Carrie Underwood is giving her fans a glimpse inside the 400-acre farm in Franklin, Tennessee, where she lives with her family.
The country crooner, 43, opened up about her 'traditional' marriage with Mike Fisher and the Tennessee farm – which is located just outside Nashville – that they share together.
An insider also shed insight about her 'real life' outside of Hollywood in her Us Weekly cover story, published on Wednesday.
The mother of two shared a glimpse at her 'grounded' life and her marriage as an example of a 'very traditional couple living a not-so-traditional life.'
The insight comes as the singer – who won American Idol nearly 21 years ago and returned to the long-running series as a judge in March 2025 – has repeatedly faced criticism from fans of the show.
Underwood married her hockey player husband at the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Georgia in July 2010, almost a decade before they started living the farm life together in Tennessee.

Underwood and the NHL player share sons Isaiah Michael Fisher, 11, and Jacob Bryan Fisher, seven.
The couple have been raising the two boys on their sprawling farm since leaving Hollywood in 2019.
Underwood and her husband purchased the property in 2011 for a reported $3 million sum, and they finished remodeling their 'forever home' around 2018.
In her recent interview, the singer shared tidbits about how her family raises horses and chickens on the farm.
And across the many acres of the property, Underwood and her family built barns, as well as gardens where she can flex her green thumb by growing carrots and beets.
'When I'm away [for work], I'm like Cinderella at the ball,' she said as she told the outlet about the juxtaposition of her entertainment career in the city and her 'grounded' life at home.
'I'm a princess, and it's great. And then I come home, and I'm covered in dirt [and] poop,' she shared. 'It's just the polar opposite.'
She continued: 'I'm cleaning up after everybody and barefoot in the kitchen. I wouldn't have it any other way.'

'As supportive as he is of her career, he's a guy who wants normalcy,' the insider said. 'They are a very traditional couple living a not-so-traditional life.'
'On paper, they're not very similar, but they share their faith and have always put that first,' the source added about the couple's marriage.
The outlet also noted that one of their differences is that Underwood loves animals and is a vegetarian, while her husband treats hunting and fishing 'like a full-time job' that she 'puts up with.'

Is Carrie Underwood’s rural, self-sufficient lifestyle the key to real happiness and family values?
'If I had all the time in the world, I would not really need to go to the grocery store for too much,' Underwood told Fox News Digital about living a 'self-sustained' life at home with her husband and kids.
'It's a lot of fun. We have cows, we have sheep, we have donkeys. We have horses. I have my garden, and it's a great way to connect with the earth,' she said.
'That's my contribution to the family.'
The insider also said: 'When she isn't working, Carrie loves spending time with her boys and being outdoors.'
'When they’re in Tennessee, it's the typical lifestyle of a family with young kids,' the source added.
And in addition to tending to her farm, Underwood often 'works out with her trainer at home' and 'loves to run outside' on the property.
