Carrie Underwood brought her three-year REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency to a close on Saturday, after performing 72 shows and entertaining more than 300,000 fans at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas.
The eight-time GRAMMY winner isn’t just the first and longest-running resident headliner at Resorts World Theatre—she also holds the record for the longest Las Vegas residency by a solo female country artist, making history on the legendary Vegas Strip.

During the final night, the Oklahoma native took a moment to express her gratitude while reflecting on the residency, which has become a highlight of her career so far.
“REFLECTION has truly been one of the standout moments of my performing career thus far,” Underwood shared. “It is a production I am so very proud of and have had so much fun performing over the course of this residency these past 3+ years. I’ve loved being in Las Vegas where we’ve welcomed fans from all over the world who have come to see us. It’s been so special to reflect on the first 20 years of this career I am so grateful for, and have loved being on stage with my band and all the performers every night. Thank you AEG Presents, Resorts World, and Las Vegas for making my first residency such an amazing experience!”

Underwood’s show was praised by fans and critics alike for its breathtaking special effects, dazzling pyrotechnics, and cutting-edge visual and audio technology. The production was designed specifically for Las Vegas and incorporates grand set pieces that are too elaborate to take on tour, including a spectacular elevating waterfall that delivers a show-stopping finale.
REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency came to life on the small screen earlier this year with a concert special on Hulu. This exclusive special gives viewers a front row seat to her larger-than-life show inside Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas.
“Reflection is just kind of all about, you know obviously we want to get there. We want to do our hits. We want to reflect upon all the things that we’ve been so blessed to be able to have accomplished over the past few years and that I’ve been lucky enough to do this, and then obviously when you think about a staging standpoint, Reflection is, you can do a lot with that visually,” she previously shared. “So, it just seemed like a great concept as far as what we could do with it on stage and also having that kind of personal reflection being able to look back on all of the things that we’ve been able to do.”

In honor of the last show, resented Make-A-Wish with a $236,844 check, representing the support of every fan who attended REFLECTION over the past few years. The donation comes at a meaningful time — April is World Wish Month and 2025 marks the 45th anniversary of Make-A-Wish.

One of the most memorable moments of Carrie Underwood’s closing night was her heartfelt reunion with Noel Miller, a former Make-A-Wish recipient she first met in 2008 when Noel was just 12 years old. Now 28, Noel joined Carrie onstage for a special performance of her chart-topping hit “All-American Girl” — a fan-favorite moment from REFLECTION that originally debuted during Underwood’s 2008 Carnival Ride Tour. A dedicated WishMaker, Underwood has been granting wishes through Make-A-Wish since the start of her music career nearly two decades ago.
