Carrie Underwood unleashed her emotional âCry Prettyâ video during the May 6th episode of American Idol, the reality TV show that launched her career in 2005.
The new video features interspersed clips of Carrie performing the song in a âliveâ setting with vignettes that depict her being overcome by emotion, including scenes in the shower, in front of a make-up mirror and in bed.
âCry Prettyâ is the lead single and title track from Carrieâs upcoming sixth studio album, which will drop on Sept. 14. Carrie will return to American Idol on May 13 to perform âCry Prettyâ live.
Carrie co-penned âCry Prettyâ with Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose and Lori McKenna, and she co-produced the song with David Garcia.
Carrieâs upcoming album will be her first since 2015âs Storyteller, which spawned hits such as âSmoke Break,â âHeartbeat,â âChurch Bellsâ and âDirty Laundry.â
