He said: "I was a little bit nervous. I watched some of the [performance] when she first started to do it, but I mean that was crazy."

Carrie, on the other hand, took it all in her stride. She told the publication: "So I worked with our director and choreographer... and we had a couple sessions, and I was like, 'Hey! I'm not too bad! I think it'd be great to learn more and and incorporate stuff, even just for fun."

Proving the strength of their relationship, the couple spent the first few months of married life apart from each other at weeks at a time due to their respective careers.

When Carrie isn't on the road, she enjoys nothing more than spending time with her husband and children at their home in Nashville.

She admitted in a recent interview on Absolute Radio Country: "I don’t go places…on my own if it is left up to me and my devices, I would just be a little homesteader and just stay home and do nothing. I shouldn't say do nothing, I am actually very busy when I am at home, but it is chores, I am doing chores."
