Carrie Underwood took a sweet stroll down memory lane this Easter, and fans can’t get enough of it.
The American Idol judge and country music superstar shared a rare throwback photo of herself as a toddler on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, April 20.
In the adorable snapshot, baby Carrie is seen standing confidently in front of a microphone, dressed in a frilly white dress with her signature blonde hair tied into low pigtails. But what really caught fans’ eyes? Her classic jelly shoes.
“God’s plan is to be trusted, something little Carrie learned over time. 🙌,” she captioned the nostalgic moment. “Happy Easter everyone! #CUonIDOL tonight for songs of faith, and my performance of ‘How Great Thou Art’ from my gospel hymns album #MySavior!”
Fans were instantly smitten by the childhood photo, flooding the comments with love and admiration. “Little Carrie is frigging adorable,” one user gushed, while another chimed in, “Awww, so stinking cute!!!”
Others couldn’t help but zoom in on the vintage footwear. “Are those jelly shoes??? 🩷” one fan asked excitedly, while another added, “Oh, you’re wearing jelly shoes. My daughters loved them!”
Whether it’s starting a new retro trend or just warming hearts with a peek into her past, Carrie knows how to charm her audience. With her emotional Easter message and a nod to her gospel roots, fans were reminded that even country queens start somewhere—and sometimes that place is behind a tiny mic in jelly shoes.
And yes, she still knows how to steal the spotlight.
