During the 90-minute concert, Underwood, 42, thanked fans and her team while getting choked up on stage. "We are extremely blessed to be able to be on this stage," she told the crowd, HelloMagazine said.

"There are so many turns of events I know in my life, and I'm sure in these guys' lives, that only God could have opened those doors and got me to the next place."
