Carrie Underwood spent Saturday (March 9) —the eve of her 41st birthday— onstage in Las Vegas because of one of her Reflections residency dates. She got an early party thanks to her team. the concert promoters and the packed house of fans.
During her set, a backdrop reading "Happy Birthday, Carrie" became part of the intricate stage show. Underwood received a massive bouquet of flowers and a gold-frosted layer cake that's decorated with even more flowers— presumably of the edible variety.
An unnamed master of ceremonies led the crowing in singing "Happy Birthday," as captured and posted by a TikTok user.
"It's clear why she is the singer and we are all in the audience," joked the TikTok's poster, Tori Madison Beckstead.
Underwood cracked her own joke onstage.
"I'm very glad you did not put 41 candles," she said. "[Someone would] have to call the fire marshal."
Right as the clip is ending, Underwood asks the MC to stick around and help her sing the next song.
Underwood has since thanked fans for her birthday wishes and surprises in the caption of an Instagram carousel of shots from the show.
