Carrie Underwood brings different people on stage to sing her song "The Champion" every night and just recently when she played Tulsa, Oklahoma, she got to bring her own mother to the stage to sing.

Carrie shared on Instagram last night, "Got to share the stage with this amazing champion tonight! Of course, I’m talking about my mom! She crushed it! #CryPrettyTour360 @bokcenter #Tulsa #Oklahoma."

Tulsa World reported that Underwood told the crowd she was going to be joined on stage by someone who was a teacher for 25 years (“Thank you, teachers”) and she followed by saying the guest has three daughters and volunteers at a local animal shelter.

“I’m not reading any of this off the teleprompter,” Carrie said. “How do I know all of this stuff about this woman? Because this is my mama. She is a champion. She has never sang in front of a ton of people like this before so when she gets on this stage, you guys better give her all your love and all the support.”
