Carrie Underwood Sings “Softly And Tenderly” In Honor Of Shooting Victims
This year’s 51st Annual Country Music Awards was memorable for the most beautiful reason. It goes down on record for being a night of hope and healing and Carrie Underwood's performance has everything to do with it! Credit: Reuters At the CMAs, Carrie Underwood gave the most beautiful tribute to the lives that were lost this year. She sung the traditional hymn, “Softly and Tenderly”. She is wearing a gorgeous white dress and she looks breath-taking! The delicacy of her voice is so perfect for such a song. She truly carried out the emotion of every word. [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] While she was signing, the audience held lit candles as pictures of other country artist and musicians who passed away this year were played in a video on the screen behind her. Included in that video were pictures and names of the lost victims of the recent shooting in Las Vegas.

There was not a dry eye in the room. Even the famous country singer was so full of emotion, that she chocked up from holding back tears. She had to pause as she was singing the song to compose herself.
