Carrie Underwood's upcoming album, My Savior, includes her version of the gospel hymn “Softly and Tenderly” and the song holds a special place in her heart. Carrie recently release a behind-the-scenes video in which she shares her personal connection to the song.
In 2017, she performed “Softly and Tenderly” at the CMA Awards in memory of the 60-plus people who were killed during a mass shooting at Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas in October of that year.
In the video, Carrie said, “It felt like at the time, that song just brought a lot of healing into the room. I wanted to include it on this project to have it in a more 'done' way. Hopefully it'll continue to bring some healing to people who need it.”
Carrie's My Savior album will be released on March 26th.
