Carrie Underwood Nonchalantly Shows Off Scar in Throwback Selfie

Carrie Underwood posted a pretty powerful selfie on Friday (October 5). From first glance, the photo looks standard enough — a throwback to her “Love Wins” music video shoot — but at its core, the Instagram post is so much more than that.

Though the focal point of the picture is her left eye, caked in leftover makeup, what’s more telling is the country star’s willingness to show her scar. If you look closely, you can see the scar running from her lip to her nose. The battle wound is a result from a nasty fall the 35-year-old singer suffered late last year.

Check out her Instagram post below.

Underwood tripped on the steps outside her home in Nashville last November while taking her dogs out. The accident left the “Cry Pretty” star with over 40 stitches in her face, and a broken wrist.

Despite the fall, this year is shaping up to be a great one for Underwood. Her latest album, Cry Prettymade country music history; she is pregnant with her second child, and she recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“How is this my life?” Underwood emotionally asked at the beginning of her star acceptance speech. “How does a girl from Checotah, Oklahoma, get a star on the Walk of Fame? I will tell you: belief. So many people who have believed in me.”
