Carrie Underwood covers the new issue of Shape. It’s been almost eight months since she had her first child, son Isaiah, with her husband of five years, Mike Fisher. Carrie is promoting her athletic wear line with Dick’s Sporting Goods called Calia, which is meant to be cute enough to wear outside the gym. (Sidenote: I checked out the line at Dick’s and it’s very feminine and not my style. Also, I shower and change back into my street clothes after I work out. I know it’s socially acceptable in the US to run errands in your workout gear but I can’t bring myself to do this.) Carrie is talking about her weight loss post baby. She snapped back quickly because she limited her weight gain during pregnancy to 30 pounds and works out frequently. She’s pretty meticulous about her diet, too, judging from her past interviews. Here’s some of what she told Shape:
On working out. “I will take any type of workout I can get, whenever I can get it. For me, it?s the key to being happy and healthy. Though it?s difficult to find spare time these days.”
Make 30 minutes the magic number. “After I had Isaiah, my goal was to take control of my body again. I was lucky: I gained only 30 pounds, which is the recommended amount, and I exercised throughout my pregnancy. I did have a C-section, which meant waiting six weeks before working out. Within 10 days, though, I was able to begin walking slowly on the treadmill and around my neighborhood. It felt so good to be active! When I got the OK from my doctor, I started exercising with my trainer. Now we box and we hike trails, among other things. I like to continually mix up my routines to stay motivated. But my favorite workout is Tabata, which I can do at home in about a half hour. I?m in love with it! It?s hard, but it really works. I choose seven different exercises, like squats, lunges, or push- ups, and do eight rounds of each?20 seconds on, 20 seconds off for eight rounds. It really revs up my metabolism. When I?m done, I can handle anything.”
Get your workout wear to pull double duty. “Since I exercise almost every day, I like wearing clothes that look just as good on the street as they do at the gym. I’ve always been an athletic-wear fanatic, but everything I owned was either super-functional and not cute, or really frilly and not right for my workout. I need exercise clothing that I can actually work out in but that also looks great if I meet a friend for coffee afterward. That’s why I created Calia with Dick’s Sporting Goods. And now I wear it everywhere.”
Flatten your belly overnight. “I’m vegan and I love bread, but recently, I started making dinner a breadless meal. I’ll have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, and I’ll make a sandwich on Ezekiel bread for lunch, but in the evening I’ll have protein and vegetables and no bread. When I wake up, my belly is flat!”
Find your chill time. “I think it’s so important to sit quietly every day for 10 minutes. In the morning, I enjoy my cup of coffee and plan the day in my head to be ready for it. And sometimes at night, I sip a glass of red wine and just relax. I’ve learned to give myself a break.”
[From Shape]
Carrie makes a lot of good points here except for claiming that skipping bread gives her a flat stomach. (To be fair to her, Shape added the “flatten your belly overnight” claim, she didn’t say that.) There’s no magic food to avoid to lose weight; it’s calories. You can eat bread, ice cream, pizza, etc. in moderation and still lose or maintain weight if you eat less calories than you burn. People make it complicated by ascribing to different bits of folk wisdom including avoiding entire food groups like meat, dairy or gluten. In truth no one needs to avoid those things unless they’re sensitive to them. It’s possible that bread makes her bloated though, if that’s what she means. Plus she’s not advocating eliminating gluten for no reason, that’s just a pet peeve of mine.
As Kaiser covered yesterday, Carrie also covers this week’s People Magazine. In People, Carrie admits that she tried diet supplements with ephedra in them. That must have been before they were banned in 2004. She said “It wasn’t the best way. If I could go back and talk to myself I’d be like, ‘Here’s how you do it the right way.‘” I tried a diet pill with ephedra and caffeine in the late 90s when it was still legal. I think I lasted on it two days because it made me feel sweaty and nervous.

She?s one of the biggest country singers of her generation as well as mom to 10-month-old son Isaiah, so it?s pretty obvious that Carrie Underwood has her hands full.
The ?Blown Away? songstress is featured on the front of the November 2015 issue of SHAPE magazine, proudly showing off her post-baby body, and she has a secret for scoring a flat belly overnight.
Carrie explains, "I'm vegan and I love bread, but recently, I started making dinner a breadless meal. I'll have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, and I'll make a sandwich on Ezekiel bread for lunch, but in the evening I'll have protein and vegetables and no bread. When I wake up, my belly is flat!"
As for exercise, Underwood notes, "My favorite workout is Tabata, which I can do at home in about a half hour. I'm in love with it! It's hard, but it really works. I choose seven different exercises, like squats, lunges, or pushups, and do eight rounds of each ? 20 seconds on, 20 seconds off for eight rounds. It really revs up my metabolism.

