All good things must come to an end. And for superstar singer Carrie Underwood, her residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas ends this weekend.

She is counting down to the last show on her X account:

Carrie Underwood's Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre kicked off in December 2021, marking a significant milestone as she became the first artist to perform at this new, state-of-the-art venue.

She called the opportunity a "special honor." She brought her star power and captivating performances to the heart of Vegas, but it will culminate in her final show Saturday night.

Underwood's residency is ending just as MrBeast is set to take over. Resorts World Las Vegas is teaming up with the internet star to create a special hotel package called the "MrBeast Experience at Resorts World," which starts on Sunday.

What About Carrie Underwood's Throne?

As the last show approaches, Underwood has been doing a lot of reflecting on stage, even talking about what she was thinking about doing with the custom throne that was built specifically for her to sit in during her performance of her hit, "Two Black Cadillacs."

In a video that she posted on her Instagram, Underwood joked to the crowd that she's got "totally normal" plans for the chair after the residency is over. "We got this chair that I gotta brag on," she said from the stage. "The people that put this together, they literally went to a junkyard and found this super old Cadillac, chopped it up and made a throne for me to sit on."

"I think I'm gonna put it in my living room when we pack up. That's normal, right?" Underwood continued. "Just have my dog in my lap, crocheting on my throne. It'll be awesome."

Anyone who has seen Underwood's Vegas show knows that this isn't just a normal chair. It was hand-built from reconstructed parts of a limited-edition 1963 Cadillac especially for the production. Check out the picture Jeff Johnson posted on Carrie Underwood's official website.

It's also very big, and almost as long as a sofa you'd put in your living room or finished basement, and it has headlights that actually work. The back of the throne is designed with metal tubes shaped into spikes.

The show also features three massive screens. Twenty custom wardrobe looks were designed for the production, with seven unique, handcrafted costumes showcased each night.

Underwood's Residency Has a Unique Flair

The residency's finale featured Carrie performing "Something in the Water" against a dramatic water wall that was approximately 46 feet wide by 20 feet tall.

She has to end the show with it because she ends up soaking wet after spending the better part of four minutes under a constant waterfall.

She even shared some behind the scenes video that shows how she went from the stage, soaking wet, to her dressing room to change and get to an event.

She was on the move trying to get to a Papa Roach show. She joined the band on stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 5 to perform "Leave a Light On" and "Last Resort."

Underwood's Las Vegas residency gave fans an unforgettable experience, showcasing her amazing talent and energetic stage presence in the heart of the entertainment world. Her powerful voice and engaging performances featured a mix of her biggest hits and fan favorites, all set against a backdrop of stunning visuals and captivating production.

Even though the residency is ending, her career is far from over, and Carrie has plenty to keep her busy. She continues her role as a judge on American Idol, a contest she won in 2005.

She also enjoys spending time at home raising chickens, baking bread, growing vegetables, and crocheting, which she humorously calls her "granny hobby."

In Vegas, two, three, or four of a kind typically works best, but for Underwood, she is truly one-of-a-kind, and there is nothing wrong with that.
