Fans Love Carrie Underwood’s Throwback Performance of “Take Me Out” from Deluxe Album
The song “Take Me Out” is a great ode to date night and significant others finding time to spend together. It can be in a fancy restaurant or an old dive bar, but Underwood sings about the importance of reigniting the spark in an established relationship.
The deluxe edition of Denim & Rhinestones released on September 22, 2023, which coincided with Carrie Underwood’s appearance on the Today Show to promote the album. In March last year, she released the single “Out of That Truck,” which also became an extra track on the expanded album.
Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2022, Underwood laid out what she wanted the album to be when it came time to record. “When we started making the album, [producer David Garcia] did say, ‘What do you want?’ I said, ‘I want to have fun.’ That was where I was at in my world,” she explained. “I wanted to have a good time and sing songs that made me happy and have a blast when I’m onstage. We’ve done so much in the past, with my dramatic phases and different feels of what life is like. I wanted [this album] to be lighter and happier.”
Denim & Rhinestones definitely delivered, presenting a tracklist full of danceable hits. Underwood embarked on an extensive tour in support of the album, and continues to perform her Las Vegas residency, REFLECTION. She recently added more residency dates for 2024 starting in March and heading into October. You can get tickets to the show here, via StubHub.
