Donnie Wahlberg Left “In Awe” By Carrie Underwood’s Performance

As a beloved boy band member, Donnie Wahlberg is all too familiar with swooning fans. As famous as he is with New Kids On The Block—and from his long-running role on Blue Bloods—the 55-year-old actor and singer isn’t beyond the same behavior when it comes to his favorite musical acts.

On Saturday, April 12, Donnie and his wife, Jenny McCarthy, attended the final show of Carrie Underwood’s Reflection Las Vegas Residency. The next day, the couple commemorated the experience on Instagram with a snap of them alongside Carrie herself.

Donnie Wahlberg knew he was going to be emotional on his last day on the Blue Bloods set, but 48 hours of tears wasn’t necessarily on his agenda.

Wahlberg, who has played Det. Danny Reagan on the CBS series since its premiere in 2010, was admittedly a puddle of tears on his final day on set of the series in June, and he told Variety that he “couldn’t turn off the tears for another probably two days” after the show wrapped.

The moment that really got him was when star Tom Selleck read a poem to the cast after they filmed their final Reagan family dinner scene — a scene that was featured in every episode of the show.
