Carrie Underwood Quiz Nearly Lands Her in Penalty Box!

Carrie Underwood is one busy blond beauty -- with a hot hockey-player romance, a smash single, and a brand-new album ('Play On') ready to drop next week. But with literally a minute to spare in her hectic schedule, the superstar took CMT's "either/or"-themed video challenge, and answered as many rapid-fire questions as she could in a "CMT Minute."

And although she tackled the question "athletes or actors" with a quick reply (and sly smile), responding with "athletes," Carrie nearly fumbled when she was asked "football or hockey" and said, yep, "football." Covering her mouth, the superstar quickly recovered, with visions of boyfriend Mike Fisher no doubt skating in her head!

On the subject of the upcoming CMA Awards, co-host Carrie says hosting the show is more fun than performing (although she'll be doing both). The singer also reveals she prefers heels over flats, comedies over romantic movies, and bowling over putt-putt golf.

When it comes to fellow musicians, Carrie says she'd choose to duet with Garth Brooks over George Strait, and she prefers Ne-Yo over Kanye West. In all, Carrie breezed through 25 questions in 60 seconds!

Carrie had considerably more time to think about the 11 Questions we posed to her recently. (And we have a pretty good idea what she'll be doing on Halloween night!)