She?s settled into motherhood quite nicely and it looks like Carrie Underwood is back in phenomenal shape as well.
The ?Blown Away? songstress worked her magic for the camera while shooting a new campaign for her active wear brand Calia and the image are amazing.
Carrie told People, ?Having a baby definitely changes your routine, and I have to work around his schedule. Whenever he goes to sleep, I do the things I need to do for myself and make workouts happen when they can. I really haven?t taken that much time ?off? because there are always things to do. It?s been really nice to be able to focus my attention on Isaiah and our family. It?s been really good! But it?s been really nice as well to be creative, working on music, working on Calia. Making clothing that every woman can wear and enjoy makes me feel good.?

She?s the official singer of the ?Sunday Night Football? anthem, so it?s only natural that Carrie Underwood was recruited to belt out the ditty for Super Bowl XLIX.
The ?Blown Away? babe really nails it on her new track ?Waiting All Day,? adding to the anticipation for the New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks match-up.
Underwood sings, ?Alright hold on tight, it?s finally here / Super Bowl Sunday kickin? into high gear? Hey jack it?s a fact the champ?s getting crowned / The Patriots and Seahawks and the final showdown / The whole world?s rockin? time to crank up the sound.?

The American Country Countdown Awards took place in Nashville last night. They were hosted by Florida Georgia Line and featured performances by Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Miranda Lambert, among many others. I’ve never heard of the ACCAs and that’s because this is the first year they’ve happened. It seems like new awards shows are cropping up all over the place. You can see the winners and nominees here.
First off we have country queen Carrie Underwood in a tight white Ashdon gown featuring one sleeve and sheer cutout panels with gold beading. Carrie is very pregnant at this point, and she looks uncomfortable like she’d rather be at home in her sweatpants. I give her a lot of credit for putting on her game face and getting out there. She is a trooper. This is not my favorite dress in that it’s not particularly interesting or fashion-forward. I find it kind of cheap looking, but she’s gorgeous as usual.

Later on in the night Carrie changed into this voluminous blue Leanne Marshall gown which is much more suited to her. She performed a medley of her hit songs. (You can see her performance here.) The layers on this dress are so well draped that you can barely tell that she’s pregnant.
Miranda Lambert also had two different looks last night. On the red carpet she wore this Alon Livn black gown featuring a leather bodice with artfully cut flame-like details. This is so sexy and flattering. For her performance she changed into a shorter dress with similar cutouts along the bustline and tassels down the hem. It’s amazing how much different Lambert looks with curled hair and wearing a shorter dress. She should stick to sleek hair. Lambert performed with Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson, you can see their performance here. Miranda took home the award for Female Vocalist of The Year.
Also in the gallery we have photos of Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum and Reba McEntire.

Here is Carrie Underwood stepping out in a dress that hugs her baby bump on the red carpet at the 2014 American Country Countdown Awards held at Music City Center in Nashville.
Wearing a tight white dress with gold accents and a matching clutch, the 31-year-old stepped onto the carpet with plenty of cheers from the fashion community.
Soon after, the mom-to-be rushed backstage to change looks and open the inaugural award show with a medley of her greatest hits.

