  Carrie Underwood talks about her pal, Brad Paisley. (:35)
“Brad and I — I’ve always said, he’s like my big brother. I didn’t have brothers growing up, but if I had one, I would want him to be like Brad, and he has, you know, the best family. [His wife] Kim and his kids are just absolutely amazing, and they’ve always been super-sweet to me. And it’s just nice to have people that you work with that you really enjoy, and you enjoy being around. And he and [my husband] Mike have hung out together, and it’s just nice to have that in your life, where you can have people that are kind of in all aspects of your life — your work life and your personal life.”
