The Enquirer reveals that a Thanksgiving flirtation has turned into a New Year romance.

When the two were introduced following a Turkey Day Cowboys game, “there was a jolt of attraction, and they began making plans to get together as soon as their busy schedules allowed,�? a source close to the singer told The ENQUIRER.

Sparks flew immediately when the two spent time together following the Cowboys 38-10 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thanksgiving Day.

“During their first meeting, Tony gushed about Carrie’s halftime performance of ‘Before He Cheats,’�? said the source.

“Here’s a guy who has just tied a Cowboys record by throwing five touchdown passes in a game, and he was more concerned with how Carrie had blown the crowd away with her two-song set!�?

The two flirted the rest of the night, says the source, and continued to keep in close contact over the next few weeks by phone and email.

Carrie and Tony were together at the Cowboys game on Christmas.

They planned to spend time more together around the holidays and then were talking about Carrie meeting Tony for Pro Bowl week in Hawaii. He may even escort her to the Grammy’s for their official coming out as a couple.
