Carrie Underwood recently sat down with Esquire and discussed some men in her life and the not-so-glamorous side of fame.

When people think of what it’s like to be famous, they think of the Ritz. But I’ve been in hotels where I will not take my shoes off. I will wear flip-flops in the shower. I’ve seen more basements of venues than I’ve seen of the United States. People think, Oh, you travel around, you get to see the country. I’ve seen basements, I’ve seen concrete, I’ve seen pillars.

But Carrie has plenty to say about the men from her past…

Simon’s obviously very smart. But he’s not the smartest person I know.

Is “Cowboy Casanova” about the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys? No. I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong. I would never give him that much credit.

and the current love of her life….

Don’t buy a puppy because it’s cute.
