Country music fans hoping to catch Carrie Underwood on tour in 2026 will have to wait a bit longer. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the award‑winning singer confirmed that she has no plans to embark on a solo tour this year.
Underwood, who sits alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie as a judge on American Idol, was asked about her touring intentions for 2026. With a straightforward “No! Nah,” she playfully indicated she might go watch her fellow judges on the road rather than headline her own tour.
This announcement follows the conclusion of her Reflection residency in Las Vegas in April 2025 and comes at a point when Underwood has not released a new full studio album since her 2022 project Denim & Rhinestones. With her schedule focused on television duties, family life in Nashville and other commitments, a touring hiatus appears to be her plan for the coming year.
Underwood remains one of country music’s biggest stars, with a career spanning multiple chart‑topping albums and tours. While fans may be disappointed they won’t see her in a full tour in 2026, she continues to stay visible in the genre through her high‑profile role on American Idol and other projects.
