Carrie Underwood stuns fans as she looks unrecognizable in photos from Montana fishing trip

MONTANA, UNITED STATES: Carrie Underwood, the 'Drinking Alone' singer, shared Montana fishing trip photos with husband Mike Fisher, leaving fans stunned by her transformed look.

As the beloved country star gears up for her historic role as a judge on ABC's 'American Idol,' her laid-back outing has ignited a wave of reactions, showcasing her down-to-earth charm and the buzz around her return to the show that launched her career. 

Carrie Underwood had 'best day' while fly fishing in Montana

Fans of Carrie Underwood expressed their shock at her appearance in photos from her recent fishing trip to Montana with her husband of 14 years, NHL star-turned-Catchin' Deers owner Mike Fisher.

The 41-year-old country singer, who has 13.2 million followers on social media, shared a carousel post on Instagram on September 14 with the caption: “Had the BEST day today fly fishing in Montana! Thanks to our epic guide, Jason, for the expertise! What a day!”

Ditching her usual glam look, Carrie opted for a casual style with an orange Wind River Ranch baseball cap over her blonde braids and Simms waders paired with a matching gray hoodie.

It’s unclear if Carrie and Mike brought along their nine-year-old son, Isaiah, and five-year-old son, Jacob.

Meanwhile, auditions are ongoing for the 23rd season of ABC’s 'American Idol,' where Underwood will make history as the first former contestant to serve as a judge after winning the competition in 2004.

Reflecting on the experience, the singer who was just 21 when she auditioned for the show in St Louis, shared with 'Good Morning America' on August 2: “I mean it it feels like home! There's so many people that even still work on the show that were there when I was a contestant.”

“So I feel like being on both sides of the coin, I'll be able to hopefully offer some insight and help,” she added.

As for her judging style, Carrie stated, “I can't lie. I just can't it's not you can tell I feel like I'll be very honest, but hopefully you know I can be very constructive and encouraging.”

She reassured fans that she won’t be overly critical: “Oh gosh no. I mean, just ask my kids. I feel like I'm not too harsh.”

With 9.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Underwood is set to release her duet with Grammy winner Cody Johnson, 'I’m Gonna Love You,' this Friday.

She is also scheduled to resume her on-and-off Reflection residency at Resorts World Las Vegas on October 16, as per DailyMail.

One user wrote, "She does look different. Still absolutely beautiful! Did she get her teeth done? Not putting her down just wondering."

A person wrote, "I honestly don't think that that is Carrie Underwood but it is an account made in her name."
