Carrie Underwood, the American Idol judge, graced the rink alongside her husband, Mike Fisher, in a rare joint appearance to root for the Nashville Predators as they took on the Montreal Canadiens at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on March 28th. The couple posed inside the arena, with Carrie, 43, showcasing her support for Mike’s former NHL team by wearing a yellow Predators jersey adorned with the number 12—the retired hockey star’s playing number. The photo was shared on the team’s Instagram page, while Mike, 45, held up a miniature bobblehead figurine depicting himself and his wife in matching jerseys.
The duo, who tied the knot in 2010, seemed to be enjoying their date night out. Recently, Carrie raved about life on the sprawling Tennessee farm she shares with Mike and their sons, Isaiah, 11, and Jacob, 7. She noted that their rural lifestyle was a welcome relief from her professional commitments in Los Angeles.
“I went from living on a farm to being on stage in front of a ton of people and traveling, with a different city every day,” she said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Front Row on March 26th. “I quickly learned that this is not real life.”
The “Blown Away” singer emphasized that her success in the music industry has been “so wonderful,” but stressed that “the world that takes you to is just not real.”
“It’s important for me that home is completely different from this,” she continued. “We have definitely established that. My kids see me. We get up, take them to school, make breakfast, pack lunches.”
And the Grammy winner’s hands-on approach to parenting extends to the family’s evening routine. “We eat dinner at least five nights a week at the dinner table, and it’s something I cooked,” she shared, adding, “I don’t know if it’s good or not, but we ain’t starving.”
