She was the headlining artist at the event organized by Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville, Iowa. During the performance, Carrie gave a few nu-metal covers of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Papa Roach. She gave an outstanding performance, which amazed the audience.

Throughout the act, she kept on delivering some enthusiastic performances. Later, she sang a few covers of Papa Roach’s ‘Scars’, Collective Soul’s ‘Shine’, Linkin Park’s ‘One Step Closer’, and Limp Bizkit’s phenomenal song ‘Break Stuff’.

No one was expecting to witness something like this at the event. However, when she started performing on this track, everyone was shocked. All the fan-filmed footage of her performance circulated on digital sites. And it went viral instantly. However, her act got a mixed reaction on the online platforms.
