Carrie Underwood 'feels awful' that people call her husband 'Mr. Underwood' & says he won't cheat

title or description

Carrie Underwoo see Mike Fisher s her equal, not her subordinate. So when the media refers to her hockey player husband as "Mr. Underwood," the singer is understandably upset.


"It made me feel awful," the country music superstar, 29, says in the February issue o Allure "Somebody works real hard to make a name for themselves, a respectable name, and then it's 'Mr. Underwood.'"

Canadian-born Fisher, 32, was called "Mr. Underwood" many times when he was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators in February 2011, according to the "Blown Away" singer.

"He was drafted there, and that was the only team he had ever played for [in the United States]. He would have played and he wanted to play for Ottawa for his whole career. He had no say in any of it," Underwood says in her husband's defense. "[But] I love it that he's here."


Underwood is in it for the long haul with Fisher, despite what doubters say.

"We've seen a lot of celebrities, professional athletes, not exactly always being on their best behavior away from girlfriends, wives, families," she says. "People would say, 'Do you ever worry that? You know, he's an athlete, he's young, he's good-looking?' And I've never had to worry about him, because I've never trusted anybody so completely. Or I didn't know the true meaning of trust. He just. . . He just wouldn't do that."

Though the "Before He Cheats" chart topper has often sung about heartbreak, the athlete makes her feel more loved than ever. "We want that person to be everything we've always wanted," Underwood tel Allur of her music. "If they're not Prince Charming, we try to make them Prince Charming. But Prince Charming does exist! I found one."

...So it's totally cool when women take on their husband's last names, but if the husband is called by his wife's last name, it's humiliating and upsetting? Oh.

I don't think that is what she meant otherwise her name would be Carrie Fischer

It is what she implied at the very least. For starters, she may have changed her name to Carrie Fischer. Most celebs take their husband's surname legally but don't change their stage name to avoid confusion. And even if her name still is legally Underwood, the question has to be asked if she would be this upset if someone had called her Mrs. Fischer. My guess is the answer would be a big nope.

what I came in here to say

would he be okay if she was called Mrs. whatever his last name is? I'm betting yes

ETA: is her husband a famous hockey player??

A knew a guy who got super-offended when we mistakenly called him by his wife's last name. It turned out that his wife kept her name when they married, but they were new in town and none of us knew that. He was kind of unnecessarily dickish about the whole thing, like I'd told him his dick was small and his Kung Fu was weak.

Idk I took it more as because he is someone that would be in the spot light and he isn't being recognized for his achievements but because he's married to her. I didn't really think she meant because he's the guy just that it sucks because her fame is kinda blocking out any small bit he would have for his own work.
