Carrie Underwood Announces 2016 Tour Dates — and Baby Isaiah as Her Roadie

It’s been a few years since country queen Carrie Underwood has been on a full-out tour, and a lot has changed for the American Idol winner. Following the release of her fifth studio album Storyteller, Underwood announced dates for the record’s corresponding tour — and who she will be bringing on the road with her.

Underwood best get some bedtime stories prepared, as her eight-month-old son Isaiah will be coming along for the five-month ride. Luckily for the “All-American Girl” and hockey hubby Mike Fisher, Isaiah is “the sweetest and smiliest baby.” Or at least that’s what Underwood told Ellen DeGeneres. Perhaps life on the road will make a rocker out of him.

According to Underwood’s website, Stories in the Round will be performed in the round (aka with the stage in the middle of the arena floor). Tickets will be available Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. local time at aeglive.com.
