“Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!! 😍 OMG! Best news EVER!!!!! Can’t wait!!,” wrote one social media user, while another added, “Yay!!!! I’m soooo excited can’t wait and I love the name ❤️

The news comes on the heels of Underwood’s eighth career GRAMMY Award win when she took home the Best Roots Gospel Album trophy for her faith-based project, My Savior.

The Oklahoma native had jaws dropping during the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards when she took the stage for a soaring performance of her brand new single, “Ghost Story.” 

The haunting song dropped in mid-March and serves as the lead single off the upcoming project. 

The track is unlike anything fans have heard from the superstar as “Ghost Story” takes a new spin on a revenge song

“Instead of smashing headlights, this scorned lover is letting her ex know that she will continue to haunt him no matter how hard he tries to forget her,” Underwood previously explained of the tune, which was co-written by Josh Kear, Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia and co-produced by Garcia and Underwood.

Denim & Rhinestones is the follow-up to 2018’s Cry Pretty. Since then, Underwood also released a Christmas album, My Gift, in 2020, and a Gospel album, My Savior, in 2021.
