Carrie Underwood feels like 'Cinderella at the ball', but why?
County music star Carrie Underwood has opened up about her home life.
Carrie Underwood is often "covered in dirt [and] poop" when she's at home on her farm.
The 43-year-old country music star is made to feel like "Cinderella at the ball" when she's working - but Carrie admits that her home life is dramatically different.
She told Us Weekly: "When I'm away [for work], I'm like Cinderella at the ball. I'm a princess, and it's great.
"And then I come home, and I'm covered in dirt [and] poop. It's just the polar opposite. I'm cleaning up after everybody and barefoot in the kitchen."
Carrie - who lives on a 400-acre farm in Franklin, Tennessee - added: "I wouldn't have it any other way."
The singer - who has sons Isaiah, 11, and Jacob, seven, with husband Mike Fisher - admits that farm life is full of challenges, but she still relishes the experiences.
She said: "My goal is to do as much as I can myself. It's a challenge, and it's frustrating, and it's exciting and it's rewarding and just all the things."
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."
