Carrie Underwood’s Las Vegas residency, Reflection, has come to an end.
The singer, 42, concluded the show on Saturday, April 12, more than three years after she opened it — and became host of the first show at the Resorts World Theatre — in December 2021.
Throughout her 90-minute concert, Underwood put on a master class in showmanship one last time, keeping the energy high and keeping it business as usual while passionately belting out hits like “Cowboy Casanova,” “Before He Cheats” and “Church Bells.”
“We are extremely blessed to be able to be on this stage,” she said at one point, referring to herself and her backing band. “There are so many turns of events I know in my life, and I’m sure in these guys’ lives, that only God could have opened those doors and got me to the next place.”
“It’s been really incredible to be on that roller coaster ride, and definitely recognize that it’s all Him and just all blessings,” the mom of two continued. “It has been an absolute honor to get to be on this stage. From all of us, we are so blessed. I’m gonna be reflecting on all that we’ve done here with you guys.”

Underwood’s last bow came after 72 performances. For over three years, Reflection embodied all things Vegas, as it featured sequins, pyro, mirrors, fashion and over-the-top set pieces.
“I have always loved touring, but having the chance to play for an extended period of time in one place has really been satisfying,” Underwood told PEOPLE exclusively in the lead-up to the last show. “I love that we get to do this show for people who have come to Las Vegas from all over the world.”
She added, “We always like to bring big production values to our show, but Reflection really allowed us to take that to a new level.”

During her final show, Underwood largely managed her emotions, knowing that she was in the midst of her Vegas swan song. However, her voice seemed to break slightly as she descended from the stage for the last time, following a stunning rendition of 2014’s “Something in the Water,” her closing number.
“Thank you again for coming to Reflection,” the American Idol alum — and now new judge — said. “It has been an honor and a privilege, and a pleasure and a blessing to get to be in this stage.”
