Carrie Underwood, Christina Applegate, and Kristin Chenoweth wowed with stunning ’60s harmonies and surprise vocals

Clad in shimmering retro mini dresses, towering go-go boots, and flawless bouffant hairstyles, the three performers truly embodied the magic of the 1960s. From the instant they appeared, it was obvious that this would be far more than a simple holiday number — it was a vibrant throwback celebration bursting with authentic detail and contagious excitement.

“We didn’t just want to cover the sixties — we wanted to live in them,” Carrie confessed during a backstage interview.

Launching into unforgettable classics such as “Be My Baby,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” and “Downtown,” the trio swapped solos and intertwined harmonies so flawlessly that even devoted fans were left astonished — particularly by Christina Applegate’s impressive vocal power.

“Seriously, did anyone know Christina Applegate could sing like a pro?” tweeted a bewildered fan.
“They need to record a full retro album together, immediately,” exclaimed another.

While Kristin Chenoweth’s operatic background and Carrie Underwood’s country dominance made them an obvious vocal match, it was Christina’s unexpectedly soulful grit that gave the group’s sound a genuine and surprising edge that electrified the performance.

At the midpoint of the set, Kristin paused to dedicate the night’s performance to the trailblazing women of the ’60s who “opened doors for every dreamer with a song to sing.” The atmosphere grew thick with emotion as rare footage of legends like Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, and Petula Clark lit up the screens behind them.

Overcome with emotion, Carrie dabbed at her eyes, and with a playful smile quipped,

“Big hair and teary mascara are not a good mix, folks!”

In a night overflowing with dazzling moments, Carrie Underwood, Christina Applegate, and Kristin Chenoweth’s heartfelt 1960s tribute stood as the show’s undeniable highlight — blending unforgettable songs, jaw-dropping surprises, heartfelt tributes, and timeless glamour. They didn’t just perform old hits; they revived an era, showing that true star quality never fades — it simply transcends time.
