Carrie Underwood is Engaged!

Carrie Underwood flashed a new diamond engagement ring!  Canadian hockey player and alternate captain for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League, Mike Fisher, proposed to his girlfriend, country singer and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood this past Sunday evening; the couple have been dating for the better part of a year.  Maybe we could have seen the engagement ring coming when she printed this message to her hockey player fiancé on the notes of her latest album, “Play On.”

“Thank you #12, you are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day… xoxo, Carrie.”

Twenty-nine year old Fisher is Underwood’s first long term boyfriend, and she is his second attempt at a committed relationship.  They met backstage after her concert in Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.  There are not many details about the proposal, but it is reported that it took place Sunday in Fisher’s home among their family and some friends. The twenty-six year old Underwood was photographed Monday night sitting in Ottawa owner Eugene Melnyk’s luxury box watching her fiancés team play the Boston Bruins.  She was all smiles and wearing her enormous new rock.  There is no word yet on details of the engagement ring, but based on the photos first taken by the Ottawa Citizen, this Canadian hockey player knows his ice!

This season has been good for Underwood; the huge diamond engagement ring from Fisher comes just after the announcement of her two Grammy Award nominations.  Underwood scored one nomination for best female country vocal performance for her song “Just a Dream,” and another nomination for best country collaboration with vocals where she teamed up with legendary country singer Randy Travis in the song, “I Told You So.”  The winners will be announced on the Grammy Awards show set to air on CBS, January 31, 2010.  The nominations are very exciting news for Underwood, few other American Idol contestants have faired so well in their careers.  The only other Idols to receive the prestigious honor include: Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, Ace Young, and Mandisa.

Fisher and Underwood have not yet set a wedding date, but have reported to news outlets that they are both very excited about the event.

Carrie Underwood sports her engagement ring for the first time in public at the Ottawa Senators vs. Boston Bruins hockey game this past Monday.
