Carrie Underwood Honors Service Members With Christmas Performance
By Movieguide® Staff
Carrie Underwood is stunning listeners with her rendition of “Silent Night” for Circle Network’s upcoming Opry Live: USO Holiday Special.
The country singer is one of many stars who were chosen to celebrate America’s servicemen and veterans. Lauren Alaina, Luke Combs, Jessie James Decker, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner and The War & Treaty will all perform for the holiday special, with Kellie Pickler serving as host.
“We are grateful to have the iconic Grand Ole Opry host this special and the talented artists bring a bit of home to our service members and military families,” said Christopher Plamp of USO in a press release about the special event. “We hope this holiday special reminds each of us of the sacrifices made on our behalf every day by our brave men and women who serve our country.”
Along with the musical performances, the event will feature stories from veterans and the country stars themselves.
“I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’m a proud supporter for those who do. As a Global Ambassador for the USO, I hope to share the importance of serving those who serve us all,” Pickler said in a press release. “I’m excited for the opportunity Circle Network has provided, as their support within the country community is unparalleled.”
Underwood’s appearance at the holiday special is just another stellar Christmas performance from the singer. She released her My Gift album last year, a Christmas album with covers of classics like “O Holy Night,” “Away in a Manger,” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
Opry Live: USO Holiday Special will air on USO and Circle All Access’ social media platforms as well as on TV on December 18 at 9 p.m. ET.
