Carrie Underwood Just Wants to Have Fun at Her Wedding
By Tim Nudd and Jessica Herndon

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher

FacebookTwitterYahoo BuzzE-mailDon't expect Carrie Underwood to obsess over every last little detail of her wedding to hockey player Mike Fisher. She has a much simpler goal in mind.

"We have some of the big decisions made," the singer told PEOPLE at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala over the weekend. "I don't care about details. I just want to show up and have a good time!"

That's probably a good plan, given that the country superstar is also preparing to launch an extensive U.S. tour in March. "Right now I'm at the beginning of the race," she says. "I can't see the end right now, but it's really exciting. There's a lot going on."

You can also count Underwood's fellow country singers as big fans of the couple.

"They are really cute together," says Dierks Bentley, who has toured with Underwood and is also a big hockey fan. "They seem pretty devoted to each other, and they come from a good background, so I think that's the key to a good marriage."

Another pal, Miranda Lambert, says Underwood will make a wonderful wife. "Carrie is very down to earth and stable," Lambert says. "She's a great girl. She really is. I'm happy for her."

Underwood, 26, and Ottawa Senators player Fisher, 29, got engaged in December. They walked their first red carpet together in the U.S. this past week, attending a Sens Foundation fundraiser. On Saturday, Fisher flew to L.A. after a game to attend Davis's famed party with Underwood, and, of course, he accompanied his wife-to-be to the 2010 Grammy Awards as well.

They have not yet announced a date for the wedding.

Props to Carrie on her performance last night. Even though she was only part of a tribute, she was the best of the night, IMO. She looked gorgeous, too.

From Randy's official site:

Congratulations to Carrie Underwood and our very own Randy Travis on their win in the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals for "I Told You So". Party on the Ranch tonight!!!
"This is the first time that I was not able to be on hand to accept a Grammy," said Randy Travis. "If it wasn't for the weather I would have thanked all the people who voted for us. A BIG thank you to Carrie for asking me to be part of this recording. She is an amazing talent and I am honored to win this with her."
Randy was stuck at home in Santa Fe, New Mexico due to the inclement weather. This is his third GRAMMY win.

LOL, someone at Randy's website needs a fact checker: he has seven Grammys, two male vocal, three gospel, two country collab.

I wonder how many Romo questions Carrie's gonna get at the Superbowl press conference.

yes, i can see them all now: 'how does it feel to go to the superbowl first before your ex romo?'

[jeff]

It'll be funny if Fisher is there with her when she gets asked that.

She may also let slip that football is her favorite sport. lol

[Stephen]

So pumped for this era. Cloud-fucking-nine lately. So many great things. What channel/when is the press conference?

[radicaltheory]

I give in.

Carrie's voice is just superb, she's really at the top of her game right now. She can easily take this album past five singles deep, if she chooses. I enjoyed this more than her debut, even though there's a couple slips (MS, TH).

The "Temporary Home" video is on sale at iTunes!

[Stephen]

The video is beautiful. Wow. Incredible.

[realityBITES]

Here's the link:

[Typo]

OMG. Incredible.

The hospital scene is just...wow. And, I love the usage of the Taxi cab as being "temporary".

[EPG]

4 more minutes! Hurry up iTunes!

[Stephen]

Carrie's acting in TH >>>>>>>>>>> Carrie's acting in JAD

[realityBITES]

Mine is still downloading, but JAD was such a powerful song, I wish the video did the song more justice.

[Typo]

The hospital scene is literally chill inducing. Carrie and the old man portray that scene perfectly.

[fischbone]

Ummm....I'm crying like a little baby....Tremendous video. I'm very moved by it.
:'(
EDIT: She looks breathtakingly beautiful in it as well.

this!

and Carrie can sure act!

[Typo]

I like how it isn't all glossy looking like Roman's work.

[stuffy]

I liked that it included all the story lines in the song. I teared up a little at the hospital scene too.

[jeff]

im just really happy she didnt go with you know who on this video...

[realityBITES]

All of Carrie's albums are currently $7.99 on itunes!

[Typo]

I love all the symbolism with the suitcases and the taxi and maybe even the snow.

[tsharky]

It is very simple, yet beautiful. It follows the story perfectly, and I think Carrie acted very very well. I love the snowy winter scene when Carrie is the narrator, and how they intertwined all 3 stories together.

[misterscribbs]

What a great video. I'm very pleased, and I sure did cry, hah. I hope this gives the song an extra boost.

[Taylor.]

Good thing Carrie's attractive 'cuz I know if I saw some old hag staring at me from a cab I would be creeped the fuck out (the subsequent smiling wouldn't have helped).

Other than that it was a solid video. The beginning was a tad dull but it really picked up at the end. Her acting was quite good as well (much better than the JAD video).
