Carrie Underwood has a fan that’s been by her side since childhood — and no, she’s not talking about her mom or dad.
On her Instagram Stories, Underwood posted a photo of her ’80s-era, oscillating Galaxy electric fan. It’s an appliance she had since she was a kid, and it’s still working today, four decades later.
Not everybody’s got a fan like Underwood’s, but a lot of listeners can probably relate to the sentiment of why she loves the object so much.
It’s a vintage, quality-made item that was built to last for life. Many people feel like that’s an increasingly rare quality, and that today’s appliances are often more disposable and flimsily built.

“Modern crap made today: Broken and useless in two weeks,” Underwood wrote alongside the photo of the fan.
“This fan from my ’80s childhood: Will be passed down one day to my grandchildren,” the singer continued, along with the hashtag, “#StillWorks.”
