The headline on this week's Star is devastating: "TRAPPED IN A BAD MARRIAGE."
Flip inside and the central claim of the story — the duo was "last seen together in public ten months ago" — suggests an ominous future for one of Music City's most famous couples.
Devastated at the possibility of missing out on such pivotal and groundbreaking news (from such a respected source) right at the brink of the NHL Playoffs — and unable to contact appropriate representatives — the Pith I-Team set its sights on the case of Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher’s allegedly troublesome marriage.
After a grueling 35 seconds waiting for Instagram to load, then digging through Underwood’s account, we uncovered a photo reposted by Underwood from Fisher’s personal account. Posted on April 4, the caption — written by Underwood — reads, “My boys, matching flannel shirts, a horse and the beautiful outdoors = perfection!” and shows Fisher walking alongside their son who is riding a horse.

Contrary to Star’s claim that the duo was “last seen together in public ten months ago,” Pith's I-Team found that the horse-riding photo was shot in public one week ago. Just to make sure Underwood and Fisher weren’t pulling any fast ones, Pith decided to scroll for approximately one more minute, only to find selfies of the couple and family shots at hockey games and at home.
Stand down, everyone. The republic is safe.
