I need you to help me get it and he's like what are you gonna do with it and I was like
I'm gonna take it to the wildlife like rehab place he's like they're not gonna take it
I was like I donate money to them every single year they're going to take miles
absolute Radio country everybody's so excited for this even Security on the
front door was excited for this and there's a lot of stars that come through these doors it's
the multi-million selling multi-grammy CMA ACM award-winning Carrie Underwood hi Carrie yeah
how's it going how are you feeling because you just arrived yes I'm good I'm good when
I'm moving when I'm doing things I'm good it's when I sit down that the jet lag oh should we do
this stamina I'm a monster no we could we can do aerobics while we do this so that's that's
interesting so that will keep me awake incredible new album Denim and rhinestones is out now we love
it we loved it even before we heard it because Denim and rhinestones it's some like instantly
you've got a picture in your head you know what it's going to be yeah it's what I do you know
um I feel like you know throughout country music there's just this really great
um history of just that you know we like our bling we like our Fringe we like these things
um but also just as a feeling for the album as a whole um there's just something nice about it it's
when you get get a picture in your head it's like you think of denim you think of something that's
like stands the test of time and is reliable and it feels good and then all the little sprinkles
on top yeah and also you know it's great because you know if you're invited to a party and you're
like is this a casual party am I dressing up for this party like if you're coming to see Carrie
Underwood or you're listening to this album you're like both I know what I'm wearing I know and I I
love seeing already like fans have been showing up to things like dress the part and I love it and
it's like it's become like a thing it's like we're gonna we have our outfit for you know this event
um CMA Music Fest I know you were just in Asheville for that like people were just
ready for it just for it and you on that stage in the stadium just absolutely bringing it home you
know it's always interesting as a fan when when I'm watching Someone Like You on that stage with
you know 50 000 people there um and somehow you still make it feel so intimate and kind of have
everybody in the in the palm of your hand and how does it feel on the other side like when you're up
there because it must be too many people to kind of take in yeah I mean you know that they're back
there and in that in that scenario you can you can still see a lot of people you can see where
they end um in some like Festival settings and stuff like that you just have no idea it's like
the people just go on forever um but it's it's a lot of fun being on my end I'm just I don't I
try not to think too much about all the people that are out there looking at me or else I feel
like I'd get really self-conscious um but I just I just have fun speaking of festivals
Glastonbury you played yes today we were looking it came up on my memories on my phone so it was
three three years ago today correct yeah and we just had Glastonbury here last week I'll
tell you what that thing on your phone the the memories it's a great thing slash sometimes uh
oh has it been that long you know when those memories pictures of my kids and I'm just like
growing up so fast time ago what was it like playing glaspberry and did you know kind of
the The Legend of Glastonbury before you did it definitely knew the The Legend and especially
um you know talking about it um with with my people it's just like wow this is you know I've
played a lot of festivals and this one's special um but it was it was a lot of fun the crowd was
great it was it was good Janet Jackson blew me a kiss oh yeah she did that's a highlight I know I
know I didn't think she was I was like looking around to see like who she because we wanted to
stay and watch her play yeah did you catch it or did you blow it back I I kind of froze and
um my friend was with me like blow one back I was like I froze I froze like the moments passed and
that would be weird if I'm just over there like waving at her or something like a weirdo um yeah
you have to make sure she's actually doing it to you right it needed to happen like immediately and
I just wasn't that quick or smooth I was looking around me to see who she was talking to Oh see
it's good to know that you have those moments as well because we all have those moments we were
like oh I really messed that up awkward I'm so I'm awkward are you live yes it's funny isn't it
because I think a lot of people in your position everybody assumes like they're super outgoing and
and you know all that but I I recently I think you were talking about the fact that if it wasn't
for your husband you would just be quite happy to stay inside yeah I don't I don't go places
um on my own if it's left up to me and my devices I would I would just be like a little Homesteader
and just stay home and do nothing I shouldn't say do nothing I'm actually very busy when I'm
at home but it's it's chores I'm doing chores do you like doing I like it it's quite meditative yes
um yeah I love to Garden we have chickens um I'm always cleaning something or laundering
something I have two two messy boys um and one for some reason likes to wardrobe change people
wear three or four outfits in a day I don't know I wonder where he got that from Cameron I know right
where are your pants buddy what did you do with them I'm glad you brought up gardening actually
because um a listener Tom and Amesbury uh and I don't know how they knew you were coming in
because we didn't tell anybody but people find these things out they know things they know things
um he said can you please ask Carrie about gardening because she's really good at it
I'm not really I'm learning okay I'm learning so I I we started it I think in 2019 and then
um somebody I was gone a lot we were on tour um and somebody else kind of handled things for me
um and then in 2020 I was like what else am I gonna do I I'm gonna get in there so I made it
a mission over the last couple years to work on things and I've screwed up a whole lot but it's
like I feel like I'm I'm always learning and things are just they get better and better see
the next time you come in we might have like a Gardener's question time with Carrie Underwood
oh I've got I've got you know an insect problem on my cucumbers yeah okay how do we fix that you know
we'll do that next time we won't put you on the spot now I bet it's quite different here though
as far as the things you can grow and um yeah the weather for sure yeah we'll find out next
time we'll find out on Garden time with Carrie Underwood here on absolute Radio country I've also
