It’s official: wearable technology has taken over music’s biggest night. We were truly “Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood’s high tech dress while performing at the Grammy’s last night. While certain celebrities like Jennifer Lopez resorted to giving off a shock factor with risqué garments (she channeled her infamous plunging Versace gown from 2000, but switched up the skin by completely baring her right leg in an Anthony Vaccarello piece), one country star decided to wow us with technological fashion.
Yes, the always lovely Carrie Underwood completely rocked her Grammy performance by donning a simple grey dress that suddenly transformed into an animated light show as she belted out “Two Black Cadillacs” from her most recent album, “Blown Away.”
It was truly an incredible experience to watch the images flash and transform on the “Good Girl” singer’s dress right before your eyes – from rose petals falling to butterflies flapping – all in the form of projections. It truly gave off an artistic and dramatic feel, which according to US Weekly, Underwood explains was the goal.
Backstage, Underwood told reporters, “They can do a lot of amazing things with projectors these days…I said I should take that home where we can watch movies on it…You wanna watch movies on my dress?”

The American Idol alum continued that the dress was specially made for her, where the top resembled a normal material while the bottom was made to operate as a projection screen. She added that the rules were very strict when it came time to take the stage, which left her with some physical limitations to make the entire performance work.
“I had a certain place to stand and they had to…really make sure it wasn’t…going off around me. It took a lot of precision. I’ve got a lot of great people.”
