Carrie Underwood is sharing new details about the scary fall that resulted in 40-50 stitches to her face and surgery for a broken wrist.
The “Cry Pretty” singer, 35, opened up to Today show’s Hoda Kotb about the accident and her recovery in a wide-ranging interview that aired on Thursday.
“Plain and simple, it was just kind of a freak accident,” Underwood told Kotb. “I just fell. I just tripped taking my dogs out to do their business. It could happen to anybody.”
She adds, “I say if I would have fallen anywhere else, it wouldn’t have been a problem. There was one little step that I went to catch myself on and I missed.”
PEOPLE previously confirmed that Underwood fell outside her Nashville home on Nov. 10, 2017. She told Today she was alone — aside from her 3-year-old son, Isaiah, who was asleep upstairs.

Though Underwood went dark on social media for a brief period of time during recovery, in December 2017, Below Deck alum Adrienne Gang posted a picture with her, marking the first time fans had seen Underwood post-fall.
Then in January, seven weeks after the accident, the country star revealed that in addition to having surgery on her wrist, she required “40 and 50 stitches” to her face, in a statement to her fan club members.
