some sort of massively tragic near-death experience. I truly am sorry for her accident, I wouldn’t wish that sort of thing on anyone and I’m not trying to make light of it, I guess I’m just a little confused is all.

[@maddieg.2921]

Just because her maladies are less serious than others, they are still 100% valid.

[@Ashley92090]

She got a lot of plastic surgery to look “fine”

[@raquelcrochet_designs]

I think that what people don’t understand is that she is an entertainer. Her job is not only singing but looking good. So I can totally imagine her freaking out about how that would affect her career or even her singing, the injury was in the mouth. Even the headlines comparing the before and after. I think there’s something terrifying about you not looking or being the same person you used to be. And that’s what she felt

[@autumnrose1998]

Raquel Caicedo I think she did get plastic surgery but who cares. If I have even a fraction of her money when I'm her age I will too. But true. A lot or people forget that looks (sadly) are at least 50% of the job

[@nancybrooks2590]

What about our poor veterans that come home disfigured. Honestly, enough already about your face not looking the same. I had 35 stitches in my face from melanoma and I’m just grateful to be alive.

[@AbbyCavapoo24]

My eye was smashed to pieces by a gang and I'm blind in it and it's ruined my entire face.I think Carrie would really be crying if that happened to her.

[@bri3975]

Lets get a fact straight... Carrie did NOT blow this so out of proportion. That would be magazines and rumor starters who are looking to cause drama. Carrie had nothing to do with the nasty people drawing attention to her accident just to cause drama. I feel sorry for the people saying she did it for attention. It's like people WANTED her to have more horrific scars. Props to her for dealing with this with such grace and not letting mean people bring her down.

[@mcfarrell8816]

Exactly. I can’t say for sure, but it seems like she brought it up herself maybe twice on social media. Then it gets reported by 5 million publications and video outlets and suddenly she’s accused of milking her injury....and if she had 40 stitches around her mouth and nose, it must have been pretty darn ugly. She’s right, no way could she know at first how it would ultimately heal. And she pointed out that she’s got a team of make-up artists who can cover it up...”paint and spackle”, I think she said.

[@zenta-g6m]

I hope I’m totally wrong, but why do I feel like it’s more to this “ freak accident fall”?

[@pinkywave2995]

Ne'Cole I agree. Even if she fell on her face. 40 stitches? Did she fall on glass? No broken face bones? The only difference I can see is her top lip is a little off. Anything else makeup would probably hide.

[@jacquelinepayne4737]

pinky wave
Like Jimmy Fallon's freak accident when he tripped over the rug and his wedding ring was caught on the counter somehow. Jimmy came out in a waud of bandages. You could see that he almost lost the finger. Carrie is "to" worried about how pretty she looked afterwards. Because she's Carrie Underwood the hospital was going to roll out the best of the best surgeons. She blew a chance to appear approachable to the fans. Tina Fey has a scar for days. Doesn't dwell on it. I don't think that the "real" story will ever be told. 🤔

[@zenta-g6m]

Roman Family 5 Exactly, if you notice in the interview when she’s talking about what happened, her body language tells a lot. She tends to always look down, and away from Hoda.I could be wrong, but from the moment this story broke about her fall, I felt like it was something more to it.

[@zenta-g6m]

Jacqueline Payne I agree, the real story will never be told. I’m glad she’s ok though.

[@amyashley3182]

I really hope it wasn’t her husband 😔

[@Kay2be2mr]

This was not an interview. They title it "opens up" yet gives no details on what actually happened, where specifically she got hurt, what got torn or cut etc. This was more like a promotional video.

[@mycleancoach5233]

no details on the fall. its like people are afraid to ask her what specifically was messed up? what plastic surgery was required. where was your face torn? they kept inserting her performances....was it an interview or a commercial? people are too awestruck with her. and interviewers are no longer interviewers, they are fan girls. sorry hoda

[@cheristina]

singlemom strength around her mouth 😉 they literally said it and you can see it on her upperlip

[@kleonard41022]

Totally agree. What the heck happened? I am assuming she cut her lip and knocked her teeth out is what I’m thinking. So she probably has fake teeth now in the front. I was wondering the same thing why don’t they just ask her what exactly happened?

[@meganfrey1663]

Karen Leonard i agree. I thought she was going in to detail. But then it was all about her singing and clothing line😆😆

[@cheristina]

Karen Leonard I don't get what y'all don't understand. She fell on her face and she couldn't block the fall with her hand because she was holding her dog on a leash.

[@daisy00173]

I thought same thing

[@Littlething41]

I'm not a Country Music fan at all but I have loved Carrie and her music since American Idol. Her cover of the Heart song Alone blew me away!

[@earlthomas5021]

I really don't like to accuse people of lying but her body language tells me everything. At 1:08 when she blinks her eyes when she starts talking about the fall people do that when they are not telling the truth or not sure what they are talking about.

[@brandimccarty2588]

earlthomas true. And they say if you shake your head back and forth like ur saying no while ur talking it is a lie. I feel like her husband did it

[@taralouisepatenaude7685]

LOL or maybe talking about it brings back unpleasant memories and that causes stress. Stress does cause and can result in these "cues" referring to.

[@bookgirl8]

Brandi Mccarty Her husband has nothing to do with this,so leave him out of it!!He wasn’t even home when the accident happened!!Not every husband is an abuser!!Do you realize how stupid you sound?

