Carrie Underwood has been in rehearsals for her Cry Pretty Tour 360, which kicks off less than a month away on May 1.

Carrie shares, “It is super crazy that the Cry Pretty Tour 360 starts May 1st, because it’s right around the corner. Rehearsals have been going really great. My band is amazing as always, and I feel like every year and every album, they get better and better, and just everybody gets more comfortable with each other and people just have even more fun on stage."

She continues, "I feel like fans are really going to be able to feel the love and all the hard work that has gone into this tour. There’s so many people that have thought long and hard about how to make this show better than anything that we’ve ever done before. I think it’ll be easy to sit in the audience and recognize that.”

The Cry Pretty Tour 360, which also features Maddie & Tae and Runaway June, launches May 1 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The tour will head to Canada at the end of May and then head to Europe at the end of June.
