Throughout her lengthy career in country music, Carrie Underwood has gotten to perform duets with some of the biggest names of the entertainment world. However, none of them have left a bigger impression on her than her 5 year-old son Isaiah did when he teamed up with her to perform the classic song “Little Drummer Boy” on her new Christmas album “My Gift.”
“It was so great,” Underwood, 37, told People Magazine. “When we recorded, I was able to be in the booth with him and encourage him and try to remind him what words were coming up next, things like that.”
The former “American Idol” winner went on to say that the most emotional part for her was hearing Isaiah’s part after their session in the studio.
“I got to listen to his vocals [get] put together and then listening to myself with him,” she said. “I was laughing, and I was crying, and it was just very overwhelming in a good way. It’s just very emotional.”
For Underwood, getting the chance to make this album amidst the COVID-19 pandemic was a blessing.
“It really was a gift for me. It was a welcome distraction,” she explained. “It was such a stressful, hard year and nobody knew where it was headed the majority of the time. It was nice to be able to go in and have this to look forward to.”
Underwood added that the silver lining of life in quarantine amidst a global pandemic has been getting to spend more time with her husband and their two children.
“I tried my best to start every morning just being thankful,” she said. “We’re all healthy right now. And we have each other, and I got to just stay in one place, which hasn’t happened in a long time and really just watch, especially my youngest one, to get to know him and kind of watch him grow.”
As for what she’s learned about herself in such a tumultuous year, Underwood said that she “definitely discovered that I can go with the flow a little more than I thought.
“Once we were presented with challenge after challenge, instead of lamenting or freaking out, we came to expect that things weren’t going to go as planned,” she said. “Once we embraced that, we were able to say, ‘Okay, now what? How do we overcome obstacles?’ It turns out we’re pretty good obstacle-overcomers.”
