During her 2012 “Blown Away” tour stop in Louisville, Kentucky, country superstar Carrie Underwood gave one young fan an unforgettable experience — and a moment that quickly went viral. When a 12-year-old boy in the crowd held up a sign asking for his first kiss, Carrie brought him on stage and surprised everyone by saying yes.
A Bold Sign, A Surprising Response
The fan, named Chase, was sitting close to the front row holding a handwritten sign that read:
“Carrie, be my first kiss?”
Underwood saw the sign and couldn’t resist addressing it. She paused the show, read the sign aloud into the microphone, and said with a laugh, “How old are you?” When Chase responded “Twelve,” Carrie joked, “Well, I won’t go to jail for that!”
The crowd erupted in laughter.
Moments later, Carrie Underwood leaned in and gave the young fan a quick kiss on the lips — a moment that sent the arena into cheers and applause.
The Crowd Loved It — But Reactions Were Mixed Online
Thousands of fans in the audience were touched by the sweet and spontaneous gesture. The moment was captured on video and quickly uploaded to YouTube, where it gathered millions of views in just days.
However, not all reactions were positive. While many viewers called the moment “cute,” others debated whether the kiss was appropriate — given the age gap and public setting.
Some headlines at the time asked:
“Cute or creepy?”
Despite the mixed online reaction, Carrie’s lighthearted gesture was clearly meant to be innocent and fun — a once-in-a-lifetime memory for a young fan who idolized her.
