Carrie Underwood Rocks Daisy Dukes and Matching Denim Boots for GMA Performance — See Her Summer-Ready Look!

Carrie Underwood is kicking off the weekend in style.

During her Friday, Aug. 2 Good Morning America Summer Concert Series appearance, the eight-time Grammy winner had a denim-on-denim moment that is perfect for a summer event.

Underwood, 41, took the stage at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park in daisy dukes and matching denim knee-high boots. She coordinated the belt on her shorts with her cropped sequin flower jacket.

The "Before He Cheats" singer completed her look with colorful bejeweled rings and wore her long blonde hair down. She treated fans gathered early Friday morning to performances of "Last Name," "Before He Cheats" and "Out of That Truck."

The day before her GMA performance, Underwood revealed that she would be returning to American Idol to take over for Katy Perry. She previously won season 4 of the singing competition show in 2005, making this new gig a full circle-moment.

"I remember being at home in our little house and seeing on TV that there were auditions in St. Louis. My mom said, 'If you want to go, I'll drive you,' " Underwood said of her trip from Checotah, Okla., to the audition that would change her life. "I went from nobody knowing my name to tens of millions of people watching the show."

During her Aug 2. concert, Underwood said that her upcoming gig "feels like going home."

"There's so many people that even still work on the show that were there from when I was a contestant," she added.

Underwood also joked that she has a "big problem" with her upcoming judging gig. "I can't lie," she said.

"I just can't. You can tell," she added. "I feel like I'll be very honest, but hopefully I can be very constructive and encouraging."

The "Jesus, Take the Wheel," singer previously appeared on American Idol in 2018 and 2022. In 2018, she performed "Cry Pretty" after suffering a facial injury. She served as a guest mentor in 2022 for the 20 semi-finalists.

Season 25 of American Idol will premiere in the spring of 2025.