[@m_christine8777]

Theresa Daniels how do u know her husband wasn't home?...is it because Carrie said he wasn't home?well; that doesn't tell us anything.

[@aricahowley9323]

Her songs are so beautiful,sweet,and meaningful and a true singer sings from her heart and no matter how hard life knocks you down you can pick yourself right back up again and she is a prime example for all of us CARRIE UNDERWOOD keep singing and smiling God is always on your side 🙂🌸🌺🌹

[@voteyourconscience5080]

There are people that are going through terrible things in their life, cancer, other life threatening conditions. She is a drama queen and so full of herself. I remember seeing her during her American idol audition and she was this humble down to earth person. She is so full of herself and not at all down to earth like Kelley Clarkson is. I can't stand this broad.

[@annchovey2089]

If it happens to you, it is always feels bigger. You weren't there so you don't know how bad it initially was.

[@Whitneypyant]

A fall could be pretty serious depending on the height. You could hit your head.

[@robertd7717]

Just because there are worse things that other people go through doesn’t make hers any less valid.

[@rubiwoo4330]

MUSTANG1967 thank you! 👏 exactly

[@SM-cs4bn]

me neither..its all just botched surgery or botox.

[@analeisel8074]

Shes beautiful!!! Inside and OUt and I'm so glad she got an outpouring of love and support! She so deserves it!

[@munaeca73]

My husband had a freak accident in the bathroom. I heard him scream BABE !! And when he came out his face was full of blood I was crying rushed him to the hospital. He simply felt dizzy while using the bathroom (no. 1) ended up on the tub and opened up his forehead 10 stiches. Still have the scar. It happens and I believe it is due to daily stress life and body is asking us to slow down .

[@1mondavia2]

People are so quick to judge and condem her.
She definitely looks different around her mouth especially on left side and anyone who knows her know she had to have surgery to put her lip and face right. Excuse the fact she was not burned or had to have brain surgery. Give her a break. She obviously has suffered a grave injury and that is traumatic regardless of severity. She is a compassionate, shy person in real life and all the crazy stories regarding her accident did not come from her, but the over zealous media speculation. They kept feeding it and creating a negative monster. Sorry for those who feel that breaking a wrist and smashing your face into concrete is not serious enough. To her it was serious enough.

[@vickyham2013]

Lillian Eversole a grave Injury? Lmfao!! Not hardly!

[@tigerlily0190]

I don't think you know what "grave injury" means.

[@SM-cs4bn]

lets see the pictures with stitches...its all liesssss...it was botx that went bad

[@drewbartlett460]

While I see your viewpoint, I do think that she should be more open about those things. There’s also that she did say that she needed forty-stitches in her face, and she didn’t tear up. I think that that really is all there is to it! Our family had all sorts of freak accidents! Sometimes, these things just happen, and while they have full rights to say that they don’t want to talk about it, they shouldn’t be to worried about sharing it. What I’m kinda curious about is what inspired Cry Pretty? It seems like she was singing about something very personal, but I would think that if it was about someone she knew at the Vegas shooting, she would’ve released this a LONG time before Champion!

[@Pnwgurl]

I think she probably had some plastic surgery and doesn’t want to say she did because she’s so young. I’m glad she’s OK I can’t really tell because I don’t see any scars but then this day and age make up is magic so who knows and really who cares

[@smitty2000]

Everyone! Please.....try to show more compassion and empathy ❤
As a healthcare professional I can see exactly where the stitches are.....she had a lot of reconstructive surgery to get the area looking as good as it is.
Think if a person with a cleft lip .....there would be an entire section leading right into the nostril. Teeth affected I can tell as well.
Please be KIND in your words......they can scar a person's heart❤ I speak from experience. GOD BLESS

[@Christycat35]

SMITTY-Thank you! Well said!

[@heatherbryant2136]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@sundasrashid6026]

As an actual healthcare professional I see this as an insult to million other people who can't afford plastic surgeries and have to live with turmoil.

[@LizzayMartini]

Honestly, it seems like everyone else is making it a huge deal. Yeah, she addressed it first, but like she says in the video - within the first couple of months after trauma your scarring can change so much. As an example, I was mauled in the face by a dog 7 years ago. My entire left lower eyelid was split open, the inside of my upper lip on the right side was detached from my gums, scarring on the side of my nose, etc... and it looked BAD. I think I had a total of 32 stitches, between my eye and inside my mouth. And for close to four months after that it looked awful, and regardless of there being people who have it worse in life, it is emotionally traumatizing to look in the mirror and not see “you”. It may seem vain, but until you’ve seen yourself look like Frankenstein and seen the reactions of people close to you, it’s hard to understand how that can shake you, and you have no idea if you’ll be stuck that way or go back to normal. Nobody even believes the attack ever happened now because ER doctors refused to touch my face until a plastic surgeon could come - and I’m a nobody! Imagine a medical team having her on the table, OF COURSE they would fly in the best of the best plastic surgeons fix her face. Sure people have it worse, but I think facial trauma in particular is a hard one to grapple with for a lot of people... all she said, only 3 months after the fact, was that she might look a little different. If she hadn’t addressed it and the scarring remained bad, the marital abuse rumors would be flying more wildly than they already are, at least she was able to get ahead of all that. I don’t know, having been through a similar situation with my own face, I get it and believe her.

