They are two of the best singers on the planet.
They are every American Idol masters.
And yet … Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson have not exactly been the best friends.
But is that all? Are the artists simply not close? Or has there always been some of the rivalry between Clarkson and Underwood?
Of late, a possible feud has been scraped between the superstars … Most likely because Underwood was facing technical difficulties during her performance of “America the beautiful” at the president’s inauguration in January.
In contrast, Clarkson knocked it all out of the park when she sang at Barack Obama inauguration in 2013.
Underwood also faced criticism for simply agreeing to perform at an event that honored Donald Trump.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in response to the backlash via statement to People Magazine and added earlier this year:
“I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we should all come together in the spirit of unity and look at the future.”
Many critics doubt that Clarkson would have accepted a similar invitation in the name of such a polarizing commander.
“For years, fans have speculated that she and Kelly Clarkson are not coming together,” said a source recently in contact with weekly and continues as follows:
“Apart from the obvious – they are both mothers and singers – they don’t really have much in common. They just never really connected as friends. “
Both American Idol -Masters have neglected comparison in the past along with any excitement in their relationship.
Back in 2018, Clarkson twited “We both win in life and pretty blessed,” as Carrie replied, “Either way, girl, I voted for you!”
Rille until 2023, when Clarkson was a guest to see what happens live with Andy Cohen and the same topic was brought.
“There is no beef between us,” Clarkson insisted on air at that time. “There is nothing between us. We don’t even know each other well enough! “
