@ThatEricAlper Kelly isn't Maga, has had a successful talk show for years in addition to The Voice and her 2 decades plus music career. She's the best thing to come from Idol, not Carrie
On this day in 2008, after Carrie Underwood’s performance of "Alone" on "American Idol", Simon Cowell predicted she would outsell every previous winner. She goes on to win and remains the show’s top-selling artist.
Today (10 March) marks the birthday of country music star Carrie Underwood 🥳
In June 2012, Underwood shared her support for gay marriage in an interview with The Independent, saying "As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry. I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."
She went on to say that her liberal attitude towards same-sex marriage comes because of her Christian values, rather than despite them.