[@CraftyGal]

LizzayMartini same here. I took a bad fall 8 yrs ago....landed on my face. I ended up with a chipped front tooth and a gaping mouth wound. I also injured my right knee. My husband took me to the ER where the patched me up. Went to the dentist the following week where my tooth was repaired. This all happened on my day off. I ent to work the next day and was sent home saying I looked to scary to be working with people. I still have a scar there but it looks like a pronounce wrinkle now. I never had plastic surgery and I can cover it up with makeup if need be. So I relate here.

[@CraftyGal]

I totally relate to Carrie here.... LizzayMartini same here. I took a bad fall 8 yrs ago....landed on my face. I ended up with a chipped front tooth and a gaping mouth wound. I also injured my right knee. My husband took me to the ER where the patched me up. Went to the dentist the following week where my tooth was repaired. This all happened on my day off. I ent to work the next day and was sent home saying I looked to scary to be working with people. I still have a scar there but it looks like a pronounce wrinkle now. I never had plastic surgery and I can cover it up with makeup if need be.
I was actually asked if my husband had hit me....nope! Me just being clumsy. Over he weeks, with the injury being fresh, I was asked about domestic abuse. I’m sure Carrie would’ve gone through the same thing. Give her a break!

[@classicliberal6666]

Best of luck i hope she does well and wish her the best good luck

[@DeidraDianeWallace]

I am gonna comment on this even though I probably shouldn't. I have been quiet for long enough.
Until you are actually in the spotlight and fall or have a wreck or something, you won't truly understand the damage and negativity that is on you. Carrie fell taking out her dogs. Mike was out of town and she said her son was upstairs already asleep. Her dogs needed to go to the bathroom, so she took them outside and tripped on a stair. She didn't let go of the leashes (because Lord knows she would have PETA on her if she did because y'all are dramatic and immature) so she took the fall instead. She tripped...on a stair...outside. That's the story.
I think when and if she is ready she will let us all know what she had done. We are sure it was something but it's best to just not assume because we all know what that means when we do that.
This is the type of video that should have comments disabled, in my opinion. Love her or hate her... no need to comment mean and hurtful things.
Walk a mile in her shoes and then come back and chat with the hate. She is just letting the fan club know that if she looks different, don't be alarmed.
God bless.

[@lindsaysimplyliving803]

She doesn't look normal. You can absolutely see the scarring, which makes it even more apparent that this was not just some vain diva seeking attention. There are scars under her bottom lip and also under her left nostril. Alot of makeup goes into making her look "normal", as did the lip injections for reconstructive surgery. She didn't just get "lip fillers". She was badly hurt and needed plastic surgery. Poor thing. When your face is your money maker, of course you would be terrified of what people will think. Good for you for putting yourself back out there, Care.

[@spicybrown75]

lindsaysimplyliving she looks to have a scar like Joaquin Phoenix to me.

[@LuvLykeHunii]

I still don’t see the scars. Even as I reread your comment. Great plastic surgeons and makeup artists for sure.

[@Christycat35]

Lindsaysimplyliving-I will agree with you about everything up to the point that you said “when your face is your money maker”. While she is pretty, and it does help her brand, Carrie Underwood’s phenomenal voice is her money maker.

[@annchovey2089]

Christycat35 She is a spokesperson for Almay and part of Carrie's presence on stage is her appearance. In the entertainment industry you are expected to be attractive. Name one country female singer out there right now that is not attractive. Don't limit it to country, look at the majority of women in the music industry. She got attention because of her voice but her appearance has opened up other opportunities for her.

[@Christycat35]

Ann Chovey-I agree that female stars are, by and large, expected to be pretty and look a certain way. I just happen to disagree that her face is her money maker. I contend that her voice is the money maker-her looks just enhance the money making. 😊

[@maverick6442]

When Carrie first moved to Nashville, I read she wanted to live in a regular neighborhood, not a gated mansion, I think she's genuine, I wish her well,God bless.❤

[@azeermajeed7576]

She had a face lift. The end.

[@jenntread6617]

Unfortunately people will always be hypocritical and judgemental. All you claiming to know exactly what happened to Carrie are stupid. you weren't there and you obviously aren't compassionate people either. Just leave her alone. Only hope nothing like that happens to you.

[@micahgotthatgame271]

I’m gonna sound horrible but I think she made it a big deal to promote her new music. Also she doesn’t talk details about her fall, I kinda get a vibe her husband had something to do with it.

[@annchovey2089]

He wasn't in town. The fact that she wrote a song about her accident is just like God. He took a bad situation and brought something good out of it. A lot of people relate to this song.

[@bookgirl8]

Jamie Boyles He wasn’t in town when she fell,because not every husband is abusive!!She took something bad & made it into a story that basically everyone can relate to & something amazing came out of it.They tell you to write what you know&she used her accident in hopes that something good would come out of it & it did.What is wrong with using your own life story to write songs?People have been doing that for years & that’s why people connected so much to her song,because when it all comes down to it,none of us ever “Cry Pretty”
When things go to crap in our lives.As long as we are living on this earth,we will never have it together as much as we’d like to think we do.That’s why the song has struck such a chord with people.If you can’t make something good come out of a tragedy,then you have deeper issues that need to be settled in your own life.

[@amberrenee1605]

Jamie Boyles So you think she broke her wrist for fun! It almost sounds like you want her to be abused!

