Carrie Underwood stuns in red dress while celebrating NFL Thanksgiving spirit

The voice of Sunday Night Football got fans talking

As the holiday season ramps up, Carrie Underwood is embracing the festivities with flair and plenty of style.

The country-pop superstar recently shared a jaw-dropping photo on social media, instantly capturing fans’ attention.

Dressed in a vibrant red outfit, she didn’t just channel holiday cheer. She also highlighted her famously toned legs, showing that she certainly doesn’t skip leg day.

Her Instagram post came with a playful caption: “Who’s pulling out their #StretchyPants tomorrow?” in reference to the tradition of perhaps having too much to eat on Thanksgiving. The #StretchyPants hashtag references one of Underwood‘s holiday-themed songs which blends humor and festive spirit.

Fans immediately flooded the comments with praise, laughing along with her sentiment and expressing excitement for their own holiday feasts. Many echoed the sentiment that they would be breaking out their stretchywaist wardrobe for the big meal.

Underwood didn’t just show off a festive look, as she showed her followers that she has what it takes to combine music and style. The red dress in the post drew comparisons to the outfit she wore during a televised holiday performance.

In that appearance, she sang surrounded by whimsical dancing elves, performing with full holiday energy. It was the perfect backdrop for a playful, feel-good track that had fans tapping along and sharing the video across social media.

A holiday look that turns heads

This latest post isn’t the first time Underwood‘s fashion has drawn attention, as in recent years, she’s repeatedly captured both red-carpet glamour and holiday festivity.

But beyond the outfit and holiday humor, the post stands out due to its timing, right before Thanksgiving, and the lighthearted tone make it feel like a friend signing off with a wink.

Underwood famously sings the theme to the NFL’s “Sunday Night Football”, and on a day when fans got their fill of football with three games, the singer knows that it’s a big day for her fans and those who tune in for the action.

Whether performing a soaring ballad or joking about elastic waistbands, Underwood knows how to make the holidays feel personal.
