Carrie Underwood surprised Guns N’ Roses fans in Atlanta when she joined the legendary rock band onstage for “Paradise City,” adding fresh fuel to reports that the country superstar could be working on a rock project with Axl Rose.
Underwood appeared with Guns N’ Roses during their September 19 performance at Truist Park in Atlanta. She later shared photos from the night and thanked Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash and the entire crew for inviting her to perform.
Carrie Underwood Returns To The Guns N’ Roses Stage
Underwood has never hidden her love for rock music, and her latest appearance with Guns N’ Roses is far from her first collaboration with the band.
She previously performed “Sweet Child O’ Mine” with Axl Rose during her headlining set at Stagecoach in 2022.
Later that year, she surprised fans at a Guns N’ Roses show in London, where she performed with the full band. She has also incorporated Guns N’ Roses material into her own performances, including a cover of “Welcome to the Jungle.”
Her connection to the band continued in Atlanta when she joined them for “Paradise City.”

Following the performance, Underwood thanked the group on social media, writing that it was “yet another amazing show” and expressing her gratitude to Rose, McKagan, Slash and the rest of the crew for letting her join them onstage.
Her Rock Side Has Been Showing More Often
Underwood’s recent performances have continued to highlight her enthusiasm for heavier music.
Just weeks before the Guns N’ Roses appearance, she surprised fans with a cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff.”
She has also previously showcased her rock influences through performances of Guns N’ Roses songs and even delivered a drum solo during “Poor Everybody Else.”
These moments have added to the long-running conversation about whether Underwood might eventually make a full project dedicated to rock music.
Carrie Has Already Said A Rock Album Is Possible
The idea is not entirely new.
In a 2023 interview with Audacy, Underwood was asked about the possibility of releasing a rock album. Rather than ruling it out, she made it clear that she would never say never.
“You never really know with me,” she said, explaining that different musical influences can find their way into her songs and performances.
Underwood also revealed that she grew up listening to a wide range of music and has a particular “affinity” for rock and metal.
She said she loves the energy of rock music and described attending rock concerts as feeling like “freedom.”
Axl Rose Is Reportedly Helping With New Music
Now, a new report has added another intriguing detail to the possibility of Underwood making a rock project.
According to TMZ, sources claim that Rose is helping Underwood work on rock music.
The report has not been confirmed by Underwood herself, however, and there is currently no official word on exactly what she may be working on.
It is also unclear whether the reported project would become a full-length album, an EP or simply a single.
Nothing Has Been Officially Announced Yet
For now, Underwood’s Atlanta appearance remains the clearest recent sign of her continued connection to the rock world.
Her history with Guns N’ Roses, her recent Limp Bizkit cover and her own past comments about potentially making a rock album have all kept the possibility alive.
Whether those pieces eventually lead to an official rock release remains to be seen. If the reported collaboration with Rose develops into a larger project, it would mark a notable new direction for a singer whose career has largely been rooted in country music.
