On her Tennessee farm, Carrie Underwood is often covered in dirt — and proud of it. She told a daytime TV show she keeps work and family separate while raising sons Isaiah and Jacob, describing chores, canning, hunting-based meals and a hands-on parenting style that minimizes celebrity at home.
Home and stage: two different people
Carrie Underwood, country singer and former "American Idol" winner, told hosts on a daytime TV show she draws a firm line between work and family. "I don't bring work home with me," she said, describing herself as one person onstage and another at the farm. Underwood says her sons see her perform, but at home she's the parent doing day-to-day tasks.
She described being frequently "covered in dirt" or "covered in poop" while caring for animals — images she wants her children to remember: a mom who cooks, tends animals and knows where food comes from.
Daily life on the farm
The family routines center on seasonal work and practical skills. Underwood says the household emphasizes self-reliance; examples she listed include:
- Raising livestock and caring for animals
- Growing fruits and vegetables and preserving produce through canning
- Meals often made from game hunted by her husband, Mike Fisher
- Crafts and household skills such as crocheting
She described meals and routines as seasonal and mainly sourced from their own land.
Parenting choices and her sons
The family includes two boys, Isaiah and Jacob. Underwood has said Isaiah shows musical talent and shares interests with her, like a love of "Star Trek." She has said she would not rush him into a high-profile talent contest, preferring he be older and more grounded first.
Children on the working farm help with chores and are exposed to the food cycle, animals and routine tasks that carry immediate consequences. At the same time, Underwood remains an active performer who tours and serves as a judge on a televised competition series; she treats those roles as separate.
From publicity to rumors
Public life brings extra attention. A viral claim circulated online about labor at her farm; independent fact-checking did not find concrete evidence to support the assertion. Outlets noted a gap between the viral social posts and independent reporting.
