During her stunning performance at the 2025 “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” in Times Square, Carrie Underwood captivated audiences just before the countdown to midnight. However, many viewers seemed more intrigued by her appearance than her singing. Comments on social media echoed a common question: “Did she have plastic surgery?” As one user shared on X, formerly Twitter, others chimed in with similar thoughts, jokingly asking if Underwood had asked for “the Lindsay Lohan” look.
On her Instagram announcement for her upcoming concert special titled “Reflection,” set to stream on Hulu and Disney+ starting January 24, 2025, fans continued speculating about her looks. Comments ranged from unflattering comparisons to her resembling a wax figure to remarks suggesting she resembled Pamela Anderson. As we move past the New Year’s festivities, conversations about Underwood’s evolving appearance continue to spark interest.
Her Cosmetic Enhancements Have a Background Story
While rumors about Carrie Underwood’s cosmetic surgery swirl, they may stem from a real event in her past. In November 2017, she suffered a severe facial injury after a fall while walking her dog, which also resulted in a broken wrist. As she shared with Vulture, the injury affected her singing ability due to stitches both inside and outside her mouth, leading to concerns about how it would impact her music.
Even though the accident provided a plausible explanation for undergoing surgery, Underwood has often dismissed the notion of going under the knife. In a 2018 interview with Redbook, she mentioned that she wished she could have had some cosmetic work done for her scar but didn’t obsess over it. While her appearance has evolved since then, her resilience shines through, and fans are just pleased to see her return to the spotlight as we welcome a new year.
