Carrie Underwood Recalls Her ‘Worst’ Date
Carrie Underwood is a happily married woman with two young boys at home, but with Valentine’s Day this Friday (Feb. 14), here is the story of her worst experience on a date as a young teenager.
Carrie told me a few years ago, “The worst date I ever had was actually probably my first date ever. I was 16, and I was going out on a date with a guy who was a bit older. He might have been about 18. And he came in, and my dad actually had gotten out his shotguns earlier to start cleanin’ ’em. I don’t know why he decided to clean them right before my first date, but he did. Mom made him put ’em up, though.”
She continued, “But my date gets there, and we go out, and he really just didn’t put that much thought into it. Like, we just went to the mall and were gonna watch a movie. But I was 16 and couldn’t get into any rated-R movies. So we ended up watching this horrible movie. We left halfway through, and he took me home, and that was that.”
She laughed, “Not a great first dating experience.”

Underwood is ready for the premiere of American Idol’s Season 23, which airs on ABC starting March 9. She will join judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
Carrie posted a split photo of herself on Instagram: One from when she was a contestant on Idol in 2005 and another from now as a judge on Idol in 2025.
She captioned the photo, “‘Then’ as a contestant vs. ‘Now as a judge 20 years later! Counting down the days as we’re one month away from the March 9 season premiere of @americanidol on @abc and Stream on @hulu! #CUonIDOL.”
Many fans responded to her timeline post, including one diehard fan who commented, “Soooo looking forward to this!” Another fan wrote, addressing some of the social media backlash she has been getting after performing for President Trump’s Inauguration, “Love you, Carrie! Anyone that doesn’t, just because you performed for the President, is the one with issues. We all have a right to vote.”
One more fan said, “Can’t wait. Love Idol….. Great this season with Carrie.”
