Jett and Underwood showcased their powerhouse harmonies and the control in their voices on “Crimson and Clover.” It was followed by the upbeat and liberating newer song “Fresh Start.” They concluded their medley of hits with Jett’s chart-topping signature tune, “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” which was sheer bliss, as everybody in the audience recited the chorus verbatim. “Joan Jett,” Underwood exclaimed, following the performance. “Yes, that just happened,” Underwood added.

In other Carrie Underwood news, she is headlining “The Cry Pretty Tour 360.”
