Was Faith Joking? See What Carrie Has To Say

Carrie Underwood is a hot commodity these days. She’s the second most tagged artist on The 9513 (right behind my man, Johnny Cash), and it’s not like we go out of our way to write about her, she just pops up in the news almost everyday. And, today is no different, CMT has finally confronted her about the controversy with Faith Hill and what she thinks about the whole thing. Underwood says:

“I was definitely surprised at how everything happened after the CMAs as far as the Faith Hill incident goes,” Underwood said. “I mainly was just saddened because I knew it was going to be a big thing for her. I knew she didn’t mean it. … I think Tim [McGraw] was sitting at home watching, and as soon as she did that, I think he called her and was like, ‘This is gonna be bad.’ So she called me immediately and said, ‘It’s no big deal. I’m so sorry. I was just messing around, and it was sort of a joke gone bad, and I would never disrespect you.’

“And she’s always been so nice. She and Tim have always been really sweet to me. … I had no reason not to believe her. And I said, ‘Thank you. It means a lot to me that you called, and I really, really respect you for calling as soon as possible to make things right, but I’m sorry for whatever’s about to happen.’”

During the awards show, Underwood was unaware of Hill’s joke.

“Obviously, I was sitting in the audience,” she said. “I didn’t see what happened — like everybody did at home — so I did go to look it up afterwards just to see exactly what happened. … I would’ve thought she was joking, but I guess I could see where people like my fans … who were really protective of me, which is really awesome … would think she was being disrespectful. … I just felt really bad for her that she was just messing around back stage and it kind of got taken out of context.”

Hopefully everybody can put the whole ordeal behind them now. Even Carrie says that Faith was just joking and there’s nothing to be riled up about, it was all a bunch of media spin.
