However, fans of both acts were surprised to see this colliding of words, and many of them couldn't have been more excited.

"Sure didn't have 'Carrie Underwood listens to I Prevail' on my 2022 bingo card but I love it," one wrote, with another saying: "Carrie listens to metal core? What a time to be alive."
