Tears and Joy: Carrie Underwood Reveals She’s Expecting a Baby Girl
Grammy-winning country music superstar Carrie Underwood has stunned fans and media alike with a heartwarming revelation: her third child is a girl. The gender reveal, held in a private, intimate setting at her Tennessee farm surrounded by close family and friends, lit up the night sky with pink fireworks, signaling a joyous new chapter in the singer’s life.
A Night to Remember
Carrie and her husband – retired NHL player Mike Fisher – kept the event under wraps, inviting guests to what was simply described as a “private dinner at the farm.” No one expected what would unfold.
Hints began to emerge as guests arrived and were greeted by a path lined with soft pink lanterns. Subtle clues like the floral cake topped with baby’s breath, pink lace table runners, and a soundtrack of Martina McBride’s classics set the tone for something magical.
After a cozy, plant-based dinner – one of Carrie’s personal favorites – the couple led their guests to the backyard. There, a fairy tale-like setup awaited: twinkling lights, glowing candles, and at the center, a giant white gift box with the glittering words “BOY OR GIRL?”
Mike opened the lid, while Carrie held their two sons – Isaiah (9) and Jacob (6) – close. As pink balloons and confetti burst into the air, the entire family embraced, overcome with emotion.
A Mix of Tears and Laughter
Carrie couldn’t hold back the tears. She cried as she hugged Mike and whispered, “A girl… finally.” After raising two boys, the thought of having a daughter felt almost surreal.
“I’m still in shock. Truly,” Carrie said in a video later posted to Instagram. “I thought I’d be a ‘boy mom’ forever. But when I saw that pink flying into the air… my heart just burst.”
Mike knelt down to hug their sons and said, “You’re going to have a baby sister. Take good care of her, okay?”
From Heartache to Healing
Carrie has spoken openly about her struggles with pregnancy. Between Isaiah and Jacob, she suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages. In a raw 2018 interview, she shared how those losses devastated her emotionally and spiritually.
That’s why this third pregnancy – and the fact that it’s a girl – feels like a precious gift. “Every single day, I thank God for this little miracle,” she said through tears.
Pink Fireworks Light Up the Tennessee Sky
The highlight of the evening was a breathtaking display of pink fireworks that lit up the sky for nearly five minutes. The show, launched from a nearby hill, played in sync with Carrie’s own song “All-American Girl” – a fitting choice that brought guests to their feet.
“This was hands down the most beautiful gender reveal I’ve ever seen,” said fellow country star Reba McEntire, one of the special guests in attendance. Others like Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban joined the celebration as the night sky sparkled pink.
“She’s waited so long for this moment. We’re all crying with her,” Reba added.
Internet Reacts: “Carrie’s Princess is Coming!”
Moments after Carrie posted the video with the caption “God’s little surprise – She’s coming 💕”, social media went wild. Fans flooded her posts with love, support, and joyful emojis.
One fan commented: “Carrie finally gets her princess! I’m crying with her 😭💖.”
Another wrote: “If this isn’t the most magical gender reveal of the year, I don’t know what is.”
On TikTok, the hashtag #CarrieUnderwoodBabyGirl soared to the top of the trending list within hours.
Carrie: “I didn’t think I’d start over again… but now I can’t wait”
In a livestream following the event, Carrie opened up about how unexpected this pregnancy was. “We were settling into life with two older boys. I was just getting back into the studio for the next album,” she shared. “But then this news came… and everything changed. I didn’t think I’d start over again… but now I can’t wait. This little girl will be so loved.”
Mike echoed the sentiment: “I always thought I was made to raise boys. But now I’m ready to learn how to braid hair, play tea party, whatever it takes.”
What’s Next for Carrie?
Although she’s pregnant, Carrie said she’s continuing to work on her upcoming studio album, scheduled for release in early 2026. She even hinted that a few songs on the album will be inspired by her daughter.
“When I found out it was a girl, I immediately started writing lyrics,” Carrie shared. “There’s something different this time. Deeper. I think this will be my most personal album yet.”
She also confirmed she’ll be stepping away from touring for at least a year after the birth to focus entirely on motherhood. “I don’t want to miss a single moment with this little angel.”
A Radiant New Chapter Begins
Carrie Underwood has always captivated millions with her powerful vocals and heartfelt storytelling. But the image of her crying under the stars, arms wrapped around her husband and sons as pink fireworks filled the sky, may just be the most beautiful story she’s ever told.
