Carrie Underwood’s husband joins her on the red carpet for the first time in over 2 years
Carrie Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, made a rare red carpet appearance together when they attended the star-studded “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” gala March 19 at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
The “American Idol” winner-turned-judge, 42, looked radiant in a sheer black gown with metallic embellishments. She posed for photographers alongside her former NHL star husband, 44, who wore a dark suit and tie.
The couple’s appearance at the event — which was also attended by Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Post Malone, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and other A-list country music stars — marks the first time they’ve walked a red carpet together since the 2022 CMA Awards in November 2022.
Underwood and Fisher tied the knot in July 2010 and share sons Isaiah, 9, and Jacob, 6.
Underwood was one of dozens of presenters and performers at Wednesday’s three-hour concert honoring the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary, which was televised live on NBC.
The “Jesus Take the Wheel” singer pulled heartstrings when she took the stage to perform a tribute to country music legend Randy Travis, who sat in the audience’s front row.
After suffering a stroke in 2013, Travis was diagnosed with aphasia, which affects his ability to communicate.
Travis watched, beaming from his seat, as Underwood sang his songs “Three Wooden Crosses” and “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Toward the end of her performance, Underwood stepped down into the audience and handed her microphone to Travis, who sang the last “Amen” on his song.
The pair’s powerful moment inspired a standing ovation and brought many in the audience to tears.
