Country music superstar Carrie Underwood shared news in November 2017 that she fell outside of her Nashville home and suffered a broken wrist. However, her accident was more severe than she had previously let on. In a New Year’s letter to her fan club members, Underwood explained that she is now willing to talk about why she won’t look quite the same the next time you see her.

Here’s what we know about her injuries and how different she will look when we see her again — including the most recent update from the singer herself on her fall (page 6).

In a year-end post to her faithful fans, Underwood revealed that not only did she hurt her wrist but she also injured her face when she fell.

“There is also another part of the story that I haven’t been ready to talk about since I have still been living it and there has been much uncertainty as to how things will end up,” she wrote. “It’s crazy how a freak random accident can change your life. In addition to breaking my wrist, I somehow managed to injure my face as well.”
