Luke Bryan was a recent guest on Taste of Country Nights where he revealed what he’s learned as he’s gotten to know Carrie Underwood on American Idol.
He’s even learned some fun details about her family life when the cameras weren’t rolling during Season 23.
Bryan said, “I really enjoyed getting to know Carrie as a wife and a mother and who she is.”
He continued spewing love Underwood’s way.
“I really appreciate her as a human being and an artist and a mother….she’s just a pro in music and in life,” he added. “We had a great time getting to work with each other on Idol.”
He’s even gotten to know her husband, former NHL player Mike Fisher.
“Me and [my wife] Caroline and Mike and Carrie, you know, we’re not having cookouts or anything,” he says, “…but me and Mike, we actually get to fish and golf and do some hunting together.”
Bryan also shared how impressed he is that Underwood is able to keep her family and personal life private, and separate from her busy work life as a successful touring star.
“What I’m not really good at, Carrie is,” the “One Margarita” star says.
“Carrie is really good at being private in a lot of ways. I’m not. I mean I kinda throw it out all out there for the world,” he jokes.

Carrie Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, owned a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-half-bathroom home in an affluent Nashville suburb called Brentwood. The 7,000-square-foot mansion features a wet bar, fitness center and tennis court, as well as a four-car garage, walk-out basement with heated marble floors and extra appliances, including a sub-zero fridge and wine fridge. That house is where Underwood suffered a devastating fall in 2017.
The couple sold the luxurious home for $1,410,000 in March of 2019, after they moved into the massive dream home that they had spent several years building from scratch.
