Just beautiful. The Dove Awards recently took place in Nashville, Tennessee, which are presented by the Gospel Music Association to recognize achievements in the Christian and gospel music industry. And they had a country star you probably know and love in Mrs. Carrie Underwood, who surprised the crowd during Ben Fuller’s performance of “If It Was Up To Me,” which is a song they originally recorded as duet for Fuller’s 2025 Walk Through Fire album. Underwood is very outspoken about her faith, and even pops up on the worship team at her church every now and then too. Of course, Carrie also released an incredible gospel album My Savior in 2021, which she won the Best Roots Gospel Album Grammy for the following year.  The album, which includes tons of classic hymns like “Old Rugged Cross”, “How Great Thou Art”, and “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus”, was inspired by Carrie’s experiences singing in church growing up, and it was easily one of my favorite records of 2021. During press time after her win, she was asked if this one means just a little bit more than her seven other Grammys, simply due to the personal sentiment and meaning behind every song. She immediately teared up answering the question, and you could feel just how much it meant to her to win something for this record in particular: “I’m gonna immediately start crying… I feel like it’s more important, ‘cuz I feel like this is one of the most important bodies of work I’ve ever been apart of, been able to do. This is one thing that I’ve wanted to do literally my whole career, I’ve wanted to make this alum, and I got to. And this just means the world to me. Man, I didn’t last any length of time, did I?” If you haven’t check it out yet, I highly recommend doing so. It’s obvious how much her faith means to her, and “If It Was Up To Me” was actually nominated for Bluegrass, Country, and Roots Recorded Song of the Year at this years Dove Awards, which ultimately went to Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll for their song “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” But there’s just something special about Carrie singing any kind of Christian or Gospel music, and I can truly never get enough. I think she was born for it, and I sincerely hope she’ll consider putting out another gospel album one day because My Savior is spectacular and remains my favorite thing she’s ever done. “A surprise no one saw coming! Carrie Underwood joined Ben Fuller on stage for a stunning performance of ‘If It Was Up to Me’ at this year’s Dove Awards!” I had actually not heard this song before their performance, but I’ve already added it to my playlist and loved watching their live performance too: View this post on Instagram A post shared by TBN (@tbn) “If It Was Up To Me” The post Carrie Underwood Delivers Beautiful Duet Of “If It Was Up To Me” With Ben Fuller During Surprise Appearance At The Dove Awards first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
