Carrie Underwood's young sons Isaiah and Jacob were in the audience at their mom's first "Denim & Rhinestines Tour" show when it kicked off Saturday (10/15) in South Carolina.

Carrie posted a video clip of her son Isaiah in the crowd sitting on dad's lap and waving to his mom while she sang in the air hanging from a swing. As she passes her son by, you can hear Isaiah yelling "Mommy." She captioned the Instagram post, "My sweet boys came to see their mommy's first show! Jakey caught a few songs, at least, before he drifted off to dream land…" She wrote over the clip, "One was blowing me kisses... one was sleeping soundly..."

Fans were thrilled with the shared video, with one commenting, "I just had tears watching sweet Iz. This is such a treasure! So glad it was such a great show!" Former The View co-host Elizabeth Hassellbeck wrote, "The BEST!!!!!!!!! Precious!!!!!" One more fan reacted to the sweet post, "Ohhhh I love when he spells it.... mom.... like can't you hear me."

The next day Underwood posted a bunch of photos from the stage of her second show in Indianapolis, including one of her playing drums and another of her sporting a Guns N' Roses leather jacket. She captioned the photo dump, "Another incredible crowd last night In Indianapolis! This show is so much fun! Can't wait to do it again tonight in Grand Rapids!!! @jeffjohnsonimages #DenimAndRhinestonesTour."

One fan reacted to that post, "You were so amazing. Had so much fun dancing and singing on the floor!" Another fan that was there wrote, "This was the most fun show I've ever been to!!"

With dates in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, the tour will make stops in 43 U.S. cities, including New York's Madison Square Garden, Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, before concluding in Seattle on March 17. Underwood is joined on tour by special guest Jimmie Allen on all dates.

Carrie Underwood turns the big 4-0 today (3/10) as she continues the 2023 leg of her "Denim & Rhinestones Tour." While she has a day off on her birthday, she is back on stage at a concert in Glendale, Arizona, tomorrow night (3/11).
