Stars Carrie Underwood Can't Stand

Country music lovers know Carrie Underwood as one of the genre's most well-known female singers in recent years. After finding fame as a contestant on Season 4 of "American Idol," she went on to release hits like "Before He Cheats," "Undo It," and "Blown Away." Underwood is one of the few lucky former singing competition show stars who maintained success and fame after leaving TV.

It seems that the country music singer is proud of where she got her start because she shared a heartfelt Instagram post in celebration of the 17th anniversary of her "American Idol" win. She posted a photo of a diary entry she wrote after being crowned the winner. "I took one look at the amazing crowd and let it sink in for a few seconds," the star penned in her diary. "Ryan [Seacrest] said something like, 'And your 2005 American Idol is ... ' My heart beat fast, and I closed my eyes. CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! The crowd went wild."

While she's mostly known for her many accomplishments, the shady side of Carrie Underwood is sometimes put on display. There are a few rumored feuds that helped us compile this list of the stars Carrie Underwood can't stand.

Carrie Underwood's relationship with former "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford also fizzled out early on. According to Cosmopolitan, the stars reportedly met in 2007, and things appeared to have moved quickly. Although the couple only dated for eight months, Crawford introduced Underwood to his parents and made time to see her during her tour. Underwood spoke to Cosmopolitan about their eventual breakup ... which took place over text. "It was like 'peace out.' We both knew it didn't work and [have] no hard feelings whatsoever," she shared. The country music singer went on to share that she doesn't have a hard time moving on, so maybe she didn't mind that she and Crawford said their goodbyes via text. "I'm a suck-it-up-and-move-on kind of person," Underwood continued in the same interview. "Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on."

So, if the split was amicable, why did Crawford make this list? It turns out that there might be a reason why Underwood didn't exactly seem heartbroken that she and the actor didn't work out. She spoke to Now magazine about what really went on in the relationship. "In my heart, I knew it wasn't right," the "Undo It" singer said. "You never really know why someone is with you. I feel like it was more of a publicity stunt." The star also shared that there were times when paparazzi would suspiciously swarm her and Crawford during public outings.

After Carrie Underwood and Tony Romo split, the former football player later began dating Jessica Simpson. Underwood seemingly ruffled Simpson's feathers with a comment she made about Romo in a 2008 interview with Allure. "We were both small-town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame," the country music star said of her ex. When asked about their relationship post-breakup, Underwood shared, "I don't know. The phone will ring, and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

Simpson shut down Underwood's claims during an appearance on the "Woody and Jim" show (via Today). "Tony and I both laughed at that," she revealed. "Yeah, we got a chuckle out of it." "The I Wanna Love You Forever" singer went on to joke that she even looked through Romo's call history to ensure it was free of Underwood's phone number. Simpson also took some time to end speculation regarding a shirt she wore that read "Real Girls Eat Meat." Some believed that the star wore the shirt as a jab at Underwood, who is a long-time vegetarian. "I wore it because I thought it was funny," Simpson said of Underwood. "I don't know what Carrie eats. I didn't know she only eats vegetables." In a later interview with Elle (via In Touch Weekly), Underwood revealed she had no intentions of feuding with the former reality TV star.

Kanye West was also the subject of one of Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley's infamous comical CMA performances. Back in 2009, the duo teamed up to reference the moment West interrupted Taylor Swift's VMA win that year. You might remember that the rapper was quite a hot topic after jumping on stage during Swift's acceptance speech to exclaim that Beyoncé should have won the Best Female Video award. "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish," West said at the time. "But Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!"

The viral moment resulted in a great deal of backlash, and West even faced criticism from his own peers. The Guardian reported that musicians like Pink and Kelly Clarkson spoke out against the rapper. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley may have joined the long list of stars who didn't seem to be too fond of West's bold move with their joke on the CMA stage. They sang, "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to Kanye. Let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks 'cause cowboys have manners; they don't interrupt." Swift was actually in attendance that night, but unfortunately, it appears that her reaction wasn't caught on camera.

It might be safe to say that Carrie Underwood isn't fond of Billy Eichner because she has him blocked on Twitter. Let's rewind, because you're probably wondering what Eichner did to upset Underwood that much. In 2021, Eichner took to Twitter to share a screenshot that showed he had been blocked by the "Before He Cheats" singer. He simply captioned the screenshot, "ICONIC." The "Billy on the Street" host didn't offer any additional explanation at the time.

He finally spoke about the events that led up to the "iconic" moment during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen in 2022. "Carrie Underwood blocked me on Twitter, yeah, which I consider a great honor," Eichner joked. "You know, it was one of the great thrills of my life." The "Bros" star went on to share that he believes he was blocked because he poked fun at Underwood after she retweeted a post that was against children wearing masks at school during the COVID-19 pandemic. The country music star has yet to speak out about Eichner's statement or why she blocked him.
