Carrots are biennial. If you planted seeds this year and are seeing something put on flower buds, it's likely a weed rather than a tall carrot.
My upload failed without me realizing, here is a link, https://imgur.com/a/qzOZ1OR But there is a thin carrot in the ground attached to it... so I think it is the carrot I planted there.
Carrots, onions, and other biannial plants will sometimes behave as an annual. It's usually caused by a genetic mutant but it can be environmentally triggered.
In the wild they naturally are a mixed of annual and biannual plants depending on the growing conditions.
The leaves look right for a carrot. I would let it grow and see what you get from it in the fall.
