Exclusive: Carrie Underwood’s Surprising Collaboration with Axl Rose on Guns N’ Roses Tour Setlist Revealed!
Carrie Underwood recently had the incredible opportunity to open for legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses on their stadium tour, and she didn’t disappoint. The country star surprised the audience with some rocking covers in her setlist, including Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll,” Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” and Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades.”
According to a source, the songs weren’t only chosen by Underwood herself – she also received personal input from Guns N’ Roses’ frontman, Axl Rose. With tour dates in Moncton, Montreal, and Nashville, Underwood not only promoted her latest album Denim & Rhinestones but also curated a setlist that catered to fans of both her country sound and the rock vibes of Guns N’ Roses.
Adding variety to her sets, Underwood performed covers like Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” and i-Ten’s “Alone” while opening for the iconic rock band. She even took to the stage with Guns N’ Roses at their Moncton show, joining them for classics like “Paradise City” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”
Underwood, a self-professed rock fan, has shared the stage with Axl Rose before. Earlier in March, she invited him to perform “Welcome to the Jungle” during her Denim & Rhinestones Tour stop in Los Angeles, which was met with thunderous applause from the crowd.
Reflecting on the experience on Instagram, Underwood expressed her gratitude towards Rose, calling herself the luckiest girl in the world. This performance with Axl marked their first collaboration since they rocked the Stagecoach Festival stage together in 2022, where they also sang “Paradise City” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”
In her Instagram post, Underwood gushed about the unforgettable night and thanked Axl for making her lifelong dream come true. She described the experience as a dream and expressed her excitement at having shared the stage with such a rock legend.
Carrie Underwood’s electrifying performances alongside Guns N’ Roses showcase her versatility as an artist and her passion for rock music. As she continues to captivate audiences with her powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage presence, fans can only anticipate what musical surprises she has in store in the future.
