Seven time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood wraps the biggest tour of her career.

Seven-time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood wrapped “The Storyteller Tour” this week completing 92 shows for one million fans across seven countries since its launch in January. The tour sold out arenas across the U.S. and Canada including New York City (Madison Square Garden), Los Angeles (STAPLES Center), Nashville (Bridgestone Arena), Toronto, (Air Canada Center), and many more. In addition to the US and Canada, she traveled overseas to Sweden, Norway, Scotland, England, and Ireland as part of Country to Country (C2C), Europe’s biggest country music festival.

Named Billboard’s #1 country tour of the first half of 2016, and one of Forbes’ 10 hottest tours of the fall, “The Storyteller Tour” travelled over 50,000 miles among 18 trucks and 8 buses. Each show consisted of 112 automation cues controlling all elements of the 150 foot-long in-the-round stage including 7 stage elevators, 3 rings of video screen, a revolving central stage, and mirror ball, through 56 axes of motion. The tour used over 51,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, and dropped over 400 pounds of Mylar. Carrie’s wardrobe, created by Emmy-winning costume designer Marina Toybina, consisted of 32 custom made costumes and 214 pieces of jewelry, allowing for different outfit combinations across the show’s 5 Acts in each city. The tour’s Creative Director was Barry Lather (Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Usher, Michael Jackson) and Butch Allen (Metallica, The Eagles, Eric Church, No Doubt) was the Production & Lighting Designer.
