The 38-year-old country singer is usually jetting across the world for her career but she has really enjoyed being forced to stay at home in lockdown with her husband Mike Fisher and their two children - Isaiah, six, and Jacob, two - after so much time apart.

Speaking about family life, she shared: "Being home has been such a blessing. Watching my boys grow, spending time cooking, spending time in the garden I do feel people who try their hardest to look at the silver linings in life have probably learned so much from this time.

"I have a three-year-old and a six-year-old. Normally we're travelling so much and mommy's so busy. To have every single day and every single dinner together, that really is special. As crazy as things were, just having time to think about what matters most in life is a blessing and we should enjoy that."

The 'Jesus, Take The Wheel' hitmaker also confessed her husband Mike is always making "dad jokes" whilst she describes her humour as a "little cheesy and a little dry".

Giving an insight into home life at her ranch in Tennessee, she told the Sunday Express: "My husband always does a lot of dad jokes and that makes me laugh. My humour is a little cheesy and a little dry."

Meanwhile, Carrie previously revealed she believes she's struck the perfect balance between her work and home life and is glad she's managed to have both in equal measure.

She said: "Getting married and starting a family, you see some women in the music industry talk about how they chose not to have a family because they were focused so much on their career. I kind of took the opposite route and I’m just like, I can have it all. I had my son Jake, and three months [later], we had our first show on the ‘Cry Pretty' tour. I was like, ‘I can do this’ and we made it through."
