Before Carrie Underwood became a multiple-platinum-selling artist, she lived on a farm in Oklahoma with her family. She auditioned for American Idol in St. Louis, Missouri, in August of 2004, and that was the moment that changed her life and country music forever. In 2019, Carrie and her husband, Mike Fisher, purchased a 400-acre farm outside Nashville, and Carrie’s getting back to the country girl she’s always been. Carrie and Mike are raising their boys, Isaiah and Jacob, just the way they dreamed.

I’m covered in poop. It’s just the polar opposite. I’m like, cleaning up after everybody and barefoot in the kitchen. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Carrie Underwood believes that if she didn’t have the life of a jet-setting star, she could live very comfortably on her farm. “I think if I had to, I could be self-sustained at home. I love growing things,” Carrie once told Fox News Digital. “If I had all the time in the world, I would … not really need to go to the grocery store for too much. But it’s a lot of fun. You know, I love our chickens. We have cows, we have sheep, we have donkeys. We have horses. I have my garden, and it’s a great way to connect with the earth. That’s my contribution to the family.” This story’s featured image is by Steve Eichner/WWD/Penske Media via Getty Images
