Carrie Underwood knows how to get press coverage. She’s shown that over the past few months as she’s gradually revealed the facial scars she was left with after her accident in November and the story of how she fell, broke her wrist and split her lip open. So her latest Instagram Story video, in which she looks directly at the camera, is not random. She’s deliberately showing her face close up. This has been the constant narrative in coverage about Carrie, so she knows what she’s doing.
Carrie posted a video where her husband, Mike Fisher, is driving and making turkey calls. She doesn’t say anything and there’s text that says “Must we? So. Annoying.” At the end she mouths “help.” I live in the south, in the country where we often spot wild turkeys. I’ve seen flocks of 30 and up, but usually you just see one or two together. Many people think that turkeys just make gobble noises but they also make sounds like this. (Here’s a video where a guy makes similar turkey calls, that’s at about 1:03.) Access Hollywood says in the video below that Mike is making “annoying squeaking sounds,” US Weekly calls them “peculiar noises,” and People calls it “a squeaking noise.” They’re turkey calls! Plus Mike has called to wild turkeys with this same noise before.
This is the best video I could find of it and there’s a lot of filler from Access Hollywood in the middle. The video is shown at the beginning and the end.
At first, just reading the coverage without seeing the video. I was thinking “oh she’s mocking him, their marriage is in trouble,” but this looks more like one of those moments where your spouse is being annoying but you still find it cute and want to share. Plus maybe she’s seeing which outlets can actually identify turkey calls, with the answer being not many.
US had more details from Carrie’s second interview after her accident which I didn’t listen to in full, where she talked to Storme Warren on Sirius XM’s The Highway. When asked if Mike helped after her accident, she said “He’s all right [as a nurse]. I mean, I’m really terrible at letting anybody help me with anything, to be honest. I’m probably not a very good patient because I’m like, ‘I can do it. I’m not completely broken. I can do this.’” I can relate to that and I definitely see that tendency in her. You want to get sh-t done on your own.

SHE.
LOOKS.
FINE.
It is annoying in a car, or anywhere else. My husband does it too! She’s a for real woman!
Wow, she’s really going to milk this for all that she can. I’ve heard more about Carrie in the last few weeks than in her entire career.
It’s well known around where I live that she’s a nightmare to work with. A guy I know that works in radio said she was the rudest person he’s ever interviewed so that’s all I think of when I see.
I live in Nashville and I only hear bad stories about her as well. I heard one where she went off on a guy filling a lobster tank, screaming at him about how evil he was.
Lainey gossip has lots of stories about how nasty she is.
Geez, she is in PR overdrive lately, no?
Must we talk about Carrie Underwood? So. Annoying.
Came here to say exactly this. She is selling something hard – I’m just not exactly sure what it is.
Holy Brows. She is way to young to be wearing so.much.makeup.
She should go to a veteran’s hospital or a burn unit. Maybe then she will understand how ridiculous she is.
Wow. Makeup overload to go on a turkey call. She is starting to annoy even her fans with all this drama about her face. I dont like her and never have. She thinks too highly of herself
I think their marriage probably hit a rocky spot after he retired. My FIL drove my MIL nuts after he retired. Because he was around All. the, time. It is a challenging time for anyone but especially for a professional hockey player. From the time he was 14 or 15 years old, someone has told him when to eat, when to sleep, where to be and what to do at any given hour of the day. It is a very regimented life. So to have total freedom can be overwhelming. Plus he would have been around all the time which would be difficult when you are used to having some space. I suspect things are better now he has returned to work.
She looks weird…..like she’s standing in front of a mirror in a funhouse. Needs to let her hair down or something. She should be grateful for everything she has. The girl is rich and famous because she won a talent show on television, think about that one.
Hi Nancy!
Go Cavs!
BYE Carrie!
I’ve been more than sick of Carrie and her scar drama but this is funny and this is for sure a couple thing. No one could possibly say that their spouse is so perfect, nothing about them is ever annoying. LOL! And if they do, I’m scared. This is pretty funny actually.
She can post as many pictures or videos as she wants, but I still don’t see anything. Not one scar or smudge or scratch. I’m not saying she’s lying, but she sure did exaggerate things.
I swear…ever since she revealed her face….1) I see no scars 2) it looks more like she had her lips done like a Kardashian than a face injury….
Is it just me?? Or anyone else feeling like that may be what’s happened??
