Underwood has readily admitted that her stage persona is a world away from her “real” self. She confessed, “I love being onstage, but that’s different. That’s not Carrie. That’s Carrie Underwood. The rest of my life I feel like I’m incredibly disappointing to people.

Like if I run into someone at the grocery store, I really don’t know what to say because I don’t have a microphone in my hand or bling on. They expect me to be ‘Carrie Underwood,’ but I’m just Carrie. I’m sorry!” (Source: BrainyQuote). This candid admission reveals a woman who, despite her success, feels the weight of expectations. While she embraces the power and excitement of performing, she craves the normalcy and comfort of everyday life, a sentiment shared by many celebrities.

The arrival of their son, Isaiah, in 2015 marked a profound shift in Carrie Underwood’s life. In a revealing interview with Redbook, she shared, “I definitely feel like it’s changed me as a person. I’m happier. I’m in a better mood a lot of the time. He’ll be watching cartoons and I’ll be watching him. I’m completely in love.
