Carrie Underwood Confirms She Won’t Tour in 2026

She cites American Idol duties as her focus.

Overview

  • Underwood told Jimmy Kimmel Live that she has no tour plans for 2026, replying, “No! Nah. I’ll go see them.”
  • She returns as a judge on American Idol alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, with the new season premiering tonight on ABC.
  • Her Reflections Las Vegas residency concluded in April 2025 following her 2022–23 Denim & Rhinestones tour.
