She made her first late night appearance of the era on the latest installment of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform the single Pink Champagne.

Carrie performed in front of a set bathed in pink to reflect the song's title, opting for an all-black ensemble to go with it in a departure from her usually more colorful ensembles.

Another said: "I guess you're never too old to bejewel your microphone," and a third commented: "She has great fashion sense." Some even looked at her mic and compared her to Jennifer Lopez.

The Denim and Rhinestones LP is her first since March 2021, since her last Grammy-winning gospel record My Savior and her previous Christmas album, My Gift before it.
