It sounds like things are pretty serious between Carrie Underwood and NHL player Mike Fisher: they're talking about their relationship publicly. What's Carrie's idea of a romantic date?

"I love sporting events and popcorn and pizza and being outside, like at a baseball or football game. I love amusement parks, going to ride roller coasters. I also love -- not all the time, but occasionally -- getting really dressed up and going on a proper date, where he picks you up and you're wearing a nice dress and you both smell real nice, and you made a big effort to get looking pretty for this person."

It's good that she likes sporting events, since she's dating an athlete :)

Meanwhile, Mike said he doesn't serenade Carrie.

"I like to sing," the Ottawa Senators player tells The Sens Show, a Web news program for his team. "[But] when I try to sing some of her songs, she just laughs!"

Mike admitted that finding time together with their schedules is a struggle.

"Obviously it's tough with our schedules to see each other," he tells the program. "But we always find a way to make it work."

His busy girlfriend, he adds, is "very committed, and she works extremely hard. She doesn't get too many days off – a lot less days off than I get. She's always going."

But when Carrie does slow down, she admits she likes shopping, although "Nashville could use some better shopping!" One thing Carrie won't be doing: twitter. Why?

"It just sounds like organized stalking to me."

Huh. I never thought of twitter like that. Well, I hope things work out for these two. They're certainly low-key: I can't find a single picture of them together!

Here's someone we don't see very often! Carrie Underwood was snapped leaving the gym with her bodyguard today in Los Angeles. She seems to do pretty well avoiding the paparazzi, doesn't she?

Carrie announced on her website today that she'd be performing at this year's Country Music Awards, as well as co-hosting alongside Brad Paisley. The awards ceremony will be broadcast on November 11. Carrie is also nominated in two categories - Female Vocalist and Musical Event.
