What's it like dating an American Idol?
Canadian hockey star Mike Fisher says he and girlfriend Carrie Underwood "always find a way to make it work" despite their hectic schedules in a video interview with NHL Online.

"It's been good!" Fisher, 29, says. The Ottawa Senators player and the country star, 26, "met at a concert in Toronto about a year ago, in October," through a "friend of a friend," he explains.
His favorite song from Underwood's catalog? A track from her new album Play On (out Nov. 3) called "Temporary Home." "I like it when she sings a good rock song."

The results are less successful when the athlete takes the mike. "I try to sing some of her songs, [and] she just laughs!" he jokes. When pressed to choose an Underwood song he'd sing for her, he quips, "'Before He Cheats,' maybe!"

But Fisher has high praise for his girlfriend's work ethic -- and her talent. "She doesn't get too many days off -- a lot less days off than I get," he notes. "She's always going. She's talented and she's getting rewarded for it. That's good to see."

28Oh my gosh I cant believe im gong to her consert its gonna be better than the Taylor swift consert!
Carrie Underwood is the best out there. She has everything. Gorgeous, underrated talent and has a wonderful personality. Also, can we get less Taylor Swift. I'm so sick of her. She didn't deserve the awards she received. No where close to deserving them.
She is beautiful and extremely talented and Mike is smokin hot!!!!
dude she has no bad pics!! this pic is so pretty! she can wake up from a rough night and still take a good picture
Eww she looks like a TRANNY !!!
What a sweet artcle...Carrie is so deserving of everything she's accomplished, and a good guy!!

She's young, hopefully dates a few more, before settling down.
awww they are so cute together! they totally match...i don't think they are that opposite... TEMPORARY HOME IS NOT A ROCK SONG.
for some reason i really dont lik her maybe its the floozie namee
If you don't care PJ, then why in the heck did you take the time to post a message? LOVE Carrie!!
Can't wait for the album on Nov. 3 - Play On!
Isn't it funny? You say who cares and yet you care enough to read the story and care enough to say who cares? What bull! Carrie and Mike, you rock!
GO SENS GO!
Carrie is so beautiful and sweet! love her! Mike Fisher is also a great guys!
Carrie is way too manufactured. She needs a new stylist. And while she's at it can she get someone to pull that 80's midwestern look off of Taylor swift too.
Mike is everything a girl could want and more! Carrie is an absolute doll. Love her. Tony Romo is a cowboy casanova. Yuck. Run.
UsWeekly...Can you please remove Leanne Rimes pug dog face from the front photo page. Everyone's eyes will thank you.
She has an amazingly beautiful voice. When she sang one of Randy Travis' songs, it was very emotional and heartfelt. She is a true talent.
Carrie is awesome.
