As the New Year approaches, all eyes are on Carrie Underwood as she gears up to co-host Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve alongside Ryan Seacrest in the heart of Times Square. However, the spotlight has also brought attention to whispers on social media about changes in her appearance.

The 41-year-old country music star recently shared a video with her 13.2 million Instagram followers, announcing her upcoming performance just before the iconic ball drop. In response, some users took to the comments section, speculating about possible plastic surgery.

“Quit the plastic surgery already. Sold soul,” one disgruntled commenter remarked, reflecting a sentiment echoed by a few others.

In anticipation of the event, the “Before He Cheats” singer posted an Instagram Carousel featuring snapshots from her previous New Year’s Eve performances, dating back to 2015 and 2007. The American Idol alum captioned the post with enthusiasm: “Looking back on some @RockinEve memories from 2015 and 2007 before I bring in 2025 with a live performance right before midnight in Times Square – tune in New Year’s Eve at 8/7c on @ABC!”

Despite the celebratory tone, some followers couldn’t resist questioning her appearance. “How much surgery has she had since then?” one user asked, while another simply commented, “way too much.”

‘How much surgery has she had since then?’ one commenter questioned, as another wrote, ‘way too much.’ 

Carrie’s followers were quick to come to her defense, with one responding, ‘What does that have to do with any of this, why even mention that? Why a rude and unnecessary thing to say.

‘She looks amazing! Some people are just naturally beautiful,’ another one of her fans – once called Carrie’s Care Bears – weighed in. 

As Carrie Underwood prepares to host Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Times Square, some people on social media are taking note of her changing face 

After the singer shared a video with her Instagram followers announcing that she’s performing right before the ball drops, some commenters accused her of getting plastic surgery

This is far from the first time the Somethin’ Bad singer has been accused of undergoing surgery, especially after sharing snaps with her Instagram followers. 

When she posted a selfie on December 3, commenters quickly questioned why she looked different. 

Some attributed the evolution to heavy makeup, with one writing, ‘Carrie is beautiful all natural she doesn’t need all that makeup on her. She is absolutely beautiful inside and out with an amazing voice.’ 

‘I’m not a hater. I know she had surgery when she fell, but what is going on? You are already pretty, most women would like you others just age gracefully. 

Carrie previously opened up about undergoing surgery after a nasty fall on the steps of her home in Nashville in late 2017 while walking her dogs late at night. 

After the accident, which resulted in 40 stitches in her face and a broken wrist, the Oklahoma-born singer admitted she felt forced to speak out to avoid being accused of having plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons.

‘I feel like I do [look different] a little bit. My biggest worry at the time was like, if I say nothing then later on… I feel like people are gonna say, “What has she done to herself electively?” And it definitely was not a choice. I feel close to myself. I feel pretty close to normal,’ Carrie said during a visit to the Ellen DeGeneres show in 2018. 

The mom of two, who spent months after her operation hiding her face from the public, explained that the damage was worse than she originally thought. 

When she posted a selfie on December 3, commenters quickly questioned why she looked so different – and she’s dealt with plastic surgery allegations on social media for many years

In the years since falling while walking her dogs and getting multiple stitches, the Grammy winner’s social media followers have called her ‘unrecognizable’ multiple times

‘I feel like any time anything happens, it’s adrenaline or something, you don’t really know until you take a second to assess,’ Carrie said at the time. 

In the years since the accident, the Grammy winner’s social media followers have accused her of looking ‘unrecognizable’ multiple times. 

In September, Carrie shared snaps from a fishing trip to Montana with her husband of 14 years, NHL star-turned-Catchin’ Deers owner Mike Fisher. 

‘Love Carrie but she needs to stop with all the facial and teeth enhancements. She was so beautiful before and didn’t need to join the world of “unnatural beauty,”‘ one of her followers wrote.