[@suzannecampbell2260]

I’ve read a lot of mean spirited remarks. She makes her living with her voice and looks. Everyone saying oh she got plastic surgery. Her fall was fake. This is mean and cruel. Everyone takes things in there own way. So I can understand how she feels. I was I injured in my face. I felt like I would be a freak. She is beautiful. So let her heal I. Her own time and her own way. Lots of love sent out to you. Carrie..😘😘😘.

[@sowusuchrisbrown]

she looks exactlyy the same, she made it look like she wouldn't be recognizable. Im literally looking at her and im like "maybe its her nose, maybe her lips" but nah she looks the same

[@amberrenee1605]

First Name Here all she actually said was she MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT! That’s it! She has a clear scar on her upper lip and chin! Move on

[@ericburns4008]

Well I'd say scars sometimes define who we are like chiped tooth or from a dumb but or like a ring stained finger

[@ericburns4008]

Its almost missletoe season there where even another female or guy sometimes gets to steal a free 💋

[@ericburns4008]

Are you sure it's not sock fussy season too

[@noone-yh4sl]

Even if she did look different she could pull it off she's beautiful

[@dasowle89]

Ive been a victim of domestic abuse. I feel like there is more to this story. Usually when someone had a legit accident they dont hide. Women try and hide when its abuse related. I pray it really was just a freak accident.

[@bookgirl8]

KoKoDaVelle Her husband wasn’t even home at the time& if you really knew ANYTHING about Carrie’s marriage,he literally treats her like a queen & if it was a choice,he would worship the ground she walks on.She hid because like the rest of us,she has every right to heal in private.The fact you STILL can’t be satisfied with the explanation she gave & are trying to pin abuse on a guy that most people say wouldn’t hurt a fly,shows that you really have no idea of the kind of marriage that Mike Fisher has with Carrie.Not every guy or husband is abusive just because you were a victim of domestic abuse!!She said it was a freak accident,why can’t you just leave it at that?Not everything is some huge conspiracy theory!!

[@Julie86Mac]

You have no idea how her husband treats her beyond what they show or he or she says. People used to think my family was the perfect family, but no one knew our family secret. No one knew that my father was beating my mother and emotionally and psychologically abusing all of us. No one knew, so please don't act like you know, because you don't. They show the world what they want them to see, but family secrets are always buried down deep. I am not saying her husband is abusing her, but I also know that it's always a possibility.

[@taralouisepatenaude7685]

oy vey. Nope- youre wrong. She fell. Her career is partially successful because of her face. She injured what she sees in the mirror every day. She was also worried how her son was going to react to her injury. Shes shy so Im thinking shes probably pretty self conscious, especially knowing people would enjoy snapping pics of her out and about. Im so clumsy that Im having another surgery on my elbow that is going to leave a 6" scar. I have a large scar on my wrist, a few on my face, in my foot from having stitches. None are the result of me being assaulted but because Im a clutz and its EMBARRASSING that I injured my elbow originally wacking it off my frig. I injured my wrist when I was a teen. I hate that Im so clumsy and shy away from talking about how I injure myself on a fairly regular basis.

[@casperilluminated7909]

KoKoDaVelle that was my thoughts as well.. 40 something stitches from a fall is kinda hard to believe

[@TheCollectorsSin]

She's literally just a drama queen. I don't think she was harmed by another

[@lizzystitch4842]

Thank you, Hoda, for this interview with Carrie Underwood. She IS the real deal...sweet, strong, faith-filled, hard-working. She can "cry pretty" any time she wants to. She's been through alot with this accident, and I'm thankful she's had expert doctors to operate on her wrist and face. She's the best....right next to YOU! Happy Mother's Day, Hoda! Kind regards!

[@skr8674]

Lizzystitch484 sorry, you’re wrong....not the real deal. I worked where she lives...had very unpleasant Encounters with her. It’s all about how you treat the little people when the cameras aren’t on you.

[@lizzystitch4842]

I agree with you that how a person treats people is truly important. However, you are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine. I must admit that I am put off by your absolute, empiracle statement, scolding me that "you're wrong." That declaration is no way to diplomatically get along with others. If you treat ME this way, how were YOU treating OTHERS when you worked where she lives? HOW do YOU treat people on a daily basis? It's ok to stop and think about it....a little self-evaluation is a good thing. Watch out for those imperative statements like you used towards me, because they are nasty and can get you into trouble. Suggested reading: "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense" by the late, well-respected Suzette Elgin. It COULD be a nice addition to your personal library. I wish you well.

[@bookgirl8]

S Tomlinson Have you really worked where she lives or are you just creating rumors because you’re jealous of her fame & fortune?she isn’t unpleasant but your comment certainly is!!She always treats people with dignity & respect & I just can’t see her ever treating anyone that badly.Unless you’ve truly been in daily contact with her,then you really have no idea of how she treats people.It is possible she was having a bad day & just didn’t want to be bothered.Ever think about the before making such a blanket statement?

[@krissy012p]

I was thinking this interview would actually reveal some information about what happened, or the extent of the damage (broken bones, lost teeth?) - but it really didn't, so the title is misleading. I don't care that much, but feels like there's more to this story that she doesn't want to share.

[@bookgirl8]

Kristin Peterson Why do you even feel you’re entitled to that?She said what really happened when she fell,if there’s anymore she wants to reveal,she will do it on her own timetable,not yours or anyone else’s.

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

I feel the same way. I want to see and x-ray of her FACE and not just the broken wrist.

