For the last 30 years, Carrie Underwood rocked bright blonde locks, but not anymore. As the country music fans were in for a surprise when the Remind Me singer shared a post on her Instagram.
It was a dramatic transformation as she returned to her original roots, which she called 'bronde.'
"Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance," she captioned two photos of her new look," she shared.
"Thanks, @hairbykatelin_ at @parlour3beauty for helping me get back to my roots! #NewOldMe #Bronde," the caption read.
This change, Carrie previously revealed, is something she wanted to do but opted out of over fear of "shocking" people.
"I'd love to do a little more with hair color," the Champion crooner told Refinery 29 in 2017. "I've always been blonde! The problem is, I don't want to shock people – like if I dyed my hair brown, I don't want people to think I'm turning dark and serious."
She continued, "I wish I had started changing my hair around in the beginning, then it wouldn't be such a big shock if I did something like that now."
As far as work is concerned, the 42-year-old will appear for the 13th consecutive stint at Sunday Night Football, where she will perform the show's theme track Waiting All Day for Sunday Night on September 7.
