Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift?

While Taylor Swift’s relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce seems to be flourishing, the pop icon isn’t entirely free from industry drama. Recent reports have reignited speculation about long-standing tension between Swift and fellow music superstar Carrie Underwood.

Carrie Underwood, now a high-profile judge on American Idol, has once again found herself under scrutiny—not just for her comments on the show, but also for her controversial decision to perform at President Donald Trump’s Inauguration.

Insiders reportedly told the Daily Mail that Underwood’s performance at Trump’s Inauguration was seen by some in Swift’s circle as an intentional move to “spite Taylor.”

One source claimed, “They’ve had a little bad blood in the past and Taylor famously endorsed Kamala Harris,” implying that Underwood’s appearance was her way of staking claim to the “Miss Americana” identity—one Swift is often associated with.

Underwood’s subtle critiques have raised eyebrows, including a recent American Idol episode where she compared a contestant to Swift in a tone that many interpreted as less than complimentary.
