Hardcore fans of "How I Met Your Mother" have been fairly adamant that upcoming guest star Carrie Underwood will not turn out to be the mystery mom and a new clip featuring the country crooner may just prove their theory right.
In the short clip provided by Us Weekly, Carrie (who said she had a blast on the set of the sitcom), playing pharmaceutical rep Tiffany, is hanging out with lovelorn Ted (Josh Radnor), who, for reasons unknown has a teacup piglet (between this and the goat, we're thinking Ted is in for some major apartment violations).
Over said piglet, the two engage in some flirtatious banter when Ted asks her, "Were you always this pretty? Or are you going to give that whole, 'Oh, in high school I was really shy and awkward' line?" She responds, "I was shy and awkward. I was like a hundred pounds heavier and had this crazy buck teeth!" A stunned Ted asks her if that's the truth and she 'fesses up, "No, I've always been hot!"
But, it's not Tiffany's hotness that stands in the way of being Ted's true love. Just as our poor Ted goes in for a smooch, she coyly asks, "You know who else would love this teacup pig? My boyfriend." Don't fret Ted, we know your true love is out there somewhere! You'll be able to catch the rest of Carrie's acting debut in next week's episode, which airs on Monday, March 1st at 8 p.m.
