The country superstar -- who is also mom to her 1-year-old son, Jacob -- said she wasn't sure it would work but, in the end, "he went in and he did such a great job."

"He was throwing his hands up in the air and was so excited and had all these cute 5-year-old emotions just pouring out of him," she gushed.

Underwood called the sweet collaboration "just such a proud moment for me as a mom."
