Carrie Underwood appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and it was no ordinary sit-down interview. They talked about “favorite” American Idol contestants, Randy Jackson, hockey, life on the tour bus, life as a vegan country singer, and of course, her hockey-playing husband, Mike Fisher.

“Is Mike nervous about the fact that many of your songs deal with violent revenge?” Kimmel asks.

Carrie laughs, then says: “My life is good, my husband’s wonderful. Nobody wants to hear that. It’d make a terrible song.”

She also describes a ritual she does every album release day–and for Blown Away, she did it four times.

And speaking of “violent revenge,” a highlight of the TV appearance was a duet Carrie performed with Jimmy.

Titled “Before You Freak,” Jimmy describes it as “the aftermath of revenge,” while Carrie calls it “‘Before He Cheats’…the sequel,” referencing her 2007 single.
