It's just a couple of days until Carrie Underwood's "Cry Pretty Tour 360" kicks off in Greensboro, North Carolina on Wednesday (5/1) and Carrie can't wait.

She shares of her newly build in the round stage, “I absolutely love my stage being in the middle of the arena. There is something about it that I feel so much more connected with every single person in that building. I feel like we’ve always done a great job of like having big amazing stage sets and putting on a show, but there’s something completely different – and I remember with the 'Storyteller; tour, I was like, ‘Ooh, I hope this is going to be okay. I’m changing everything up,’ But there was just some connection happening. I could see everybody in the arena, every single face. I could have individual connections with people.”

Underwood posted to Instagram recently, "I totally knew we’d make it! #CryPrettyTour360"

"The Cry Pretty Tour 360" also features Maddie & Tae and Runaway June.