[@bookgirl8]

Lisa T If you look back on her Instagram she posted a picture of her wrist and the metal she had to put in there to help it heal and it looked like a pretty nasty injury and that metal will probably be there for the rest of her life.she is never going to show anyone her face because she is under no obligation to show anyone what happened on her face.

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

Theresa Daniels : "She is never going to show anyone pics of her face". Do you know that for sure? Maybe 30, 40 years later.. When she's older and no one really cares about her anymore.. Maybe then? I mean, how, really do you know.. Never say never.

[@williefoxx2718]

She looks great. People have gotten in all type's of accidents. Wether this one being personal to her or all her fans. I realize that the cosmetic work was done well and even though she may have felt a little insecure about her fall, the scars is what can destroy a person. But it's healing quite nicely. So she has NO reason to be afraid. #Teamcarrie

[@iwnunn7999]

Enjoyed this interview. What a beautiful girl!!

[@note2owns]

I tripped over a solid steel dog leash and fell down 6 steps, head first onto a driveway landing on my forehead with a majority of my weight on my neck and upper body. I was dazed for 15 minutes or so. I am so lucky I wasn't paralyzed from the neck down considering the way I fell. I had deep abrasions across my forehead and a slightly sprained wrist. I totally get how it can happen.

[@DreamweavrHairDesign]

When my 4yr old son was in hospital during treatments for cancer they told me his room was meant to be a safe happy place so no crying from me or anyone else. I took long showers every day and cried the whole time. Then the positive mom could take over for another 24 hours. I think it’s good to have a crying place.

[@mymanson77]

I find all this attention she is seeking from a relevantly simple accident to be very disrespectful towards thousands of people all around the world who do have truly life changing injuries to their face and their whole body; life long disabilities, chronic pain, loss of limbs, loss of ability to lead a normal life, loss of income, no access to proper health care. If she is traumatized, then she should raise awareness for all these people, not herself.

[@christar9527]

I know this is old but you’ve said it so well. There are so many people, including myself, that have had serious facial injuries and are damaged in many ways for life. I live in pain from 2 eye and face injuries and haven’t looked like myself at all for most of my life because of a bad doctor then a gang who assaulted me. I’m blind. I can’t work. She could be giving some money to help those people who really need help instead of wallowing in her vanity. She sickens me.🙄

[@sundasrashid6026]

Wowow so inspiring thanks for showing us ur injured face it gives us so much strength!!! I have lost all respect for her, its an insult to the actual victims and even girls with acne / girls struggling with skin conditions on a daily basis. I hope they see the backlash over this.

[@thegameoflife00]

She was afraid her son was going to see her as a monster. She's human, she's insure. It's okay. It's the media that won't stop talking about this.

[@thegameoflife00]

Ashley
Oh I agree but she talked about it with Bobby Bones. She said what happened but they won't leave her alone about it.

[@Andy224]

Looking at some comments, It saddens me to see the lack of sympathy towards somebody who’s been injured. No accident should be judged.

[@minnauyeda7339]

The area around the chin and lip easily splits open. My daughter had a simple fall off her bike, and her chin hit the ground, and it just split needing 8 stitches. Same happened to my husband when he was a kid. I have a split on my upper lip from a dog bite. It’s fleshy and it happens. The conspiracy that she needed plastic surgery time to heal is ridiculous. She has plates and screws in her wrist! Let up and live your life!

[@YinzerTracy]

She had a busted lip. I thought it was just a face lift or something, but she DID show x-rays of her injured wrist, so she DID have some sort of accident. I'm sorry that happened to her, but why all the drama about it? Saying she thought she'd scare her son, getting a standing ovation upon her return, etc. What amazes me are people who say, "Give her privacy." Uh ... SHE is the one who announced it. SHE is the one who had PR and media people doing this "big reveal" thing for months.
And she HAS had cosmetic procedures. Her face is as tight as a drum and not even a trace of a forehead line. She used to have nasolabial lines between her nose and mouth. They're gone. Her mother looks amazing, but you can see she's at least had some eye and jaw work done, too.

[@simonplayon]

Carrie is so amazing!! #BuyCryPretty

[@TrussttN01]

Enough is enough. She fell, got hurt, looks fine now. I’m tired of seeing stories about this tragic accident every time I look at the news.

[@susandavies2738]

If you watch her talk, you can notice that her top lip isn’t the same. But seriously I don’t see how anyone can dismiss any injury wether big or small

[@JW424]

She is so high maintenance and into her looks which is why she freaked out.

[@nickylnr]

JW424 I get the same feeling too.. She keeps saying it was nit pretty. I am sure there are other words she can use to describe the whole thing but it's coming off as conceited. She makes money of her voice mostly not her face. If she was never to show her face and just sing she would still be able to make lots of money.

[@JW424]

Take a pill Theresa.

[@JW424]

I live a couple miles from her in Brentwood and see her at the grocery store. She is always in full makeup and hair. Other celebrities don't do that. She doesn't have to worry about fans at this grocery store.