Whenever I say that Carrie Underwood seems like an unpleasant person, Carrie?s fans yell at me and tell me that she?s all lightness and wonder and Christian values and misunderstood sass. Perhaps. Or perhaps she?s just as judgy, catty and Mean Girl-y as any one of us. Maybe we should make our Celebitchy Patron Saint? Anyway, Star Magazine claims that Carrie has been holding a massive grudge against LeAnn Rimes for EIGHT YEARS. Apparently, LeAnn said something mildly bitchy about Carrie in 2006 and ever since then, Carrie has gone out of her way to talk trash about LeAnn and avoid her whenever possible.
She?s considered one of the sweetest stars in country music, but Carrie Underwood isn?t just a pretty little thang! She?s tough, she?s opinionated and she secretly despises fellow country singer LeAnn Rimes.
Carrie?s long-held hostility toward LeAnn emerged prior to shooting a live performance at the CMA Country Christmas Special on Nov. 7 (which aired Dec. 1). A set insider reveals that the Oklahoma native made an angry demand when she found out that LeAnn?s dressing room was right next to hers.
?She immediately had her people call the organizers to get her room switched,? the insider says. ?Carrie can?t stand LeAnn. When they see each other, she puts on a friendly front, but she thinks LeAnn is desperate, unoriginal and a has-been. And LeAnn has no idea how Carrie really feels.?
The distaste Carrie has for LeAnn goes back to 2006, soon after the American Idol winner beat out Faith Hill for Female Vocalist of the Year at the CMAs. LeAnn, who was already an established recording artist after years in the business, was asked about Carrie at the time and quipped, ?To see someone come in and win female vocalist that has been here for a very short time is a little disheartening.?
That statement stung Carrie, and she?s never forgotten it. ?LeAnn?s remarks were a huge slap in the face,? a source close to Carrie tells Star. ?Carrie saw it as a shallow and shameful welcome into the industry and showed LeAnn?s true colors. She?s waited eight years for an apology and has never gotten one. Carrie holds grudges. When they see each other out and at events, LeAnn acts like nothing ever happened, but Carrie will never forget.?
Perhaps what instigated the original comment was jealousy: At least that?s what a source close to Carrie speculates, saying, ?For so long, LeAnn was the only one who could belt out those high notes, and that was quickly taken from her as soon as Carrie entered the world of country music.?
Either way, Carrie believes her poor opinion of her country colleague was confirmed when LeAnn was caught cheating on her first husband with current husband Eddie Cibrian, who was also cheating on his wife, in 2009. ?Carrie was disgusted and couldn?t believe she?d destroy a marriage,? the source says. ?She is very religious and thinks that LeAnn?s appalling homewrecking confirmed everything she?d suspected in the first place.?
[From Star Magazine]
Considering the detail that went into this story, I tend to think it?s mostly true. I think Carrie can hold a grudge and she never forgot that LeAnn talked smack about her award win, and I?ll also buy that Carrie was probably disgusted by LeAnn?s behavior with the whole Eddie Cibrian situation. That being said? they performed at the same British country music festival last year. I?ve included the photos of them standing next to each other in this post. So maybe this is all just normal tabloid BS pitting two women against each other? Perhaps. But I still think there are probably LOTS of people in country music who are no longer friendly with LeAnn after her behavior the past five years.

