Carrie Underwood is being praised for her thoughtful acts of kindness.
On Monday, a contestant from “American Idol” disclosed that the renowned judge had surprised her with a piece of Tiffany jewelry, along with a heartfelt handwritten note, as a token of congratulations for reaching the top 11 of the singing competition.
“Never imagined my first Tiffany & Co. jewelry would be a gift from Carrie Underwood,” Hannah Harper shared on Facebook, accompanied by a teary-eyed emoji.
She continued, “But honestly, the handwritten note touched me the most. That gesture meant everything. Her taking the time to write it… speaks volumes about her character. She’s truly down-to-earth and incredibly genuine. Just a wonderful, kind person. I have immense love for her,” Harper expressed.
Harper posted an image featuring the elegant Tiffany packaging and Underwood’s note. The note conveyed her congratulations, stating, “From the first moment I saw you, heard your story, and listened to your voice, I knew there was something extraordinary about you.”
She added that women and moms everywhere have related to Harper’s story, calling her an “inspiration.”
The aspiring singer sang an original song about her struggle with postpartum depression in her “American Idol” audition.
“You’re like my favorite person,” Underwood told Harper before she sang. “You’re wearing handmade clothes. You’re singing songs called ‘String Cheese.’”
Harper emotionally explained that she wrote “String Cheese” after the birth of her youngest son, who she said was now a year old.
“And my youngest son — I was just having a pity party, praying that the Lord would calm my spirit—” and my son kept coming up to me, and he said, ‘Hey, Mom, open this. Open my cheese.’”
And she said after she opened his string cheese, she realized God had put her in that position and “my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have, and being a mom, so I gathered myself off the couch and I quit throwing a pity party, and I realized that was exactly what I wanted.”
She added that she “kicked the postpartum depression in the butt and I said, ‘I ain’t doing it.’”
Underwood started crying after Harper sang, calling “String Cheese” “about the most relatable song I’ve ever heard.”
Later, before they told her she was going to Hollywood to continue the competition, Underwood added, “You might be my favorite person who’s walked through those doors in the past three days. You’re gorgeous, like you look like someone who’s famous already. I think you just have a beautiful simplicity to your voice.”
The “Before He Cheats” singer added that she would be thinking about Harper and what song she plans to sing next in the competition.
“I feel like I’m just going to be rooting for you,” she admitted. “I loved everything about everything you just did.”
