Carrie Underwood’s Husband Mike Fisher ‘Didn’t Want Her’ to Do ‘American Idol’: Why He’s ‘Concerned’


Carrie Underwood is feeling the pressure as American Idol’s new judge and a source exclusively tells Life & Style that her husband, Mike Fisher, is concerned.

Following the August 1 announcement that Carrie Underwood would be taking Katy Perry’s seat as a judge on American Idol, the “Before He Cheats” singer, 41, confessed she had “a big problem.” The family is based in Franklin, Tennessee, and Mike and the children were already struggling with Carrie’s absence whenever she was gone for her Las Vegas residency, Reflection. “Mike didn’t want her to do Idol initially, but she insisted, and the paycheck is substantial,” says the insider of the estimated $25M the country star will earn per season.
