County star Carrie Underwood reveals what she loves about farm life
Music star Carrie Underwood has opened up about her life on a farm.
Carrie Underwood loves the "challenge" of living on a farm.
The 43-year-old country music star moved to a 400-acre farm in 2019 with husband Mike Fisher and their two sons - Isaiah, 11, and Jacob, seven - and Carrie admits that there are pros and cons to living on a farm.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Carrie said: "My goal is to just do as much as I can myself. I love it. It's a challenge, and it's frustrating, and it's exciting, and it's rewarding, and just all the things."
Carrie said her life as an American Idol judge and country star is the "polar opposite" of her life at home on the farm.
Carrie said: "I go home, and I had to have talks with my family at one point, because I was like, 'OK, when I'm away, I'm like, Cinderella at the ball.' I'm a princess, and it's great. And then I come home, and I'm like, covered in dirt. 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."
Meanwhile, Carrie recently claimed that "faith" is the "only" way to stay grounded.
The Before He Cheats hitmaker thinks it is easy to get swept away by the "self-serving" entertainment business - but her Christian beliefs remind her about what matters.
Carrie told Fox News Digital: "Faith is the thing that can keep you grounded. When you're in the entertainment industry, there's a lot of things that, and I've said this before, it's just not real life. You can get caught up in a lot.
"You're kind of in a self-serving business. Everybody around you is there to make sure you're good, and you're happy, and you have everything you need, and I feel like you can start to… you can lose your roots real fast, you know. So I think faith is the only way to keep you grounded."
The American Idol judge praised the talent show for having a faith-themed week and giving contestants a space to express their own beliefs.
Carrie said: "I think it's for me personally being here on our songs of faith night. It was just joyful, you know, it was happy."
