Just looking at the picture, you see one of the world’s biggest country music stars, Carrie Underwood, holding a giant squash. This post blew up with over 143,000 likes because it showed her in sweatpants, genuinely proud of her harvest. The squashes are called tromboncino squash, an Italian type famous for growing super long. She joked in the caption, “We’ll be eating these all winter!
This is not the glamorous stage life fans usually see. She is showing a relatable, messy hobby, and that contrast makes the whole thing a hit. The size of the vegetables is also funny and surprising. It proves she is a surprisingly good gardener despite calling herself lazy. It is a peek into her home life, showing that even a superstar gets excited about an impressive vegetable harvest.
Pardon my sweatpants, but I had to show off these tromboncino squash!
Fans went wild in the comments over the huge harvest. They love her random life updates! One person joked, “Oh my gourd!” Another viewer wrote that they loved the fact she was wearing sweats, saying, “Just here to say we support you and sweatpants at any and all times.” Even fellow country star Miranda Lambert jumped in, asking for a Squash casserole.
That viral harvest picture was actually the amazing end to a small gardening experiment she had shared earlier. Carrie had posted a video showing the leafy tromboncino plant just starting to grow. She had low expectations, saying she was a lazy gardener, who just threw seeds in the ground and hoped for the best.
I have always read great things about the tromboncino squash and thought I’d give it a try this year!
The video shows her single, vigorous plant, which she said was the only seed that germinated. She even made a funny hashtag, #TrombonIDontKnow, because she truly did not know if it would work out. This little video shows the humble beginning of her success, not in her career but in her gardening journey!