seen on your Instagram I mean your backyard is pretty much a mini safari park at this point right
like so you had to get a snake out of your we live in the country yeah okay we live we live out
in the woods or not woods but in the country but there was an armadillo involved as well yeah it's
so I will help anything I'm that person that'll like stop and help a turtle cross the road I'm
like turtles that's the one animal I don't like why they freak me out I don't like them they're
so do you know what freaks me out about them they get so old like they go on for like hundreds of
years they do get old yeah it's like like I don't know life lesson yeah things get old if it happens
um no I don't know they just word me out but yeah we had an armadillo something was clear
clearly wrong with it it should not have been up by our house in the middle of the
day I'm like this thing is probably rabid I don't know I call my husband who was on the
tractor I'm making us sound super fancy right now I'm loving all this he's on the tractor
um I think he was cutting hay and uh I I was like hey there's an armadillo up by the house
and he was like I'll come take care of it I knew what those words meant and I was like
I don't want you to kill it I need you to help me get it and he's like what are you gonna do
with it and I was like I'm gonna take it to the wildlife like rehab place he's like they're not
gonna take it I was like I donate money to them every single year they're going to take them
um I'm not I'm not in any trouble I've only taken one bird there once they're like oh Lord Here
Comes Carrie Underwood again they were they were very nice and very willing to help but I was like
I don't even know why I called you like click hang up my dad and I was like can an armadillo bite me
and he said no I've never I've seen them but who has to mess with one he was like no I said can it
hurt me and he he was like well they have claws but I don't really know if they use them to like
hurt but he might like latch onto you or something I was like if I grab it from behind is it gonna
be okay am I gonna be okay and he was like should be and he's like but they're real gross and I was
like I know I know so I got gloves and got it out it it sadly did not make it oh I think it
had some head trauma um I thought you were gonna say it's now called Janus and it has a Denim and
rhinestone jacket that lives in the den no I named him pickles oh pickle yeah I mean we have so when
you come back not only gardening hour but we're doing Wildlife Safari time I'm sure I'll have
more more uh um things to more Tales to tell from Carrie Underwood we love you here in the UK and
um obviously you know you're a global Superstar and was that always kind of part of the plan was
there a plan or was it kind of like the awards and numbers where you're like I'm just going to
do my thing and see what shakes out of this tree yeah I think the latter I think um you know it's
definitely I feel like there's been more of a swell over the since I've definitely been
um a part of this I feel like there's been more of a push to kind of take country music
um outside of the US more which is really cool to watch and you know now just with technology
it's just easier than ever to find everybody can access it quite quickly yeah which is
probably the biggest contributing factor um but it's it's been a lot of fun to be able to come
over and you know meet meet people and play fun festivals and do some concerts and things so I
think the last time you ever we talked about Glastonbury and I think that was cry pretty
um so any plans and anything that we can let the people then on that you'll come back for a proper
tour or anything in that I mean I don't have any Bombshells to be dropping today but that's all
that's all exclusive no Bombshells to be dropped by Carrie Underwood today that would be great
um because the the fans here have always been really great to me so hopefully we can come back
it'll happen I'm sure properly I think I think the biggest part of it um in like planning everything
out for this album was just not really having an idea where the world was going to be you know
yeah of course so it's like when we were making this album and writing for it and recording and
stuff it was like well let's let's write songs that like I want to I want there to be a tour
but at the time we just didn't know if that was gonna happen or be possible or whatever so we
tried to write music that would work well in a tour setting um because I was like I feel like
hopefully maybe fingers crossed but definitely kind of leaves a lot of things up in the air
when you can't really firm family plan everything the way you want to although Las Vegas you had you
had two Las Vegas residencies right it's kind of uh you did yes thing so we'll be back we're we're
taking a little bit of a Hiatus to go on tour um but we'll be back next year so it's it's um it's a
lot of fun those must be because I went after CMA Fest I went to Vegas for an Elvis wedding oh nice
um and I saw Luke Bryan while I was there and I think it's the same theater I'm just kidding but
I was gutted that you weren't there so I mean it just must be because you can literally just throw
it all at that show oh yeah I mean there's there's a there's so many great things obviously about
like going on a traditional tour um Arena tour but you know being in a theater you're in one place
um you can kind of do some things like all we don't have to pack up everything after every
show so we can kind of do some bigger things that you know can live there at the theater
um we have like some aerial lists and things like that because we wanted to make fire yes
fire water and everything all of it and do you like Vegas as a city because it's so crazy I do
I do but we don't do what most people do when they come to Vegas yeah you're not sitting in
front of a slot machine right well we're not like partying you know um but we it's just wonderful
restaurants and obviously lots of shows to see and uh I'm when I go I'm away from my family for
a couple weeks so we usually just try to work as much as so did they not come with you they might
come like at the end and then fly home with me just for a few days but it's a lot yeah of
course when your kids are little I mean it's a different kind of challenge we went on the
cry pretty tour when my youngest son was three months old so that's when we started touring wow
um so that was like its own challenges but they're so much more portable and now that
like my oldest son's seven and he's like what do we do like he can't sit in a he can't be
content in a hotel room right like he was when he was yeah and one of them like needs multiple
costume changes every day so that's a lot of packs like wardrobe um so Carrie I took one of
