American Idol winner Carrie Underwood is satisfied with The Ohio State University’s Marching Band’s recent performance. During the Ohio State vs. Akron match, the band attempted to take a dig at Underwood’s hit song ‘Cowboy Casanova. The ‘Before He Cheats’ singer tweeted “Awesome!” alongside a video snippet of the band’s performance, which also featured a drum major getting a twirling feature and backflip.
The band responded to Underwood’s retreat via Twitter, writing, “Glad you approve, Carrie! Thanks for showing us some love! #GoBucks.” Underwood’s fans were equally excited. Per The Outsider, one fan responded on Twitter, writing, “Carrie getting the love yet again….Our Alabama band needs to do the same!!” Another fan added, “Wow. I wish we would’ve done cool things like this when I was in the band.”
