Carrie Underwood sparks fan frenzy with adorable new family member

“These mornings are so precious. It took a few days for them to willingly take the bottle…I’m still working on him,” she continued, before sharing that she was “trying to be a good mama to these babies”.

The singer’s fans took to the comment section to obsess over the “adorable” and “precious” lambs, with one writing: “Well if this isn’t the sweetest way to start off a Monday I don’t know what is,” while another shared: “You are a good Mama to them!”

“Those lambs have no idea…they just won the lottery!” said a third.

Carrie shared a further glimpse of the lambs in a second Instagram post, quipping: “Hey kids, ‘ewe’ better not miss @AmericanIdol tonight”.

Carrie is no stranger to adopting farm animals, and has cared for everything from chickens to donkeys over the years. In May 2025, the American Idol judge took to Instagram to surprise fans with the birth of another baby lamb, who was born the same day as the show’s finale. 

She named him after the Season 23 Idol winner, Jamal Roberts, in honor of his birth date. “It would only be right if we named him Jamal!!!” she quipped.

Her two new adopted babies, Maggie and Murray, now join Jamal and the other farm animals on their sprawling property.

The eight-time Grammy winner and her husband, Mike Fisher, live with their two sons, Jacob and Isaiah, on a farm near Nashville, Tennessee. Spread over 400 acres of land, it is home to its own orchard, lake and chicken coop, as well as several barns and sheds, which house a variety of livestock. 

They also have a large greenhouse that the pair installed in 2023 to grow fresh fruit and vegetables year-round. “It’s really cool when people come over, and you can serve them bread that you made or some hard apple cider from your orchard”, the pop star told Modern Luxury.

When Carrie isn’t tending to her farm, she is busy with American Idol, where she is serving as a judge for the second year in a row. This follows season 23, when she replaced Katy Perry on the show. 

Speaking with Las Vegas Magazine in 2025, the 43-year-old explained: “The timing did work out beautifully as Idol came together…I know exactly what they are going through and how vulnerable it is to stand in front of the judges and leave your heart on the stage.” 

Carrie won the show’s fourth season back in 2005, and has gone on to become one of country music’s most successful stars. 

She also noted that working on American Idol gave her the stability that touring could not, meaning she could spend more time with her family and the animals on the farm.
