Carrie Underwood Reveals How Faith and Family Keep Her Grounded: Inside Her ‘Ordinary’ Life

Carrie Underwood is a bonafide country star, but she leans on her faith and family to keep her grounded. Inside the American Idol winner’s ‘ordinary’ life.

“When you have an epic residency in fabulous Las Vegas, but you’re kind of a nerd, you go to Ace Hardware on your day off to buy canning supplies,” she shared on Instagram on May 23. Carrie may have expe­rienced wild success and fame with 85 million records sold and eight Gram­my wins, but her “life away from the stage is extraor­dinarily] ordinary,” insists the Tennessee-based sing­er, who shares sons Isaiah, 8, and Jacob, 4, with re­tired hockey player Mike Fisher, 44. “Mike and I do all we can to raise our two boys with values like the ones I grew up with,” in­cluding “church on Sun­days,” she’s said, adding that at bedtime, they “pray out loud … just talk­ing to God, letting [our sons] know he hears their every word.”
