Country singer Carrie Underwood is not only opening for Guns N’ Roses, but she’s also covering Motorhead.

This past weekend (Saturday, August 5), Carrie Underwood ran through an 18-song set as part of her opening spot for Guns N’ Roses in Moncton, New Brunswick. Yes, that’s a weird pairing for someone known as a country/pop singer. But she leaned into the gig, covering several rock songs from Joan Jett, The Stones, Zeppelin, and, er, Motorhead.

And yes, it was “Ace of Spades.” Cool.
