Carrie Underwood On 'Granny Hobbies' and Loving Mundane Chores
In a recent interview, carrie underwood said she prefers the routines of home life—cleaning toilets, gardening and doing laundry—over the glamor of entertainment, framing those tasks as the reality she loves while she continues a public creative life. The comments come as she balances judging a singing competition, family life and a handful of scattered live appearances planned across the season.
Carrie Underwood Embraces Mundane Tasks
The singer described the entertainment world as separate from everyday life and said that for her, "reality is vacuuming and cleaning toilets and doing laundry and gardening and cooking. " She framed those chores not as chores alone but as anchors: activities that keep daily life steady amid public duties. That stance is positioned as part of how she remains rooted while working in the public eye.
Granny Hobbies and Homemade Projects
Alongside household tasks, she shared a list of what she called "granny hobbies" that occupy her time: crocheting, bird-watching, maintaining sourdough and making kombucha, growing hot peppers and fermenting her own hot sauce. She has also spent time canning preserves and showed off crocheted clothing she made, once wearing a handmade tomato-top to the set of the singing competition. These activities were presented as both creative outlets and practical ways to provide for her family.
Family Life, Animals and Appearance Plans
Her focus on home extends to family and small-scale farming: she is raising chickens and sheep on a property outside of Nashville, and the household includes two boys, Isaiah, 10, and Jake, 7, and her husband, a former professional hockey player. She said this domestic life helps keep things feeling normal. Musically, she has not booked a full tour this year but has scattered live dates planned, listed as two in June (one of which is a final-show performance in Nashville for a fellow artist), two in August and one in September at a festival in Iowa. Her last full studio release was named Denim & Rhinestones in 2022.
- Key takeaways: she values ordinary chores, pursues hands-on hobbies, and is balancing selective live appearances with family life.
Analysis and forward look: observable indicators in the interview and the scheduled appearances point to a deliberate trade-off between large-scale touring and home-centered activities. If she continues prioritizing household projects and limited live engagements, a return to a full tour appears unlikely in the near term unless her public schedule shifts. Any change would be signaled by additions to her live calendar or a formal tour announcement.
