A viral post claimed Carrie Underwood and her younger son, Jacob, sang an emotional tribute to Mike Fisher and left him in tears.
It sounds like the kind of family moment fans would love right away.
Carrie at the microphone. Her little boy beside her. Mike watching with tears in his eyes. Sweet, simple, and almost too perfect.
But here is the twist.
That is not the confirmed story.
Carrie Underwood’s Son Joins Her for “Little Drummer Boy” – Exclusive on HBO Max
Carrie did record a beautiful duet with one of her sons, but it was not Jacob. It was her older son, Isaiah Michael Fisher. He joined her on “Little Drummer Boy” for her 2020 Christmas album, My Gift.
At the time, Isaiah was only 5 years old. Jacob was still just 1, which makes the viral version easy to question. The real duet was not a live tribute to Mike. It was a studio Christmas song between Carrie and Isaiah.
But does that make the real story less sweet?
Not at all.

Carrie said Isaiah loved music and agreed to sing with her. And when he got into the studio, he did a great job. For Carrie, it became one of those proud mom moments that stays with you.
Mike Fisher’s reaction was sweet, too. He was reportedly excited when he first heard Carrie and Isaiah’s duet in the car.
Stop for a second. The viral post got the names and setup wrong, but the heart of it was not completely fake.
Carrie really did share a special song with her son. The emotion really was there.
It was just Isaiah, not Jacob. “Little Drummer Boy,” not a confirmed live tribute.
And honestly, the real story did not need a fake twist to be touching.
