Though the two haven’t been particularly close over the years, they’ve followed similar career paths and understand each other’s journeys.
Despite the controversy involving Carrie, which kicked off with her performing at Trump’s second inauguration, she has earned support from the original Idol champion herself.
Carrie recently joined her fellow Idol judges on Good Morning America, where fans of the show vowed to skip the episode due to her appearance.
In the comments of GMA’s announcement post for the judge’s appearance on the show, one person shared: “Won’t be watching. Carrie Underwood doesn’t care about truth-telling since she performed for the lying president. No more @carrieunderwood for me.”
