Carrie Underwood Gets Engaged to Hockey Beau Mike Fisher

By Erica Bowen on December 21, 2009

LOS ANGELES — Carrie Underwood and her hockey beau Mike Fisher are getting married!

"I'm happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn't be happier," Underwood's rep confirmed Monday. "No wedding date has been set at this time."

According to the Ottawa Sun, Fisher popped the question on Sunday, but he declined to offer any other details about the proposal during a morning news conference.

"We're both obviously excited and very happy," he said.

Underwood, 26, and Fisher, 29, started dating shortly after meeting backstage during one of the country star's concerts in March 2008. While they've mainly kept their romance on the down low, Underwood did recently gush over her boyfriend on the liner notes of her new album, Play On.

"Thank you #12," she wrote, referring to the center's jersey number. "You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day... xoxo, Carrie."

By Matt Murai on October 5, 2009

NASHVILLE — Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift will be among the star-packed list of performers at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards show, organizers announced Monday.

Others slated to perform include Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, George Strait, Sugarland and Keith Urban.

Paisley racked up six nominations, including a nod for entertainer of the year, to lead the field of nominees for the CMA's announced last month. The 36-year-old singer was also nominated for male vocalist, album for "American Saturday Night," single and song for "Then," and music video for "Start a Band" with Keith Urban.

Swift became the first female artist to receive a nod for entertainer of the year since Faith Hill in 2000. Shania Twain was the last female artist to win the coveted honor, scoring her victory in 1999. In another first for the 19-year-old singer, she was nominated for album of the year for "Fearless."

Strait, meanwhile, now has 79 career CMA Awards nominations, tying him with Alan Jackson. He leads the trophy count with 22 during the course of his distinguished career.

Another artist looking to add to their trophy count is Underwood, who picked up two nods. The former "American Idol" star will be in search of her fourth straight female vocalist of the year title.

Rucker, who released his debut solo country album in 2008, received his first two CMA nominations for new artist and male vocalist.

This year's ceremony, which will be hosted by Paisley and Underwood, will air live from the Sommet Center in Nashville on Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
