Carrie Underwood was one of the stars that paid tribute to Linda Ronstadt at the Kennedy Center Honors, which aired on Sunday night.

Carrie sang two songs on the show including “Blue Bayou” and “When Will I Be Loved,” with the icon herself clapping Underwood on. When Carrie was done singing she blew Linda a kiss.
