Carrie Underwood Is Reportedly ‘Getting No Sleep’ In Farm Life

Carrie Underwood may love country living, but her Tennessee dream farm has turned into a round-the-clock headache. 

The singer, who lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with husband Mike Fisher and their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob, is battling what insiders are calling “never-ending repairs” while caring for dozens of animals.

Carrie Underwood once called her garden her “happy place” and even built a greenhouse last year to grow her own fruits and vegetables.

Life on the farm is not all peace and quiet for Underwood, and the daily demands of her sprawling Tennessee property are starting to take a toll.

Sources close to the country star claim, “It’s become too much for her to maintain, and she’s getting no sleep because she’s up at the crack of dawn taking care of all these animals.” 

On top of that, she tends to fruit trees, a greenhouse, and multiple gardens. Her days reportedly include everything from “shoveling hay, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and then there are the repairs that never end.”

What looks picture-perfect online, insiders say, is far more exhausting in reality. RadarOnline noted that the workload, combined with the shortage of steady hands, has left Underwood stretched thin and struggling to keep up with the endless list of tasks that come with farm living.

Before news of the TV personality’s struggles with the demands of farm life, she was proudly celebrating the fruits of her labor.

HelloMagazine reported that last year, Underwood was thrilled when the 16-by-28-foot greenhouse on her 400-acre property produced its first harvest. The greenhouse includes L-shaped, rectangular, and round planting beds, along with outdoor raised beds to grow a variety of produce.

She shared the moment with fans on Instagram, showing off two ripe mandarins and writing, “Ahhhhh!!!! Picked my first mandarins today! I’m so excited!!!!” In another since-expired story, she revealed her homegrown limes, noting they had turned yellow as they ripened. 

Beyond the greenhouse, the property features a chicken coop where she collects fresh eggs for her family, giving her a true farm-to-table lifestyle.

Underwood has faced her share of onstage challenges, but one performance still stands out for all the wrong reasons. The Blast shared that her appearance at Trump’s inauguration was overshadowed by a technical issue that disrupted her backing track.

She was caught off guard when her backing track cut out right before she began singing. Still, she pushed on, encouraging the crowd to join in by singing along, “if you know the words,” despite being unhappy with the circumstances.

Sources later claimed Underwood was unhappy with how the event was handled and felt the setup fell short compared to other high-profile performances. An insider disclosed that her anxiety was high throughout the show, adding, “She felt as if she was ushered in and out and had a mini hissy fit afterward.”

Another unexpected challenge Underwood faced was the complete absence of a proper stage. Instead of appearing on a traditional platform, the 42-year-old was placed in a room surrounded by attendees, holding only a microphone.

The arrangement reportedly hurt the acoustics and was a far cry from the large-scale setups she is accustomed to. The change happened after the event, initially planned for an outdoor space, was moved inside at the last minute due to a cold weather forecast for Washington, D.C.

While the experience was not exactly what she envisioned, those close to her say the songwriter is proud she managed to prevent it from “being a total disaster.”
