Fans were left stunned by the performances and shared their adoration online.

“FLAWLESS performance by the one and only, @carrieunderwoo and @cecewinans,” one viewer tweeted. “I will never get tired of Carrie performing for Jesus. Makes my heart so happy.”

“Carrie Underwood is one of the greatest vocalists of all time. I’m in tears. 17 years into her career and her vocals are still out of this world,” gushed another. “We are lucky to be present to witness her greatness.”

“Thank you @carrieunderwood for taking us to church!” added yet another.

Another fan suggested that Underwood and Winans should tour together “as a reward” once the coronavirus pandemic is over.

“We will all be there,” they stated.
