The country superstar only has a handful of concerts planned for 2026, and one of them is right here in New England.

Even though she’s taking a well-earned lighter schedule in 2026, it’s still a welcome surprise to see that she’ll be performing this year, even if it’s only for a handful of select dates.

Underwood is the highest RIAA-certified female country artist of all time and the only woman to win the Academy of Country Music’s Entertainer of the Year award three times.

Beyond her music career as a successful entrepreneur and author, Underwood will make her Tanglewood debut following her second season as a judge on American Idol, the show that first made her a household name when she won in 2005.