[@nickylnr]

Theresa Daniels you're dumb to think I would be jealous of this woman. She fell. We understand it was an accident. She sounds hella high maintenance. It could've been worst. How thankful is she that it is not? Stfu bet you wish you were her living her life. Talking about troll and jealous. Girl bye

[@MC-ig3ci]

JW424 -- Maybe Carrie is just a girlie girl who enjoys doing makeup and hair and she has the money for it. Why can't she do what she wants to do without being judged for it? Who cares if she's "high maintenance"? What she does doesn't affect your life at all. Maybe she does full makeup and hair because she knows she'll be seen and photographed if she's out and about and she doesn't feel like having bad tabloid pics; that's understandable. Or: We all have insecurities, maybe she is insecure about how she looks and the makeup and hair make her feel better about herself? Or, like I said at the start, maybe it's just something she enjoys doing like some people enjoy baths or a massage? We're all different, some people aren't into makeup and beauty products and would like to spend their time on other things and some people do like those things. It doesn't make Carrie a bad person.

[@Kristine_202]

I'm sorry, but I think she milked this for publicity. I have examined her face over and over and I can't even find the scar. Apparently, it's between her lip and nose. I don't see it. I was bit by a dog when I was young and I have scars on my face from that. My current dog, when she was puppy, actually took a little chunk out of the tip of my nose while we were playing. I'm self-conscious about my scars, but other people have told me that they can't even see them. I have to point them out.
I feel like it would have been a lot braver of her to show her face sooner. She has fans who have things that they are self conscious about. Think about people who have serious facial deformities. Her behavior is teaching them that you should hide away and be ashamed of your flaws. But it's OK to make a big comeback right before your album drops and then everyone will say how strong you are. Hmm....Interesting timing.

[@terrihelgerson163]

Like she needed to milk anything for publicity. You have got to be kidding me. If you're face and appearance were as critical to your financial and personal success as they are to Carrie, this type of "freak" accident could virtually end it for you. Plus if you've ever had an accident like this it makes you feel suddenly vulnerable. For someone with such a rock solid attitude and commitment to her health, her career and her family - it could be a devastating blow to know that you could lose it all in a minute. True for all of us but maybe that wasn't anything she had ever felt before.

[@lisafields9450]

I swear Carrie Underwood is stunningly beautiful! shes a power house I just freaking love her and her music! Carrie you girl are a true woman! a very strong and amazing one at that!

[@jmewhatzername210]

Ridiculous, all the stuff about how “we may not recognize her now” nonsense. She looks exactly the same. I agree with the Drama Queen comment. 🙄

[@DeeDee56789]

The one thing I notice is her lips look huge compared to what they were.

[@wandaburgess9400]

I do believe it says in the *DESCRIPTION* that she had to get 40 stitches in her mouth.. I also believe they mentioned a *BROKEN WRIST* Would you like her to tell us how long she was on the ground bleeding, before the ambulance got to her.. Some of the posts below goes to show people didn't pay attention to the whole story or *READ* the description, but find it fit to complain!!

[@lizzystitch4842]

Hey, everyone on here....let's show some respect for one another and stop the polarizing criticisms of her and of one another. Alot of people are going through challenging things in their lives: injuries, paralyzations, cancer, chronic illness and pain, mental problems, chemical imbalances, drug and alcohol addictions, marital problems, you name it. Let's take a deep breath and think about how we ourselves would like to be treated: with respect. We are not required to agree with someone or to sympathize for them, but it is a good thing to show respect, to be patient, and to show kindness. Kindness....it's a good thing. Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! Kind regards to all of you.

[@tommidakota37]

How long is she gonna talk about this, they are people who have much more serious injuries. she is being petty, enough. No one would even know if she didn't talk about it. Is something else going on here? Cause this ain't it.

[@neophantomyt1435]

Seriously, a lot of people look away when there telling a phony story. When she was explaining it to Hoda she kept looking down and to the side not keeping eye contact. Lol. Ok when I lie that’s what I do. And start laughing. What a dramatic story about something so little. She probably just wanted some extra publicity.

[@amandaantista5012]

As a healthcare worker. She does have alittle change in her lip. If u really were a fan of carrie u can see the difference in her smile and the way she is talking.

[@JazSimone]

I just really hope that if it was in fact something bigger she can open up and help other people going through the same thing. It’s never too late Carrie. But I do of course hope that for her sake it was what she says it was.

[@leeohmoon231]

some have these accidents and have no money for plastic surgery and no one cares about them, I like Carrie but this...makes me a bit angry...

[@Lisac4441]

I realize that she took a bad fall, I also feel bad that she did, but enough already!! There are so many people that have real disfigurements on their face and do not have any money to fix their disfigurement!! Please stop being so vain some people are actually born this way !!get over yourself

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

It would have been very inspirational to have shown her face. To show that your looks aren't the most important thing in the world. Not feeling confident because of your looks alone seems shallow.

[@Sergiogacopuma]

I love Carrie since the old days when she used to date a young Cowboy's player. 💙 Her voice and charisma are stunning👌😎👌

[@kyahvaughn]

Look back at old video of her...She's clearly had work done...her mouth is "plumper" and her face shape looks different. I think it's a cover up for plastic surgery.

[@jaytaylor3273]

Where is the scar? there are burn victims and so much more who deal with real scars and a battle to over come feeling shamed. I don't see anything on her face; this shouldn't be a story.

[@simonplayon]

What people want of her?? she said she fall over her face, the stitches are around her mouth, she have reconstructive surgery, thats all!! She said she may look a BIT different because at the beginning it looked pretty bad and the doctors tell her that they didn't know how she was going to look after the healing. Why people need to see her disfigured, covered in blood to believe her? It is not a big deal for you because it didn't happen to you, you didn't have to see your face all messed up with your lips distroyed and your wrist broken, she was alone, her son was sleeping, she had to do all by herself

[@joannastevens6299]

You people are so judgemental. Carrie has to talk about this because the media has hounded her to start with. She can either tell her side or let the media tell lies. She is such a role model with an awesome voice. She has real talent and to me is genuine!

