Carrie Underwood talks about how she and her family in Nashville are handling COVID-19 and social distancing.

Carrie said, "I am dealing with the social distancing much like everybody else. We are just at home, and we are trying to get out and explore when the weather’s nice enough to do so. We are so lucky that we have some land around us that we get to get outside and get some of our energy out, especially with a five-year-old, for Isaiah, trying to come up with crafts."

She adds, "I’ve been cooking a lot. My house is spotless [laughs]. But just trying to do what I can work-wise as much as I can at home and trying not to worry and praying much like everybody else.”

Underwood also shared what she has been watching on TV, “We do guilty watch The Bachelor or Bachelorette. I love The Walking Dead when that’s on. I do like A Million Little Things when that’s on. It seems like maybe when one of my favorite shows ends, it’s like another one starts back up again. But we watch a lot of murder-mystery type shows, as well.”
