It’s a Boy! Carrie Underwood Reveals Baby Gender Onstage at the CMA Awards

It’s official—Carrie Underwood and her country music partner-in-crime, Brad Paisley, took the stage at the 2018 CMA Awards on November 14 to announce some big news: Carrie's second baby is a boy! The singer, who is eight months pregnant, made the announcement live during the awards show, which was watched by millions of fans tuning in from all over the globe. This time, unlike her previous pregnancy announcement, Carrie wasn’t caught off guard—she willingly shared the news with the audience, unlike the accidental slip-up from four years ago.

Back in 2014, Brad Paisley famously blurted out Carrie’s baby gender during her first pregnancy, much to her dismay. That moment became a viral sensation, and this year, fans were left wondering if history would repeat itself. But this time, Brad took a different approach. Instead of risking another accidental reveal, he turned the spotlight on Carrie, encouraging her to share the exciting news herself. And let’s just say, she didn’t disappoint!

Brad Paisley Jokes About the Last Time He "Blew It"

“Hey, you remember last time when I accidentally revealed the gender of your baby?” Brad, 46, joked with the audience, referring to the infamous moment in 2014 when he let the cat out of the bag about Carrie’s first son, Isaiah. “Tonight, we’re going to reveal something even more exciting. Who’s the father?” Brad quipped, pointing the mic toward Carrie’s husband, NHL star Mike Fisher. The crowd erupted in laughter as Brad continued his dad jokes, asking Carrie, “What’s your gut feeling here?”

After some playful banter, Brad finally coaxed Carrie into sharing the news. “Seriously, Carrie, give me a baby hint,” he teased, listing off iconic male-female country duos like Johnny Cash and June Carter, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, and Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Carrie, clearly amused by his last suggestion, hesitated for a moment before shouting, “Oh, my gosh, Willie—it’s a Willie!” The audience went wild, and Brad couldn’t help but celebrate the big reveal.

Carrie "Blew It" This Time Around

“Carrie blew it! Trending worldwide! Way bigger than when I did it, and worse,” Brad joked, referencing the viral moment from four years ago when he accidentally spilled the beans. Fans watching at home couldn’t help but laugh as Brad playfully took credit for not being the one to let the cat out of the bag this time. It was a hilarious and heartfelt moment that showcased the chemistry between the two longtime co-hosts.

Carrie and Mike Fisher, who have been married for eight years, first announced they were expecting their second child back in August. “Mike and Isaiah and I are absolutely over the moon and excited to be adding another little fish to our pond,” Carrie said in a heartfelt statement. Fans can’t wait to see Isaiah, now 3 years old, step into his new role as a big brother. It’s moments like these that remind us why Carrie Underwood continues to be one of country music’s most beloved stars.
