Carrie Underwood reveals she schedules time to 'cry for no reason' as she opens up about embracing her emotions and raising two kids
Carrie Underwood makes time to 'cry for no reason.'
The 36-year-old musician revealed the weird ritual in an interview with People magazine published Friday.
'Sometimes I feel like I just need to cry, for no reason, and there's not anything that happened,' she told the entertainment news magazine. 'I've learned to be OK with that, whereas five or 10 years ago I would have been like, "Oh my God, something's wrong with me!"'

Revealing a conversation she had with her mother Carole Underwood about her scheduled tears, Carrie added: 'I called my mom and said "I need to schedule myself a cry, is that weird?"'
Carole told her daughter to 'do what you gotta do,' insisting it's 'best to let it out.'

The Grammy Award winner has been touring the globe in support of her recent LP Cry Pretty and instead of staying in hotels the family have been renting houses to make the experience more normal for their two young boys.
Carrie said: 'We've kind of gotten out of hotel rooms because for Isaiah, it's hard for a 4-year-old who's constantly looking to be stimulated. We started renting houses to have a little more normalcy and so he has a backyard to play in. He can be a little boy and get out some of his pinned up energy. And we can make breakfast and have those comforts of home. That's a big difference.'
And the venues have made room for a space where Isaiah can be 'creative' and play.
Carrie added: 'We have this area where Isaiah can go and color or there are toys in there or he can read and paint, whatever he's feeling. He's a pretty creative kid so we try to give him space to do that.'

Lawsuit: The interview comes just two days after news broke that the singer is being sued for allegedly 'stealing,' the song Game On (Pictured June 7, 2019)
The interview comes just two days after news broke that the singer is being sued for allegedly 'stealing,' the song Game On.
The country star debuted the single as the NFL's Sunday Night Football theme in 2018, but songwriter Heidi Merrill claims she came up with the ditty in 2016.
In the suit, Merrill says she submitted the song to Underwood's producer Mark Bright - who passed on using it - at an event in Nashville in August 2017, according to TMZ.
Merrill was apparently 'shocked' in September 2018 to see Underwood and NBC promoting a new theme song called Game On for the football program.
Carrie's version is 'substantially, even strikingly, similar, if not identical' to her own song explained Merrill in the documents.
Underwood, her producer Bright, NBC and the NFL are all named in the copyright infringement suit.
The amount Merrill is seeking is currently undisclosed.
