We’re guessing fans in the audience of Papa Roach‘s concert in Las Vegas Saturday were losing their sight and losing their mind when Carrie Underwood made a surprise appearance.
The American Idol winner and country star showed up during the show to rock the Roach’s signature single, “Last Resort,” as well as their collaborative song “Leave a Light On (Talk Away the Dark).”
“Still in disbelief over this one,” Underwood writes in an Instagram post. “On Saturday, after my Reflection [Las Vegas residency] show, we changed my clothes, dried my hair and headed over to catch the @paparoach show down the street. Not only did I get to perform ‘Leave a Light On’ with them, but I got called BACK out to do ‘Last Resort,’ because, why not?!”
“These guys are the real deal,” she adds. “25 years of melting faces and I know they’ve got more work to do! What a great show!”
Papa Roach and Underwood released “Leave a Light On (Talk Away the Dark)” in 2024. The track supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Underwood, of course, is well known as a rock fan — during a recent episode of American Idol, she sang along with an auditioning contestant performing Korn‘s “Freak on a Leash” and Drowning Pool‘s “Bodies.”