[@asiamadrid6516]

Well thank God she has money right! What about all of those other people who have fallen and they can't afford to have plastic surgery.

[@a.k.7341]

Asia Madrid creams and a good Dr. Can help. Not always plastic surgery

[@xAngelxStarx]

How is it her fault that others can't afford it?

[@Brenda0312F]

Asia Madrid what is your point? That she should not have sympathy because she has money! She should not be shown compassion because she is rich? Because YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE if that is your point. Do you know how rich YOU ARE compared to 2/3 of this world? You are just as blessed as she is to those who are watching their children starve in Haiti...for example....So...again.....what is your point?

[@nadianikolova5374]

Asia Madrid Exactly.

[@carlyn1617]

She should set the example for young girls to not be ashamed of their looks. She could've used this to inspire those that are also suffering but she didnt-- she hid her injuries and scars from the world. Oh well. Let's move on from this.

[@BB-nb9ls]

Carlyn Snoddy couldn’t agree more.

[@bookgirl8]

Carlyn Snoddy No,she isn’t setting any bad example of how girls shouldn’t be ashamed of their looks because our society does a pretty good job of making girls feel bad if they aren’t perfect,so don’t blame Carrie for this because she is the innocent party in all of this.She hid her injuries because of uninformed and rude statements like yours and she is allowed to heal in private just like we would if the same had happened to us that happened to her.Nice try,but she doesn’t need your help on telling her how to live or run her life,but nice try though!!

[@amused7772]

Bill Stoger or the real carrie started to go against the elites and this is her replacement??

[@tonimj6037]

She really played up how different she would look . SHE played it up . Fans worried . Then when we saw her and I watched this interview, makeup or not - she looks fine . Not different at all . If she wants to get past it , take the makeup off . It may be therapeutic for her . I’m annoyed at myself for getting caught up in her drama .. She would let out these photos of her face covered or only her eyes would be shown . I’m so grateful she is fine . I’m angry about the hype . Emotionally I allowed her to take me to a sad place I didn’t need to go . My face should look so bad . 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@bookgirl8]

toni MJ Why don’t you just shut up already?She didn’t play it up,the media did,so stop blaming her for something she has no control over!!nobody said you had to pay attention to the hype!!But you still fell for it,hook,line & sinker didn’t you?Are you really that stupid & gullible that you can’t think for yourself?

[@Julie86Mac]

Wow, you have a very nasty attitude! Idk why you felt the need to be so hateful. You can disagree her without compromising your character.

[@tonimj6037]

J Mac You really have no idea what my character is nor my life from this short statement. Regardless if you think you do👍🏽

[@drewbartlett460]

*quote from Megamind (a genius movie!)* “GIRLS girls... your both pretty, can I go home now?” Carrie did create the hype. She said that she looked quite different. It can seem bigger to you if it happened to you. She’s just self conscious about how she looks. I think that she should try less makeup. The scars she has tell a story. Of course, with the way that people jump to conclusions, people would say “Carrie is making SUCH a big deal out of this LITTLE THING by flaunting her scars”. She just told people what happened, and it felt worse to her than it really was.

[@Julie86Mac]

I know what you've displayed, so maybe you should think about what you're putting out there.

[@francesshelton6331]

I just feel something doesn't add up. I don't know why that is!!!

I love you period Kerry

[@luvellieee]

if she did get lip fillers why doesn’t she just say the truth, so many people do it nowadays. just quit lying about it and tell the truth. she said she had lots of stitches in another interview but she has zero scars. kinda fishy.

[@amberrenee1605]

anna g smith Her injuries was around her lip and chin area in other pictures you can see a clear scar! She also broke her wrist too! When you had an injury on your lips they put in lip fillers to help even out the scarring and cover up the injury! I know because they had to do it with me!

[@luvellieee]

Amber Howard oh okay i didn’t know what all happened so thank you !!

[@amberrenee1605]

anna g smith if you didn’t know everything that happened then why bother coming on here to call her a “liar”!

[@edieking5767]

I understand Carrie, my dog tripped me and the same thing happened to me.

[@edieking5767]

Memememe fine now after 3 wrist surgeries and 20 stitches but in my forehead.

[@cheriemertes3680]

It can happen at anytime to anyone. I tripped on my front porch steps and my right foot got caught in the divit between the cement and the grass and my whole foot turned upside down with all my weight on it. Needless to say I screamed and learned I had broke my ankle. All in a split second.

[@edieking5767]

[@glendale6]

I've had facial scars. This is totally amazing. Then again, she can affOord the worlds best.

[@mingbroadway]

She has been and is overreacting about the seriousness of her injury. She has been making it a real drama for six months. Try googling humboldt bus tragedy. That happened in Saskatchewan in April 2018. 16 people died. And a few are recovering with paralysation from the neck down. These injuries are reality and not something you can cover up with makeup. Then again this is 2018 and the generation is obsessed with selfies and their physical appearance. If she let it be and then was questioned about it. She could just say. Yeah I accidentally fell on my face and split my lip and had some stitches.

[@lbdan80]

mingbroadway She's not over-reacting, the media is.

