Stars Who Can't Stand Carrie Underwood
Sep 18 2020
Country music star Carrie Underwood has proven time and again that she's a bombshell who slays at everything she does. She's a singer first and foremost, made famous by her 2005 American Idol victory, but she's also a producer, actor, and author.

Her book Find Your Path has made her a New York Times bestselling author, thanks to its body-positive approach to getting strong and healthy. Also, she offers workout programs for her fans.

But being a public figure means Underwood also deals with negativity, and, unfortunately, the star has allegedly had a few feuds with fellow celebrities. Here's a rundown of the drama.

Underwood dated NFL player Tony Romo for a brief time back in 2007, so when her song "Cowboy Casanova" came out, audiences were curious if the tune was secretly for Romo. But in a 2009 interview with Esquire, Underwood was clear that her track was not for Romo, saying,

"I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong. I would never give him that much credit."

Following their split, Romo began dating Jessica Simpson, so things got a bit heated when Underwood claimed in the September 2008 issue of Allure that Romo called her a few times post-split. Underwood said,

"I don't know. The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

However, Simpson spoke up and denied Underwood's claim that Romo was calling his ex. She said on the Nashville radio show, The Woody and Jim Show,

"Tony and I both laughed at that. Yeah, we got a chuckle out of it."

Simpson added that she checked Romo's call log on his phone, but quickly added,

"I'm kidding! I'm not that girl!"

In 2009, Underwood and Brad Paisley joined forces at the CMA Awards to take a jab at Kanye West, who had interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs earlier that year. Underwood and Paisley played off the famous country song, "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," and instead sang, "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to Kanye."

Then in 2011, Underwood joined Paisley again, along with presenter Eric Stonestreet, on stage at the CMA Awards, and poked fun at Kim Kardashian for her very brief marriage to Kris Humphries. On stage, Stonestreet said to Underwood and Paisley,

"I think you forget to sing a song about what's weighing on everyone's mind in this room. The divorce of Kim Kardashian and what's his name!"

The group then sang lines like this:

"I'm going to love you forever, or 72 days."

They went on to sing about being in love for, quote, "as long as Justin Bieber is not a conceiver [and] as long as Taylor Swift is with her current boyfriend." Then they sang about loving someone for, quote, "20 million dollars, [...] a hit TV series, or pics in Us Weekly."

It's probably safe to say Kanye and Kim might not be the biggest Underwood fans after that.

Demi Lovato was a judge on two seasons of the reality show X Factor, and during her time there, she seemingly dissed Underwood's singing ability. The drama all went down in 2013 when contestant Rachel Potter sang the song "Alone," and when asked why she chose that tune, she explained that Underwood had performed the same number. In response to this, Lovato said,

Underwood's fans weren't having any of it, and several jumped online to stand up for her after interpreting Lovato's comment as a slight on the country music star. One person said on Twitter,

"Hey Demi, Carrie Underwood would wipe the floor with every person on this show. Check yourself before you wreck yourself."

Another person questioned,

"Who is Demi to say anything about Carrie. I'd suggest she concentrate on her own career which isn't exactly steller."

However, if this was an actual beef, it appeared to simmer down by 2016. Underwood sent a tweet to Brad Paisley, who collaborated with Lovato. She wrote,

"I've always wanted to sing with Demi Lovato!"

And Lovato replied,

"Then you gotta join us cause I've always wanted to sing with YOU too!!"
