If you ask Carrie Underwood, she’d likely tell you Miley Cyrus had the right idea when she stopped using Twitter to stay in touch with her fans.
Carrie’s gone multi-platinum with each of her first two albums and won the Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year award three times in a row. People want to know everything they can find out about her. But even after engaging a huge fan base through her introduction on “American Idol,” Carrie’s been reticent to give away too much of her personal life for public consumption. And she’s completely disinterested in creating a Twitter account.
“It just sounds like organized stalking to me,” she told Billboard. “I’ll be in a restaurant, and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous because you don’t want everybody to know where you are in every second of every day.”
Though Carrie doesn’t have a Twitter account, she has had someone try to pose as her through the service.
It’s tough for anyone to masquerade as Carrie in the vocal field, though. She’s a one-of-a-kind singer, and her third album, Play On, comes out Nov. 3. She’ll co-host The 43rd Annual CMA Awards with Brad Paisley Nov. 11, and possibly walk away with a fourth straight female vocalist trophy.

grammar king,
Where is this comment coming from? I looked at the latest comments and could not find any reference to this comment. Just wondering.
Thanks GAC, love that Carrie is #1 here-Thanks for all the nice things you do for her, as a fan I could not be happier.
So basicaly Tom Roland doesn't think Taylor should win female voclist, haha. and I agree, Carrie is a much better singer. I sure do hope she wins, because i'm thinkin taylor has changed more than her fans realize.
I wish Carrie would put all the music videos on a DVD. I would love to buy it and that way I could save some DVR Space. I love Carrie and think she should make a DVD of her videos so her DIE HARD fans like me Could buy it.
Carrie does have a My Space page and blogs on there, and she has 2-3 sites for free that she shows up on, but I prefer her Private fan club, and the things she sends you for 24.99, you could not buy same articles for that price and it is once a year fee. Most artist do have both options.
carrie is exactly right. i want to be a singer one day and if those dreams come true, i certainly don’t want people watching my every move every moment of everyday. Sure I’d be flattered to have fans come up to me and talk to me but not stalk me. So in my opinion carrie rocks because she wants to keep some of her life private and to herself. GO CARRIE!
I agree with Carrie. This twitter thing is a waste of time. Everybody deserves some privacy.
Carrie ur always great & always knows whats best especially 4 yourself, regardless of what some losers have 2 say. Carrie does have a myspace account but feels no need in having a twitter account, well it is her life now let her live it & decide. DON'T JUDGE, JESUS SAYS SO. love ya Carrie ur fabulous
) !!! P.S. ~ Carrie also has a FREE message board/fan club on the other channels website.
Carrie Underwhatever is ztupid.
You obviously have no musical talent, to say the least. If you think she is ztupid, guess what? You can't even spell. It is spelled stupid. That really just begins to tell the story of your education. Not much I'm guessing. If you can't say something nice, then just stay out of it. I love Carrie and she has it all, plus she is gorgeous. So you are the stupid one!!!!!
carrie is smart and very private
she does not want people to know
her every move and people should
respect her wishes
I wish she would find a way to communicate with her fans for free. I love Carrie, but I can't pay 30 dollars to be in her fanclub. I feel like the fanclub excludes some of her fans. I like how Taylor Swift has a myspace and a twitter because they are free for her fans. Carrie doesn't necessarily have to put where she is going on her Twitter. In fact, most of the celebrities that have Twitters don't do that. They just share random thoughts and their fans like it because it makes them feel closer to their chosen singer/actor/celebrity.
Amanda…I understand that you might not have the $30 to pay for the FC but there are others that are for free such as CUFans where they all chat and also CUofficialhome to just name a few. Carrie has myspace also. But the fans of TS must not have such a great way also because there are many of her fans that are on Carrie's FC that post because there is they do not have a site like that to chat back and forth. I guess it is all about what is best for each artist…you can not please everyone.
Way to go, Carrie. Some people who excessively use Twitter and other social networks have too much time on their hands. They need more drama in their lives so they turn to the internet. Go plant a tree or something worthwhile, people!
I think you mean "uninterested", not "disinterested".
