The country queen showed off her new short do on the CMT Music Awards red carpet Wednesday night.
“I needed my life to be a little more simple,” Underwood, 33, told CMT. “It was taking too long to do things that shouldn’t take long. It keeps getting shorter!”
The singer, who isperforming her fan-favorite song“Church Bells” during the show, wore a floor-lengthfloral Mikael D gownand had her new hair styled in soft waves for the event.
“I can barely pull it back in a ponytail now,” she said.
PEOPLE later caught up with Underwood who shared that her new hair routine allows her to have more free time with her son.
“It’s just easier to fix in the morning. I found myself blowdrying my long hair trying to make it look decent while Isaiah is like, ‘Pick me up and play with me,’ and I would rather be doing that,” she explained. “I was just like, ‘Enough, no more extensions.’ It was a mess. It was enough. This is better. This is me.”

It’s also not the first time Underwood has gone short. In December, the star first debutedher lobbefore performing at the Grand Ole Opry and explained toEllecutting it was a “mom move.”
“I wash my hair every day and I know that’s not great for it, but I work out and I sweat a lot so I need to, and I’m on stage and I sweat even more,” she said. “I could spend half an hour to blow it dry and have it be super long, or I could spend that time playing with my son, and I’d much rather do the latter.”