[@121pink]

I hear where you're coming from, and I actually live in Saskatchewan so I can contest about the severity and heartbreak that the humbolt crash resulted in. It is still fresh and difficult to grasp. But I don't like seeing it when people use the hardships of others to diminish the pain and suffering felt by others. Sure, Carrie's accident doesn't compare to the humbolt crash, but she still suffered, and that cannot be ignored. I don't mean for this to sound preachy, but a couple years ago I noticed myself doing this too, and I would compare my minuscule struggles to these grand scale problems, thus not allowing myself to deal with them, which in the end benefits no one. I just hope that we all can acknowledge each other's pain, no matter how small or grand, support each other through it, and never hinder recovery.

[@robertd7717]

Just because there are worse injuries than hers doesn’t mean hers are any less valid.

[@bookgirl8]

mingbroadway She hasn’t been making a tragedy for 6 months,the media has!!How hard is that to get through your very apparent thick skull?she isn’t obsessed with her appearance but you seem to be very obsessed with her for some very disturbing reason!!Get lost troll!!Nobody cares about your opinion!!

[@Multiversetraveler93]

Fake news.

[@jluttjoh]

Im sure there was an accident, but she has had work done too.

[@YRS51]

jluttjoh she literally looks exactly the same.

[@bookgirl8]

jluttjoh A great plastic surgeon can literally make anything disappear & a great makeup artist can literally make those scars disappear.Don’t judge her unless you’ve been in her shoes.

[@jluttjoh]

Im not judging, it's simply a very easy observation....calm down.. A woman in her 30s with zero lines (not normal with facial expressions we all have) and plumper lips and cheeks than when she was on American Idol. I have worked in this area and had botox myself. Its very simple to see the subtle changes or moreso no change at all.

[@bookgirl8]

jluttjoh Just because you work in that area doesn’t mean every woman has to have that done.When she was on Idol,she was a bit heavier than she is now,that’s why her face looks different & she lives a pretty healthy lifestyle so if you’re living a clean & healthy lifestyle,you’re not really going to see a lot of wrinkles on her.the plumper lips are because that’s where she took the brunt of her injuries on her face & cut her lip open,so of course it’s not going to look completely normal.That lip is going to look that way until it’s completely healed.She just doesn’t strike me as a woman who would need to get anything done on her face even if she wanted to.

[@jluttjoh]

Heavier women have fuller faces. . When you can't make expressions like normal people can....it is due to botox, dear. They all do it. Im sorry to burst your bubble. Working out a lot does not preclude anyone from wrinkles, just ask Lance Armstrong. In fact, working out produces inflammation. She is a runner, and while you can slather on sunscreen, it only does so much and most damage is done when we are very young. I have been a runner my entire life. She follows a vegan diet. Also, high inflammatory if not done correctly, which is difficult to do.

[@kayAc92]

Yeah her reputation is definitely going to go down if people find out she is lying about getting something done to her face.Idk if she did but there's something strange about this for sure.

[@Ernie1978]

Hypocritical much? Women care about their looks and she is a singer. Nothing wrong with that. She is one of the best singers ever in all genres. As long as her music is good, I am there!

[@kimcremer9910]

I find it so strange Carrie doesn't go into specifics since she was so dramatic at posting IG about it in a cryptic way. Did she knock her teeth out and now has implants? Does she have a fake chin implant? What is it Carrie! @carrieunderwood

[@bookgirl8]

Kim C There was no chin implant & she was hiding her face because when she was wearing the scarf,she was in a town where it was severely cold so she had to have protection against those elements.She probably wasn’t ready to show her face just yet hence the scarf.She doesn’t owe you an explanation for anything so stop looking for one!!

Shes so humble!

[@KMason-zn3sc]

I admire her. I understand the fact that people misunderstand her (in the comments section.) I wish more people would realize that fame does not change the fact that a person is still a human being who has natural human feelings. As for the comment of "fan girls" interviewing...I'm not commenting in regard to that. However, if I were to ever speak to her, I would listen first and allow her to tell her story. Sometimes, not being awestruck by a person's profession is all that is needed in order for that person to be able to tell their story. Often, a barrage of questions aren't needed. I'm sure she is very guarded. Rightfully so. I wish her all the best. I hope her injuries have not had a lasting impact emotionally. Often, the deepest scars and pain are beneath the skin. I wish people would accept her at her word, rather than assuming anything other than the answers she has given. :)

[@AnimalLover-mr5kl]

Sweetie, you will get more than just one scar. It's called life. We all have them visible or not. Let this scar of yours strengthen you not destroy you. Stay strong.

[@HardRockMiner]

She "fell" into a plastic surgeon's chair and needed to hide the results with a story.

[@markdawson3356]

Oh, is that what it was!? 🙄🙄

[@pamelawing626]

There is not a mark on her. Even plastic surgery is not "scarless". I don't get it frankly.

[@FlashOblue]

I fell on my face once and had to get stitches in my upper lip and nose. But that wasn't the worst part. My whole face was black and blue and swollen. I looked like I'd been beaten when in reality I stepped off an 18-inch "step" and went flying onto the asphalt. Believe me, I didn't want anyone to see me for weeks and I'm just a regular person. I think if she had allowed photos of herself people would think she was trying to gain sympathy. It was a traumatic fall and she's obviously a sensitive person. Let her be!

[@StephanieStoven]

She is so beautiful inside and out!
