Longtime Underwood fans know she loves Guns N' Roses. In November 2019, she shared a clip from a GNR concert she attended after wrapping her Cry Pretty Tour 360. "I rank tonight as one of the top 5 nights of my entire life!" she wrote. "After the last show of our tour last night me and the band flew out to Vegas [Caesars Palace] for a [Guns N' Roses] show. It. Was. Incredible. I'm talking 3 hours worth of incredible!" Underwood also wore a GNR shirt while rehearsing for the 2019 ACM Awards.

Carrie Underwood really treated this festival like a Vegas Residency or a Super Bowl Halftime Show. Outfit changes, top tier vocals (even with the mic problems it was amazing), choir, Axl Rose, theatrics. What a fun show this was. Loved every moment. #CarrieUnderwood #Stagecoach pic.twitter.com/zTf9hjPoTW

During a stop on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2020, Underwood said she met Rose after seeing GNR perform in 2019. "I do always say that it's hard when you meet your heroes because I do consider him to be somebody who taught me how to sing because I loved how he could just do different things with his voice," Underwood recalled. "I was like, 'I don't know! If I meet him, and he's not everything I want him to be.' But he was. It was great. He was super cool and nice, and we talked – we're best friends."
