Country star Carrie Underwood broke down in tears onstage in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday while performing a song inspired by her mother.She was performing at The Arena at Gwinnett Center outside of Atlanta on Thursday.
The American Idol star began sobbing during a rendition of Don't Forget to Remember Me, on the latest leg of her tour supporting Keith Urban. During the performance of "Don't Forget to Remember Me," from her album Some Hearts, the country singer broke down into tears in the middle of the song's second chorus. According audience members, the singer cried through several lines of the song – then attempted to tackle the chorus but broke down again.
Underwood struggled through the song, but couldn't overcome her tears.
A representative for the star insists the song was written for her mother, and about her leaving home. Lyrics include, "Hey Momma ... tell Me-maw that I miss her/ Yeah, I should give her a call/ And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl."
According to her rep, "Carrie just got overwhelmed in the moment with the song 'Don't Forget To Remember Me.' When she reflects on what has happened to her in the past few years since Idol, coupled with the crowds' reaction to that song, she just reacts in performance."
Underwood later recovered and finished the concert tear-free.
