Last night, Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, made headlines by walking the red carpet together for the first time in two years.

Since her American Idol win in 2005, Carrie Underwood has risen to the top of the country music world, becoming one of its most celebrated figures.

With seven Grammy Awards and over 85 million records sold globally, the Oklahoma-born singer is known for chart-topping hits like “Before He Cheats” and “Jesus, Take the Wheel.”

Now 42, Underwood has built an impressive empire beyond music, including her Calia fitness line, a wellness app, and a recurring spot as a judge on American Idol.


A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2008—an honor bestowed on her by Randy Travis—Underwood continues to be a powerful presence on the iconic stage. And recently, it wasn’t just her performance that had fans buzzing.

The event gathered country music’s biggest names, and Underwood delivered an emotional performance in honor of Randy Travis, singing “Three Wooden Crosses” and “Forever and Ever, Amen.”

The moment reached its peak when she handed the mic to Travis for the final “Amen,” prompting a standing ovation and heartfelt hugs on stage.


While Underwood stunned in an elegant look, it was Fisher’s rare public appearance that drew just as much attention online. Fans flooded social media with excitement:

“Hot husband of the night.”….”Her husband is so handsome, don’t see him much.”…..”I haven’t seen Mike in a while—stunning Carrie!”

Inside Carrie and Mike’s Private Life

 

The couple, who wed in 2010, first met backstage at one of Underwood’s concerts through her bassist, a mutual friend. They’ve since built a quiet life together on a farm just outside Nashville, raising their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob.

Despite their celebrity status, Underwood and Fisher have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, preferring to keep family life private. But moments like this week’s red carpet reunion remind fans why they’re still one of country music’s most beloved couples.

Mike Fisher’s Impressive NHL Career

Now 44, Mike Fisher enjoyed a standout 17-year career in the NHL, playing 1,088 games and earning 589 points (278 goals, 311 assists). He spent most of his time with the Ottawa Senators (1999–2011) before finishing his career with the Nashville Predators (2011–2018).

A two-time NHL All-Star and Selke Trophy finalist for his defensive play, Fisher became a respected leader and fan favorite. His career reached a high point in 2018 when he helped Nashville win the Stanley Cup. That same year, he retired to focus on his family.
