When it comes to her personal life, Carrie Underwood is one of the most tight-lipped singers in country music, but a trip to Canada over the weekend has other tongues wagging about a new romance for the “American Idol” graduate.

Carrie was spotted in a luxury box Saturday with the family of Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. In fact, her picture was beamed onto the venue’s Jumbotron “Hug Cam” when she embraced the people around her. Three days earlier, Carrie and Mike’s sister visited Rinaldo’s, an Ottawa spa, for pedicures. That same night, Carrie reportedly attended a New Year’s Eve party at the home of Mike’s teammate, Jason Spezza.

Fitness trainer Tony Greco, who counts himself among Mike’s friends, told The Ottawa Citizen “they’re a perfect match.” Mike, however, declined to comment on his personal life.

The couple met when Carrie performed at Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place last March. Mike visited her backstage, though it’s unclear when their relationship began. She has been previously linked to actor Chace Crawford and to Travis Stork, a former contestant on “The Bachelor.”

Carrie is slated to perform Wednesday on “The People’s Choice Awards,” where she’s a three-time nominee. Others expected to appear include Rascal Flatts and Jewel.

Carrie landed four titles on GAC’s Top 50 Videos Of 2008, including three in the Top 10. Tabbed were “How Great Thou Art,” No. 23; “Last Name,” No. 8; “All-American Girl,” No. 4; and “Just A Dream,” No. 2.