Until I started watching Nashville, I was never into country music. Then I got sucked into that soapy trashy goodness and started to really enjoy the original music they play every episode. So while I wouldn’t call myself a country music fan, I can definitely appreciate it. Last night Nashville was preempted by the Country Music Awards, hosted by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley for the seventh year in a row. The two did a great job. They seemed very comfortable with each other, the jokes were topical and just rude enough and they sang original, funny songs. Unlike some of the artists, they seemed to be singing live. (Seriously, some of the lip syncing was obvious.)
The big news of course is that pregnant Carrie Underwood revealed the sex of her baby in a clever way. She’s having a boy! She didn’t look very bumpy at all. Most of the gowns that were chosen for her were draped well enough to draw attention away from that area, or maybe she’s not showing that much at this point. E! has the best recap of the opening monologue, so I’m quoting them here. The video is also below:
Paisley [joked] around about Underwood’s pregnancy. “And we’re pregnant!” he quipped, which caused Carrie to interject, “Brad, I don’t remember you being there.”
He responded, “Carrie, you can’t keep me out of this child’s life,” and begged to know whether she’s having a boy or a girl. After some persuading, she pulled him aside and whispered in his ear. “I know something you all don’t know. Suck it TMZ,” Paisley gloated, but it wasn’t long before everyone knew what he knew.
While talking about Garth Brooks return, Brad accidentally (maybe?) said, “We should name him Garth!” and gestured to Carrie’s baby bump. BOOM, the cat’s out of the bag.
They even took a crack at Ebola. “This song goes out to one feisty little nurse in Maine, who’s probaby riding her bike right now,” Brad said. To the tune of “Jolene,” the pair sang, “Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine. Don’t ride your bike, please don’t infect my man.”
Brad and Carrie also mourned the loss of a valuable country singer?Taylor Swift . Clearly, T. Swift is still alive, but as we all know by now, she has made the transition from country to pop with her latest album 1989, and now country music lovers are suffering from what the pair call Post-Partum Taylor Swift Disorder, or PPTSD.
Paisley exclaims his frustration with Barack Obama for not caring about the disorder, which prompted Carrie to say, “I’m pretty sure that’s why the Democrats lost the Senate.” Ooooh. It’s all good, they sang a little jingle to say goodbye and reassured everyone that they’re just going to have to “shake it off.”
The two hosts stated that they would not make fun of Rene Zellweger, though. Nope. “She could be here. How would we know? She’s a master of disguise,” Paisley said. Do you see what he did there?
He also poked fun at the scandalous celeb nude photo leak by joining Carrie for a little rendition of “Walk the Line”…with a twist. “I keep a close watch on this cloud of mine, I’ve changed my password twice, but I take naked selfies all the time, I’m scared I’ll find they leaked online.”
[From E! Online]
I was surprised at how well done the opening was. I don’t want to oversell it but I’ve seen a lot of awards shows and this one had very talented writers. It wasn’t too industry insider-y, it was clever, funny and kept me entertained. As for the awards, Miranda Lambert was the big winner last night. She won in the Album of The Year, Female Vocalist of The Year, Single of The Year and Musical Event of The Year categories. (A complete list of nominees and winners is here. Kaiser has more on Miranda here.) Also Luke Bryan won for Entertainer of The Year, which was the first time he’s won a CMA.
Here’s the opening monologue:
As for Carrie’s looks last night, I wasn’t a fan of her sparkly bronze Lorena Sarbu red carpet gown (below), it was too pageant for my tastes. I did like the white babydoll dress she wore at the start of the show, and during the ceremony she had on a whopping 10 dresses from my count. Just Jared has the best recap and I’ll attempt to do one too, but I’m going on their info.

Before taking over the hosting duties with Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood walked the red carpet at the 48th Annual CMA Awards earlier this evening (November 5).
The "Blown Away" babe looked stunning in her gown as she showed off her growing baby bump before heading inside Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
With a lineup that includes performances by Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney, this year?s CMA Awards is the biggest yet.
And everyone will be watching to see who wins Album of The Year- the nominees include Keith Urban (Fuse), Luke Bryan (Crash My Party), Miranda Lambert (Platinum), Dierks Bentley (Riser) and Eric Church (The Outsiders).

These are photos of Carrie Underwood, 31, outside The View yesterday. I love her loose curls and her makeup, she usually looks so pageanty so this is a nice, soft look for her. This royal blue Temperley London dress is kind of busy and young looking. There are too many patterns in the lace and the two tiers of satin ribbon on the hemline are too much. Normally she would get a pregnancy pass but Carrie doesn’t look pregnant at all here. She made a pregnancy announcement nearly two months ago, in early September, so maybe she announced earlier than usual or maybe she’s just disguising her bump under all that fabric. (This could be what’s going on with Princess Caroline. I hope everything is going fine for both of their pregnancies.)
Carrie was on The View with Brad Paisley to promote their upcoming gig co-hosting the CMAs next Wednesday, November 5th. (You can see the video of their appearance here.) It will be their seventh time hosting the show. As for her pregnancy, Carrie confirmed that she’s due in the Spring and said that she’s nervous about “being responsible for a tiny human” Hollywood Life notes that you could see a little hint of a pregnancy on Carrie from the side but I couldn’t tell at all.
Last month, on The Today Show, Carrie told Hoda that she and her husband, Mike Fisher, 34, are still coming to terms with being parents. “It’s still kind of weird, to be honest. Sometimes I’ll be with my husband and I’m like, ‘I’m going to be a mom. You’re going to be a dad. Like, is this real life?’ But we’re really excited.”
I like Carrie’s low-key approach to pregnancy. She’ll share some minor details but she plays her personal life somewhat close to the vest. She’s a celebrity who would theoretically have plenty of diet, fitness and lifestyle advice. She’ll tell you what works for her but she’s not telling other people how to run their lives. I appreciate that about her. She’s not going to have a kid and suddenly become an expert on motherhood.
