Carrie Underwood: Fame, Family and Secret Struggles at the Cost of A-List Stardom

Carrie Underwood is an A-list country star, though she has faced struggles that changed her life in a ‘blink of an eye,’ a source exclusively tells Life & Style.

While taking her dogs out, Carrie Underwood tripped and fell on the steps outside her home nearly seven years ago, sustaining injuries so “gruesome,” she later said, she needed more than 40 stitches in her face as well as surgery to place a plate and pins in her mangled wrist. And Carrie was also secretly struggling to cope as she suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages in two years, later confessing that when she finally talked about it in 2018, it felt like a “weight lifted off my shoulders.” For all her fame and success, the private challenges threatened to break the eight-time Grammy winner. They were often leading separate lives, with the American Idol alum focused on motherhood, recording and touring and Mike busy traveling, hunting or working on the Catchin’ Deers apparel line he started with some friends.
